Not sure what the heck your posting expecting an answer.all for going out Grand-mom guilt tripped doing anything. Kids are better than me.
That’s the reason I have stuck to my Nordic Track indoors. I have never seen so many people walking or jogging in my entire life and most of them have no clue about what social distancing is.The best consequence is that it has forced wife and I to set the alarm for 5:15 am so that we can get our 5 mile walk in before the socially-inconsiderate Millenial joggers emerge from their parent’s basements. I’ve come close to pepper spraying a couple of the pesky twits.
Businesses shut down, people forced to stay home, a crippled economy, the worst unemployment in the history of the country...yeah, small potatoes.bored to tears, but compared to my parent's generation's sacrifices this is very small potatoes
You forgot to mention the 80,000 Americans who died in the last 60 days.Businesses shut down, people forced to stay home, a crippled economy, the worst unemployment in the history of the country...yeah, small potatoes.
Maybe of you get it you wouldn't think it really is small potatoes.Businesses shut down, people forced to stay home, a crippled economy, the worst unemployment in the history of the country...yeah, small potatoes.
The poster doesn’t believe it is small potatoes at all...he/she is using sarcasm. Just because someone doesn’t believe wrecking an economy and causing families to struggle to feed their family and provide for basic needs is small potatoes does not mean they concurrently believe death is no big deal. It is possible to recognize 2 truths at the same timeMaybe of you get it you wouldn't think it really is small potatoes.
I’m not the one who said it was small potatoes...in fact, I said the opposite. I was being sarcastic.Maybe of you get it you wouldn't think it really is small potatoes.
I think you should take a look at the big picture----at least the Millenials are attempting excercise instead of playing some nonsensical video game.Stay at Home has been a bit inconvenient, but it’s really not much different from being an everyday retiree.

Not suggesting what we're encountering isn't bad. But a person born in 1900 saw WW1 as a young adult, the Spanish Flu pandemic, a decade of the Great Depression as adults in their 30's, and WW2 in their 40's. The Greatest Generation saw the Great Depression as children and WW2 as adults.Businesses shut down, people forced to stay home, a crippled economy, the worst unemployment in the history of the country...yeah, small potatoes.
And we’ve had 911, two wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the only pandemic in the history of the world that has shut almost everything down. And depending how far you go back, we had Vietnam. We also now have unemployment at unprecedented levels. I’d say we’re pretty even.Not suggesting what we're encountering isn't bad.

I don't think it's possible nor productive to compare catastrophes, but some historical perspective isn't going to hurt either.

So to answer Potter’s question, ... It’s a pandemic that’s killed 80,000 Americans and those who haven’t yet been floored by the disease itself are at varying levels of not doing so well at home.And we’ve had 911, two wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the only pandemic in the history of the world that has shut almost everything down. And depending how far you go back, we had Vietnam. We also now have unemployment at unprecedented levels. I’d say we’re pretty even.
And now we have legislatures and lawyers looking to pass laws and get court decisions that would bankrupt our country based on Business Interruption coverage that is not in the contract. So this could get waaayyyy worse than anything we’ve ever seen.
Don’t count your chickens on it being small potatoes yet. If things don’t turn around soon, we will be facing a “Greater” Depression with accompanying civil unrest that could lead to who knows what.bored to tears, but compared to my parent's generation's sacrifices this is very small potatoes
