    Both. Its always been both not a big deal that we shouldn't wreck the big, beautiful economy over and also the Chinese have been lying about how serious the virus was, the blood is on their hands. As if they've ever been coherent.

    I knew Allatoona, thought some was on Lanier. Decent lakes. Carters is further north but has huge stripers.

    My first cousin's son is in this season's shows, he was the young Marty. And my cousin got a cameo role in the show playing young Marty's dad laying in the hospital bed.

    In the strange news arena, it looks like Asia is about to have a baby boom. The world's largest condom maker, in Malaysia, has shut down over coronavirus outbreak in the area. They are projecting a shortage of 100 million condoms.

    You have to sit through a video on the Chinese harassing a Malaysian oil tanker before the condom video comes up.

    Sweden and Switzerland seeing cases and deaths rise. Both have lax restrictions.

    Also both have moved into the top 15 of total deaths(13 and 15 respectively) both have the smallest populations in the the top 15.

    Sweden had decided to take a hit by not following CSC guidelines.

    Their position seems to be get it over with and continue life as normal.

    Will the deaths be worth it????

    We will see where they end up comparatively, once the virus is gone or a vaccine is distributed.

    Switzerland took the same approach and now has blinked after seeing numbers rise.
