Just now, mission27 said: Imagine the number of drunk *******s playing the free country card as to why they could stand wherever they want to watch the fireworks That’s why I think you’d have to have ticket sales for access to the intended viewing area, vendors, etc. Sure people could line up on the streets, and maybe I’m just looking at this more from a suburban perspective than an inner city one. Just now, mission27 said: But hopefully we get creative and have some fireworks some places, otherwise you're gonna have a lot of bootleg fireworks shows blowing peoples hands off and **** which isn't great either. Since fireworks are outdoors it makes it a little easier. Having worked in a burn unit for 5 years, I assure you having fireworks shows available to watch doesn’t stop idiots from lighting their own. Ive never understood the appeal personally. “Hey, wanna drop a few hundred (or a couple grand which some folks do) to make a huge mess on your property to see fireworks that you can see elsewhere for free and that are exponentially better??” Who can say no to that? 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched the show tbh I just started it, it's hilarious to a Texan like me... most people here love it too. It doesn't interest me enough now, I might watch it once it's done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allow it to happen and an outbreak happens and you were reckless. Don’t allow it and “yer tramplin’ muh right tuh farwerks”. I’d love to see a way for things like this to continue by limiting attendance through ticket sales, requirements for masks, hand sanitizer stations, etc., but perhaps that’s not profitable or too hard to enforce. what at you implying here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If read solely for entertainment value, which is the only way to read a NK statement, it's kind of a great flex considering Kim Jung-Un died and came back to life. That means statistically NK has had 0 COVID-19 cases and -1 COVID-19 deaths. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting until it gets busy to make a change or expecting people to do the right thing are not ideal. And when you say better off, what do you mean? I'm no doctor but if the outside air is clean wouldn't it be better to breathe that directly than breathing through a mask that has any pathogens that you've been breathing into it? Maybe that's not a problem at all, idk You're right that it's probably not logical to be changing the policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's not a problem at all, idk You're right that it's probably not logical to be changing the policy Masks aren’t worn so you aren’t breathing in pathogens, unless you’re rocking an N95 or something (at least as far as a high degree of filtration). You wear face covering so you’re not sneezing, coughing, wheezing, spitting (when you talk), etc and putting those droplets in the air. If everyone is wearing them, you’re reducing the likelihood on both ends. Edited May 20, 2020 by LETSGOBROWNIES 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The virus inside your lungs is multiplying exponentially so the addition or subtraction of a few viruses from breathing isn't going to make a meaningful difference in the grand scheme of things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point was NK saying “don’t blame the WHO for your incompetence” being the pretty damn smug. I’m always up for a little political shade throwing.
