Holly posted this on Facebook-excuse the language...but it needs to be said:







And here were my responses.

Amen...Don't be the jerk who ruins it for everyone. Car shows will be back later. Vacations can happen later. Use this time smartly and effectively. Don't think that this couldn't / won't happen to you. Practice what the doctors are saying. We'll all get through this.

Am I overreacting, maybe! But, we've had Holly for 30 wonderful years...and I'll be safe rather than sorry. Don't be a selfish jerk, and we'll all get through this...

Be safe everyone.

I think Lynn requested we separate this topic from the values on our cars. A lot of post on the other thread co-mingled both topics so it's difficult transfer those posts..


I have over half my staff working remotely. There are some efficiencies lost but the health and welfare of our employee is most important. My department staff has been with mean average 20 plus years (some 35 yes it's a rather mature group... that the PC speaking ). I've spoken to them collectively as a group, and I felt addressing their concerns individually in these circumstances would help.


It's times like these people step up and are noticed. My glass is half full and wish everyone and their families continued health.


We are all in this together so please respect everyone's opinions and concerns.

Theaters Seek Government Assistance for ‘Unprecedented’ Crisis

The movie theater industry is asking for Congress and the Trump Administration to urgently consider fiscal relief as it grapples with a global shut down of business operations due to the coronavirus.

In a March 18 statement from the National Association of Theater Owners, the trade group said the immediate fiscal aid would allow exhibitors and its 150,000 employees to weather the present COVID-19 pandemic crisis.

Exhibitors, which include AMC Theatres and Regal Cinemas, are looking for loan guarantees to ease liquidity issues imposed by fixed costs in the face of non-existent revenue.

Shouldn't this thread be in the LOUNGE FORUM?

New coronavirus finger-prick test 'can detect infection in 15 minutes'

A UK based laboratory claims it has developed a finger-prick testing kit that can detect Covid-19 infection in just 15 minutes.

AlphaBiolabs told the Liverpool Echo that the test can be performed by an individual or company health professional, and will show whether a person has the coronavirus or not.

The Warrington based firm claimed the sample collection method used is less unpleasant than the current nasopharyngeal method, which involves swapping the nose and the back of the throat.

The CDC just quietly dropped the death toll from 121 to 97. I guess the Coronavirus isn’t as deadly as they predicted.

March 18, 2020
COVID-19: U.S. at a Glance*
Total cases: 7,038
Total deaths: 97

Jurisdictions reporting cases: 54 (50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and US Virgin Islands)

* Data include both confirmed and presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 reported to CDC or tested at CDC since January 21, 2020, with the exception of testing results for persons repatriated to the United States from Wuhan, China and Japan. State and local public health departments are now testing and publicly reporting their cases. In the event of a discrepancy between CDC cases and cases reported by state and local public health officials, data reported by states should be considered the most up to date

Now that we have a dedicated thread, you made this statement 2 days ago. This would be a good place for you to explain your rational.
