        I mean to be fair he has a PhD so it wouldn’t necessarily be wrong to call him a doctor.

            From a long time ago and he's not licensed to practice psychology. I would venture that he's not up to date on current research in the field.

            And I guess judging from the original post about him, he's offering advice or knowledge about the virus, which would be well outside of his "area of expertise"

              He made a comment comparing coronavirus deaths to car accidents, drownings and other accidental deaths saying we don’t shut the country down for those deaths

                Basically, he stated that more people die committing suicides, smoking cigarettes, heart attacks, car accidents, etc.... and we don't shut down the country.

                  Since I was the one who first mentioned him, I should note that he's right that we don't have these shutdowns for car accidents, drownings, or cigarette use. (The numbers he provided were inaccurate, though)

                  I just don't remember the last time I heard about anyone catching a car accident from someone coughing.

                    Anyone who listens to Dr. Oz or Dr. Phil needs to really check themselves first. I would go far to say 75% of these "Doctors" major news networks have on are speaking about things they have no experience in but since they have a PhD people think they are qualified.

                    Remember when Dr. Fauci himself was on the news saying this virus will not risk Americans? How about the head of the New York Health in March saying people are safe to go about their normal lives and this virus should not scare people?

                    My concern is if we do not open the economy soon, things are going to get much, much worse. People are getting desperate, if you can't work and can't feed your family, what are you going to do? Something desperate and crazy.

                      I've typed out and deleted multiple posts on these subjects the last two days but I'm just gonna shortly say that I'm beyond ready to go back to work and as a small business owner it's beyond defeating seeing my fellow business-owners going out of business because of loopholes in the Cares Act that lets companies such as Ritz-Carlton, Marriott, Ruth's Chris, and Shake Shack (to name a few) eat up hundreds of millions of dollars from the SMALL BUSINESS funding program. I'm very fortunate that I was able to secure funding for my business that should buy me some time but if I can't open soon, I'm gonna join the many that will have lost everything we worked so hard for. And not all businesses have the ability to work from home (like mine).

                        I think being so far behind the curve on testing is going to make the next few weeks the worst yet. The push to end the lockdowns and the lack of test capacity to do so responsibly are going to clash so hard and cost us so much money. Without contact tracing a single gathering could tip the scales in any given community the way patient 31 did in South Korea.

                          It would also be helpful to have all levels of government coordinating together as much as possible rather than this **** show they're all running currently.

                          What a pathetic state of affairs.

                            Agreed FT.

                            National Guard might be needed in Michigan, Minnesota and Virginia.

                            I'm sure Wisconsin will be next on the hit parade. There is already a peaceful protest planned for the 24th in Madison

                                Kenny: Ok Vic, I'm ready for some girl on girl action.
                                Vic: No Kenny, that's girl versus girl.
                                Kenny: What's the difference?
                                Vic: Well, in one, one girl wins. In the other....
                                Kenny: Everyone wins?!?!
