    You need to tweet this as a meme. Well done.

      Nah. You know we have to continue to prop up dying/dead industries because #votes.

        I'm not sure how oil being in the negative makes us want to switch to electric. The push to electric or clean energy was always about providing an alternative that was also cheaper. Not sure this is the time to make that argument.

          I think he was referring to the point that with fewer cars on the roads these days, thus putting out less pollution, there have been several articles and pictures showing nature healing itself due to the less pollution.

          Thus his family, and several others when reading those articles, are at least considering the idea of switching to electric cars due to we are really getting an idea of how much the pollution hurts nature.

            This.

            Also, this, which is fairly new reporting.



            High levels of air pollution may be “one of the most important contributors” to deaths from Covid-19, according to research.

            The analysis shows that of the coronavirus deaths across 66 administrative regions in Italy, Spain, France and Germany, 78% of them occurred in just five regions, and these were the most polluted.

            The research examined levels of nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced mostly by diesel vehicles, and weather conditions that can prevent dirty air from dispersing away from a city. Many studies have linked NO2 exposure to health damage, and particularly lung disease, which could make people more likely to die if they contract Covid-19.

            “The results indicate that long-term exposure to this pollutant may be one of the most important contributors to fatality caused by the Covid-19 virus in these regions and maybe across the whole world,” said Yaron Ogen, at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in Germany, who conducted the research. “Poisoning our environment means poisoning our own body, and when it experiences chronic respiratory stress its ability to defend itself from infections is limited.”

                I have seen this a lot on Twitter.

                People stating not everyone likes everyone, let's just get out and let the vulnerable people stay inside.

                What?

                  People being selfish and thumbing their noses at others goes back well before this pandemic. Ditto the political sniping back and forth

If Daycare’s open back up then those slots will fill up fast not too mention it takes time (to account for medical records, etc...) to enroll kids in daycare.

                      At least here in Houston, daycares have never closed. I have a niece and an ex-girlfriend that work at daycares and both have only had their hours cut because of less kids.

                      I agree, though. Schools remaining closed still will certainly create a lot of demand.

                        i dont understand why others dont see this either. Ths precedence being set is extremely disconcerting, legit or not. I've seen wicked men take an inch and make it go 5 miles.

                        It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                          This is the last I'll say about it and then I'll move on.

                          Just because the government has the capability doesn't mean we should just let them do it.

                          I have the capability anytime I want to do a lot of things that are illegal. That doesn't mean I should be allowed to.

                            I feel like if there were more publicity on the rare earth mining that goes on in places like China and now Africa people would be less likely to think electric cars and things like smart phones are a good idea. You’re just trading polluting the earth one way to a different way. Just with EV we don’t see the damage cuz it’s on the other side of the world.

                                I've only been alive for 34 years. Nothing I can do about people oppressed by the government before my time. But since I have turned 18 years old, I can do something about it and call BS when I see it. But, I guess it's my "privilege."
