Coronavirus
« on: March 13, 2020, 11:19:28 AM »
Has any leagues been cancelled that some of you bowl in due to the Coronavirus ? A tournament I was going to bowl in pulled the plug. I'm in Ohio where mass gatherings of 100 or more are prohibited. Things are changing daily so it could be an adjustment after the 2 p.m. press conference.

Will business interruption insurance cover losses from the pandemic? The premiums must be astronomical.

Depends on the risk/policy, lost business income typically doesn’t cover pandemics. Just a reminder to read your policy.

Listen, I'm the biggest tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist you'll ever meet. (Ask me about how I feel about Google Assistant, Siri and Alexa over a beer once this is all over) but this isn't a hoax. Might the media be spinning this out of control? Maybe, but that's nothing new. Might the government be testing how far we'll go, making it easy to justify self quarantining and then being able to justify Marshall Law? Maybe.

But the illness and threat is real. Please don't mistake that.

Here is an example of the real danger when we have a lot of shit-for-brains nutjobs spreading their own version of the truth(not mentioning any specific names here).

I'm about 4 hours from Vegas.  Was BSing with my co-workers this morning and they are also my bowling teammates.  I say, "If Vegas opened up this weekend would you guys be willing to go on a road trip just to bowl for a few hours for fun?  No tournaments, no leagues, just fun."  Roll a for a few hours and then drive right back.

We were all in.

It isn't opening up for a while.

I mean, you know it's bad when Mayor Goodman is allowing alcohol delivery instead of you going out for fun. It's even worse when McCarran closes of their 5 terminals, checkpoints to those terminals, and 2 parking lots, and 2 of their 4 runways.

3 employees at the Costco in Henderson tested positive for it, along with one of the members of the Southern Nevada Health District, and a LEO for the NLVPD. Combined with the already known cases we have, and seeing how that should be small compared to the now 7.5 million people here, it's going around down here much faster than everyone realizes. The hotels jumped the gun badly in starting sales for hotel bookings the day after Sisolak's 30-day shutdown ends, especially as he just called up the Nevada National Guard.

Thanks for the info.  Like most of us on here, we are really in need of our bowling fix.  If this stuff turns all walking dead or zombieland I'm headed up to Beverly Hills to occupy one of those mansions with a bowling alley in the basement.

I'm sure people are bowling without any concern in Sweden or South Dakota.

I wish Kristi Noem was on ballot for president. Because she respects people and freedom. She knows it's not her job to dictate grow adults around like a pack of sheep.

Life is about risk. Nothing is risk free. Today on news was a story of a women who died b/c a tree fell on her. Should we go on a crusade to destroy all trees now? The official risk of death from cv-19 (not that I trust those numbers) is quite low. For people who do not live in nursing homes, even lower.

Those who want to become hermits and only go out with a hazmat suit, whatever. It'd your life. If you want to squander it in fear of a common cold virus, that is your choice. No one has a right to order me about and tell me I can't go outside, stand next to friends, nor need to wear a face diaper.

There is no common cold exception clause in the constitution. We are supposed to have HUMAN RIGHTS. Freedom of speech, assembly, to be secure in our possession and freedom to be left alone from government bureaucrats who will never relinquish tyrannical powers handed over to them.

Gov't shutting down businesses in order to "protect" people is tyranny. Governor Cuomo - tyrant.  Newsom - tyrant. Whitmer - tyrant. Thier tyranny is destroying many more lives then it could possibly save. Of course, looking at Kristi Noem and South Dakota we can see the lockdowns have done NOTHING. She didn't need to destroy the lives and business of her constituents to save them. Maybe b/c she is a real governor who serves her people instead of treating them like cattle.

Kristi Noem doesn't have a covid crisis b/c she respects people and freedom. She didn't need to shut down bowling in order to power trip over free citizens.

So I suggest we follow her model. No lockdown. No closed bowling alleys. No stupid rules that make no sense.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that her state only has 2 cities with a population above 50k, and is about as far from a major point of entry into the country as you can find.  Nope, it's all because she respects people.

Tell a lie so bloody much until you believe it's the truth, yes?

You still are ... no.. I can't call it naive anymore. Hell, I can't call it ignorant anymore. You still are stupidly ignorant to what SCOTUS said, and in doing so, shot your entire argument down 105 years ago. I'm not going to repeat it again, because at this point, it's easier to clap with one hand than it is trying to explain that to you.

And Kristi Noem? You mean Governor Kristi Noem, from South Dakota? The same Kristi Noem who believed the same exact thing you do and said "to hell with COVID", and allowed the biker gathering at Sturgis to occur? You know, the same biker gathering that broke out with 200 cases of COVID in a single weekend?

If you want to risk dying because "freedom!" and be willingly ignorant to the fact that you are not only putting your life, but other people's lives in jeopardy, than that's on you. Just so you know, in doing so, not only has the legal precedent been set for attempted murder, but your actions would also fall under domestic terrorism, as that has already been tried in court as well.

So well, done, and keep it up. You'd wind up being a convicted felon and terrorist because of your absolutely asinine opinions about "freedom".

Domestic terrorism? What a stupid thing to say. You got to take a chill pill,dude. You believe it's you're right to have an opinion, but like many in this country, think others don't have the same right. I maybe, don't agree with everything that was said, but he has a right to say it as much as you have a right to disagree, but to make a moronic statement like domestic terrorism, goes outside those norms. If property destruction, looting, burning, terroristic acts against innocent people are not considered domestic terrorism, then your take holds no water!!!

And this from a typical conservative right wingnut.  :o ::)  ;D

I look at both sides and form an opinion  without needing someone else telling me what to think. I'm truly sorry you don't have the same ability.
