The Grille at Flower Hill in Gaithersburg has a very peculiar way of responding to complaints.

Follow up: This guy is a massive piece of work

"(P)eople need to be exposed to germs."

This misconception I think is also a problem
Asked if he thinks that the coronavirus is a threat to health, he cites the claim by President Donald Trump that 99% of all coronavirus cases are harmless.

1. taking medical advice from a reality show TV star can kill you
2. Just because you don't die, doesn't mean it's harmless. 

The info on long term impacts on survivors is getting a little press.  But I keep hearing how people are still on oxygen, not even remotely back to what they were. 
Long term issues with the brain, nervous, circulatory and pulmonary systems too
there is no way that doesn't impact life expectancy and quality of life for survivors

Yeesh


It could have gone ok but we messed up


If we average 60,000 cases for 115 days by election time we will have 10 million confirmed cases...it’s just unbelievable to me...my neighbor and I were talking and shaking our heads cause the way this is going things may not be handled til 2021

Huh? Nothing to gain by avoiding covid?

That’s a weird thing to say

And the idea letting this thing get out of control isn’t going to impact us?

This keeps going the way it is there are going to be serious repercussions for everyone

If you work in a risky environment, once you are forced back to work then there is very little you can do to prevent yourself from getting COVID.

And there is nothing that any of us can do to stop the virus when 35% of the public thinks the virus isn't serious and the rest of us have to work to keep our livelihoods.

I have a hard time condemning people who are forced to go into factories and places like that for going on vacation, when they see that the country is being forced open.  Leadership matters.

Well my fellow humans, it's been nice knowing you. Stick a fork in us, we're done.

Why does it have to be the end? Plenty of countries in Europe had it bad and are now carrying on with infections in the hundreds and deaths in the teens...


This isn’t so hard!


Now if your people refuse to wear masks, can’t stop going to bars and having Covid parties then, yea, the end might have to come...

I guess I just don’t see why provided people and businesses take precautions things can’t reopen...

Meat packing plants that are Super spreaders ? Shut them down

Again, not that hard


Nobody is being asked to go to war here!

Democrats will be faced with a tough choice

Just with respect to concert venues no deal means no aid and will make it hard for some venues to survive ...a deal doesn’t necessarily mean aid will arrive

I would vote NO...whatever Republicans put forth will have too many poison pills

This next bill will look more like the R bill than the House HEROES Act.  My guess it will be Senate bill plus a couple of thing.

Dems will absolutely capitulate on business liability, but it won't even be a capitulation because Schumer and Pelosi want to help them out, they just don't want to say it.

In fact this virus seems to love partying, bars and live music!

Fucker

I think the thing is that alcohol and smoking probably make one more at risk and lowers your immune response too.  So putting you at higher risk of catching  (unlike at a protest where people are staying sober)

What is odd is stupidy isn't technically a risk-factor.  But it's becoming aperent it is.

Definitely no. This is absolutely incorrect.

You have no immunity.  The symptoms of COVID are your body's immune system trying to figure out what to do.

Alcohol and smoking are higher risk factors, but only because they cloud your judgement and you no longer practice social distancing or wear masks.  (Tho for real, people going to bars probably didn't bring masks to begin with.)

1 in 3 young adults vulnerable to severe Covid-19 — and smoking plays a big part, research finds
