Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.
My dad is a typical Boomer, but he brought up that it is time for us to make a massive push to electric vehicles. My wife and I are planning on trading in our cars for electric vehicles. At the very least, I think I am done with ever buying combustion engines going forward.

Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.
Honestly, I was talking to my dad about this. The shutdown has shown a light on both how much damage we are doing with our cars, and how quickly it can come back.

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.I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.
I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

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.

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.”Comment

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

Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.
What’s going to complicate things for some folks is childcare. If non-essential businesses start reopening AND schools are still closed what are people going to do? 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.

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

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.Last edited by PeoplesChampGB; 04-21-2020, 06:20 PM.NFL- Green Bay Packers

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.

Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.
There's been government overreach and systematic oppression for 200 years depending on who you've been. Its cute people are finally coming to that realization now since their supposed freedom is threatened, but a lot of them haven't cared about anybody but themselves while thumbing their nose at everyone else.
I lowkey find it humorous to see it play it out, TBH.#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.
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."Last edited by PeoplesChampGB; 04-21-2020, 05:54 PM.NFL- Green Bay Packers
