They have no respect for anyone or anything. Yup, I've made it pretty clear that I don't take party sides and use my own logic/moral compass to determine where I stand.

He’s 60 and presumably with no underlying health conditions showing that this virus isn’t something to fear. Interesting perspective. I understand what you're saying, while at the same time I respectfully disagree. There are things I appreciate about Pence, but this is not one of them. To me, it shows a real lack of consideration towards the facility, as well as the mandates made from local and state governments. Trump said that he was going to allow the state Governors to lead and said they are competent, but then disregards their own requests. I find it akin to going to somebody's house as a guest and then intentionally leaving your shoes on in their house after they have made it clear they wish for you to take them off. But, it's true...I'm a soft-hearted and sensitive guy...so I am always trying to consider everybody else. It's my "filter" for how I see things in life. Both a blessing and a curse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it the categorical imperative or the principle of justness or the Golden Rule, many faiths see the moral rectitude of behaving in a way towards others that can be fairly reciprocated. Pence seems to have checked his moral principles at the doors of the White House. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes get very disappointed and saddened by the mindsets and actions of some other Christians...but then am reminded of how human I am and the "own planks I have in my eyes." Still, I will call out others of the same faith if I feel they are ready to hear it. Otherwise, it's just like talking to a brick wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only when a vaccine is approved and countries all have the vaccine will that happen. Until then I think many if not all countries will be very protective of foreigners. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I wonder if every country is going to implement the 14 day quarantine upon entering their country until a vaccine is found? How do you enforce that? Do they drive you from airport to hotel and leave you there? I rarely travel for more then 2 weeks at a time which would not allow me to travel until this is done away with. Who would ever travel with a 2 week quarantine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like Cuomo will address this tomorrow, at least he said he’s going to make the decision on schools. I would bet my house on it that schools will be closed the rest of this school year. Just too many things to go wrong over 4 weeks of in school learning left. How would kids social distance on buses, in hallways, etc... as far as businesses reopening May 15th I could see him letting certain regions of Upstate begin phase 1 of the federal reopening plan if numbers continue to stay low/or decline even further. I wouldn’t expect NYC/Long Island/ and WNY to begin phase 1 May 15th as there’s still too many cases and in WNY there hasn’t been any decline in cases/hospitalizations what so ever and Cuomo has even said we are the “hot spot” of Upstate. If I had to venture a guess the North Country and CNY would have the best chance at beginning phase 1 May 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, Trump and pence outlined this in their reopening plan last week or the week prior. Cuomo has been saying for the last week that in order for phase 1 to happen there needs to be a 14 day decline in hospitalizations for that region. Considering we just had 3-4 days of increasing hospitalizations in Erie county followed by a 1 person decline in hospitalizations yesterday were no where close.Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz stated in his press conference yesterday we weren’t even on day one of this yet. This is the reason Cuomo wants to open up the state in regions because in some regions (CNY/North Country) there has been a decline of hospitalizations but not here.
