Stories like this give me hope that we’re moving past mass hysteria and coming back into the age of logic, reason, and common sense.

I'd put money on it that a lot of the government officials who have ordered gyms to shutdown are themselves fatties- who are probably also in denial that their own muffin-topping, "I have curves," "a little meat on the bones," "my body type," or spilling over the armrest when they're flying coach, is somehow healthy.
It's just a hunch (and a lot of bias too). I've been in denial before too but that doesn't change what is or isn't overweight.
I'm glad to see this topic bubbling up in the media, even if it's bubbling very slowly.

Hawaii doesn't have shit except incompetent state and county governments scared of their own shadows.
Here is the latest on COVID as of today.
This is from the Lt. Governor. They just reimpose the interisland 14-day quarantine until at least August 31st because of our "exceptionally high raise in the number of COVID patients". They are also talking about the continuing the state quarantine from elsewhere after August 31st not because they are afraid tourist will bring in more COVID, but because they don't want more interaction between locals at work. So basically they don't want people working just drawing government money that doesn't exist as we approach 50% unemployment in the state. Of course they are all Dems looking for more federal money to bail them out since the state tax revenue has gone to basically $0.
Fucking idiots.
Why not? They've been doing it with guns for years; why should COVID be any different? </SARCASM>

As on overweight diabetic, I couldn’t agree more let’s close every place that will help me, and encourage those like me (but with no. Common sense), to sit on their asses and eat junk food paid for with “ free gubmint money”

âDespairâ spreading throughout the Military Sealift Command fleet over âdraconianâ COVID-19 restrictions, unions warn
Roughly 5,000 mariners have been ordered to not leave their U.S. Military Sealift Command ships for nearly five months under the "Gangways Up" order.

Poor guys but they're also probably making serious bank in OT and various other pays. The MSC life as a CIVMAR is an incredibly good deal as long as you can handle being at sea for 4 to 6 months at a time. That being said, there's got to be a better solution than confining our Sailors and civilian mariners to their respective ships for the duration of the pandemic.
Would also love some insight into your apparent obsession with this topic. Don't you have a ground job to do or some students to teach? Do you really think a VT instructor randomly posting on the Internet is going to somehow solve all the world's problems and refute the medical professionals you apparently disagree with?
You're literally taking over this entire thread to a point that's beginning to get quite weird.

Article has sources quoted as saying they've gone to arbitration with the unions.
I would expect some policy modifications to follow shortly.
Probably in the way of providing a more sustainable relief process, shore based support to mitigate quality of life impacts of COVID mitigations.
I can certainly understand why the restrictive measures were implemented at the outset.
MSC assets are vital to Fleet operations. Normal ops would grind to a halt without the oilers, and sustained combat ops isn't possible without their other resupply assets.
But it's certainly not unusual for the Navy to implement a knee jerk "good enough" solution and forget to fix it to something longer term down the track until someone reminds them it's not a permanent solution.
That said, may be also highlighting some holes within MSC CIVMAR work force sustainability - whether it's manning levels, hiring policies, etc. that may be needed to improve conditions within MSC.
Good to see their union finally doing its job. I hope they get a ton of overtime and penalty pay.
So the guy with 7,500 posts is telling the guy with 1,100 posts he’s posting too much? Got it.
So it’s okay for you to talk about IT and computer stuff for people transitioning out? And try to chime in on all the transition threads? And talk about all your selres experience at the NOSC? But I post too much about covid. Got it.
As an airline pilot, covid is sort of near and dear to my heart. And since being a VT IP isn’t my full-time job...the answer to your question would be no. Is that what happened with you, your VT IPs spent too much time on forums and not enough time teaching you the skills to succeed at the RAG? Just interesting how that was your first thought; that I wasn’t devoting enough time to them.
I really just want all the coronabros to see how right their predictions ended up being (that was sarcasm by the way).

What is a coronabro?
From Urban Dictionary:
--------------------------------------
Corona Bro
Guys on twitter telling everyone to stay at home and fear the virus even though they are still going off of outdated data. These guys typically seem to root for the virus when arguing with people that want to get back to their livelihood.
This corona bro started spamming my Twitter when I declared we should start opening businesses with Fauci quotes from one month ago. When I said these people need jobs to survive and presented him with accurate data, he called me a “grandma killer”.
