Would it not just be easier to arrest all the elderly

LOL! Remember the scene from that doomsday movie where folks were mobbing the border to get to warmer weather?

Yeah, that one.

That's exactly what we'd be seeing in Nogales if the tequila ran dry!!! Forget hospitals being overwhelmed... our poor Border Patrol!

Can't me and grandpa hunker down together? We've weathered every other kind of storm together I don't see why we need to change that now.

We already have the tequila.

Yeah good idea, lets Logan Run them!!!

Nah we figure disinfect the inside where the virus will want to live.

It could work.

There's citrus involved and that has vitamin C.

If it ensure the safety of the younger generations, yes...

And how exactly would that "ensure the safety of the younger generations"?

You said yourself that it's the old folks at risk. And kids seem to carry it, but not contract it. So, really, it's the younger generations who are threatening the health and safety of the older generations.

Seems to me -- by your own logic -- that it should be you younguns that are rounded up and isolated so that YOU don't give US your corona cooties...

Would that not just be easier???

Maybe just a sponge bath cuz we wouldn't want to waste that Quervo.

Well, come to think of it, seems to me that "self" isolation by definition would include choosing who (or if) one will isolate with... and you would seem to have the appropriate supplies...

So by all means, yes, you and Grandpa carry on!

Maybe not arrest put put in isolation/secure unit all the elderly
You see almost all the deaths are elderly who are less immune to this

Would it not be the best bet to just isolate them, and then we have far less to worry about as most younger people can cope with the virus

So, reverse social distancing for the elderly? Put them in isolation, er, concentration camps, where if one gets sick they all get sick?

Brilliant.

Note to self...

Buy tequila futures.

That's a good compromise...

And El Patron would approve!!!

Or we could just give honey to the infected and move on in life?

It kills viruses and is super cheap and plentiful!

Nah, let's have crackdowns and panic and kill everyone instead!

Deaths caused by CoV = 20,000
Deaths caused by your policy = 25 million

They are asking me what I'm laughing about from the livingroom!

That brought tears to my eyes.

Corona cooties. Still laughing.

Can we just abort out adults kids??
I mean all they do is sit in their basement, sleep the day away and are like mice coming out after we go to bed raiding our fridge, dirtying our dishes, and slamming the basement door every hour on the hour as they forage for more munchies.

LOL!

Morning belly laughs are always the best, eh?

I just tried to buy four cases of Cazadores and the liquor store guy laughed at me from the other side of a locked door. =/

Yep and they are the carriers like rats and the bubonic plague

Ohhhhh nooooooooooooooo! The inhumanity of it all!!!

Now I'm worried...

I've had my fun here, but I do have a couple serious observations...

It's pretty darn sad that the ones at greatest risk -- us old geezers -- have a better sense of humor about this than the young 'uns at little risk.

And it's even sadder that some snowflakes desperate for a safe space are a bigger threat to us than the virus.

What a sad commentary on the state of things.

a reply to: Boadicea

Agreed. We all went out to dinner last night (the horror!) and had margaritas. The youngin's -- bless their heart -- were acting sketchy but us 50+ were joking back and forth like it was the end of the world (which only made the kids contort in faux-agony). You should have seen the look on my daughter's face when I asked her boyfriend to go into the bathroom and steal all the toilet paper... priceless!

Could just load us onto cruise ships and give the cruise ship companies our social security checks.
Kill two birds with one stone, we will be sailing around the world, not seeing much since no visits to land, but all the martinis and steaks we desires.. and the companies get a bailout. Cruise ships... the new retirement home!! And once the virus has done its thing, we can enjoy the Bahamas and Hawaii, japan.....
