Corona - Lane Opening/Decline in Membership
« on: May 29, 2020, 11:56:49 AM »
Residing in NYC area, Summer leagues are a no go, unsure if our fall leagues will start up in September, hearing about an abbreviated season starting in January.  Fortunately bowling center owners have taken this time to maintain and update the center. 

Bowling membership in leagues have been on the decline over the past years, how many fear that people will get accustomed to staying home and don't need bowling in their lives?  My wife's mixed league has gone to 10-12 teams of 4, not sure she will be able to maintain.  Any opinions about membership in surrounding areas.

Yea, what would I know about anything. I've only worked for one of the largest providers of Skilled Nursing Care and Mental Health services in California for the past 13 years.

I know what I see. And what I see on the news is not what we are seeing in our hospitals and Skilled Nursing facilities.

Yeah, I hear you but cannot find a emoji that displays a pat on the back. I'm sure you are good @ what you do in life. And kudos to you for doing so. I'd say don't take it personally, but it appears that you already have. Geesh!  ::) Open fire and flame away @ your discretion. One has to wonder what these latest couple of posts has to do with the bowling forum in general that we all enjoy though.

Ah, my bad. I guess I misread this compliment as an insult.  ::)

The governor of Illinois plan for Friday changed a bit today, either bad assumptions by everyone, or they pivoted, but it's now the LESSER of 50% of capacity based on 6 persons per lane or 50 people, counting employees in the center at one time. So smaller centers might still justify giving it a go near term, but big centers, this hurts.

Yea, it definitely hurts. But at least there will be some cash flow.

CV case fatality rate is less than .26%.
And then consider the horrible treatment in nursing homes. Inflated numbers from ventilator murder in places like Elmhurst hospital. Couting people who suspect died "with" covid as "from" covid and it's a mess.

Still waiting for a shred of science that ANY of there meauses prevent illness. How about letting the young and health get it, develop immunity and then just forgot about the whole thing.

This is about destroying small businesses and implementing a tyranny control grid. Not about virus. Went bowling in CT this weekend, no one there gave a fuck. Of course place mostly empty. Didn't wear a face mask either. Even people at desk didn't unless they were directly talking to customers. Then it went right off again.

And this isn't going to "hurt" bowling. It continues it will END bowling and movies and weddings and holidays and hotels and pretty much anything that give life joy and meaning.

If someone else is afraid of covid-19, let them bunker down home or put on a hazmat suit any of the rare times they need to step outside. I don't care. What I do care about is you people destroying businesses and lives by supporting corrupt politicians and destroying businesses. In other words, you can live in fear and horror until you are dead, just leave the rest of us rationale folks alone to live our lives.

Why can't we just agree on that and end this nonsense?

Your on to something here; I mostly agree with your assessment. Ignorance is definitely bliss here.

If there are any bowling alleys or pro shops left in North Carolina, they've been pushed back to July 17.

For sure there’s a sweeper at Poplar Creek tonight and they are already manipulating the numbers by saying the bar and bowling center are two different entities even though they are under the same roof. 50 in the bar and 50 in center. 100 people in the building and you don’t have to wear a mask in seatee area? Two things this pandemic has cemented is most Americans are selfish and/or stupid.

All these people who are barely qualified to bag groceries are suddenly infectious disease experts online with medical degrees/credentials from the top universities in the world. I can’t trust these same people to bathe on a consistent basis so I will not be in close contact with them to bowl.

Is Jerry running that?

You know, there's nothing I would love to do more than bowl a sweeper, but there is no chance in hell I'm walking into a center in the next 4 to 5 months. And if I was, I'd have hand sanitizer on my belt and my mask on full time.
