I knew there were a lot of naive/gullible people in the world, but I GROSSLY underestimated the quantity and the depth it runs. Until I witnessed the ridiculous blind following of the mandates and rules and the actions of those enforcing it all, I seriously could not have imagined we'd be where we are today. The pending gun grab is going to be like candy from a baby.

If you're healthy, why do you need to be on house arrest?

Because many of the people I know are not healthy or are in their late 70's and early 80's. If I have a possibility of being sick I don't want to get them sick.

Did the same when I had the flu last yeat at this time.

In my case, I follow the rules set by my wife's employer. Still no word yet on what exactly is going to happen, but I guess I'm hanging around the house today.

So, anyone that needs extra annoyance today, I've got the time, so just let me know. It's only because I really care.

In that case, would you mind taking a shift arguing with Doug?

Huh? You have to follow rules set by your wife's employer - who has no authority over you of any kind? Never heard of that, but it's a whole new world out there with companies and governments making huge power grabs and people meekly giving their approval.

Perhaps if his wife wants to keep her job he's required to play along?

If anyone here is in the Houston area and has been exposed, please tell me what your employer's policy is. I have some chores at home I could do.

Wear a purposeless mask and do what you want and go where you want.

Perhaps. I've never heard of a person's continued employment depending on the employee's spouse obeying the employer's policies. That would be bizarre and not something I'd ever agree to.

A coworker and her friend are dating two of the Houston Astros and during the season, they had two choices. Not see them the entire time, or be on lockdown with them the entire time. My coworker chose to not see him, the other girl went on lockdown with her boyfriend.

They would be benched for violating.
