GolfSpy_BNG Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 ... Fwiw, I think the entire country should have been put on lockdown which is the only way to stop the spread and flatten the curve. Obviously small rural towns unaffected by the virus could work around this but all the cities of any size should have been doing this all along. It is mind boggling that people are still going to beaches where crowds are incubating the virus then spreading it all over the country when these people go back home, especially those showing no symptoms but spreading the virus. ...I went out for the first time in the Chicago suburbs yesterday to stock up with some produce and other food at Whole Foods and wore surgical gloves, kept my distance and touched nothing I did not need to touch and threw the gloves out when I got home. Interestingly about 10 people wore masks which I would have if I owned one, an about 10 others wore gloves. But by and large most people acted like there was nothing different going on, crowding together and not keeping 6 feet spacing, touching their faces and many surfaces. People ... sigh. I hope everyone here is using common sense and staying safe. Small rural towns are about to get a rude awakening as well. Today we had our first official case in a town of about 5,000. Who knows how many people they had contact with before feeling bad enough to go to the hospital. Nobody really takes any precautions in these small towns because “nothing ever happens there!”My boss may actually stay home now.

yungkory Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Our mayor just announced that Honolulu is now shelter in place effective immediately starting tomorrow. Governor went on the news yesterday to announce that anyone entering the state would be forced to quarantine beginning Thursday (to allow folks to hopefully cancel their trips). This should've been done a while ago but every one kept pretending it wasn't a thing. So I likely played my last round today with @mr.hicksta since he's headed to California, and my last round for the foreseeable future as this is supposed to last until 4/30 . The world is f****** weird right now, pardon my French, but we're gonna make it! Wash your hands, use common sense, and stop being a contributing member of society in this case .

toehold57 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 It could also be that many modern TV's are "smart" and could potentially provide a backdoor into a computer if they are connect to your wifi.If it’s a smart TV, yes. There could be an attack vector. If its normal, non-smart TV that would mean no local network access. No network port, no WiFi. I suppose it’s possible to hack in though the HDMI port but given that the vast majority of TV’s are used as TV’s, it’s unlikely someone would try that route. Too many variables to account for.Possible though.Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GolfSpy Barbajo Posted March 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2020 Folks - this isn't a request. Politics has no place in this golf forum. These are trying, politically charged times for all of us. MyGolfSpy doesn't care about your politics, and we expect you to respect that and leave them at the door. Let's use this thread for its intended purpose - to share our experiences, thoughts and ideas as we all cope with something I'd say nearly all of us have never seen in our lifetime. I get that it's hard to keep your politics out of it, but we're making it easy. Don't do it. There. It's that simple. The little white ball doesn't give a flying f**k who you voted for, what you think the virus should be called or who you think has or hasn't done what. Am I being clear enough?
