Social Distancing Party Boats?

[Bates]

Fox and Friends just had Gov. on and they read the RFA letter to him on air! He cannot ignore it now. Let's see what happens. Hope he applies the "Golf" solution.....

I just heard in TX they re opened restaurants and movie theaters and have a 25% occupancy rule... Not like they are forcing people to go to these places, but they can if they choose to.

Gerry there's two sides to every coin. All the college students in Florida at spring break wanted a choice and we know how that ended up. We're talking about a pandemic here, not contracting the measles. Personally I don't want all the Darwinian nominees this year making decisions which might kill me, family members, friends or anyone. When a personal choice potentially puts others lives at risk I don't agree the choice should be left up to 300 million people when we're talking about the most serious world-wide health crisis in a century. Look at what California just experienced in re-opening beaches because of the idiots who came out in force this weekend and forgot social distancing and safety risks to party and get a tan.

I applaud what you're doing for small businesses but no business should come at the expense of others lives until science says it's the correct move to make with definitive evidence the safety risk has diminished. We open markets and industry too soon and this thing flares back up unemployment which just hit 30 million first time filings in the last month alone will hit 60 million and then there's no answer. And those numbers don't even include the people because of state unemployment delays who haven't been able to file or people furloughed or terminated who don't qualify for unemployment benefits. The number is significantly greater.

Maybe the answer is instead of giving the Harvard's of the world $11 million and hedge funds God only knows how many hundreds of millions of dollars in stimulus funds, give it directly to the American people who need it to put food on the table, pay their mortgages and car loans, insurance, living costs etc. as opposed to playing politics because it's an election year.
