    I have deliberately not made any comments about Celadon because, to be honest, their management was lower than a human dingleberry. Their demise was not brought on by the loss of accounts or business. They went under primarily because their high ranking company officers were stealing from the company. Entirely different dynamic.

    Truckers risking it all for 42 cpm. Trucking companies can careless about thier drivers health and safety. Truckers need to shut it down immediately! Go home take care of your family why risk your health for a selfish company and citizens of America who disrespect what you do for them haven't yall had enough of thier BS.

    So are you still driving, or have you shut it down?

    I am not risking my health any more on the truck than I would at home, so what is the difference?

    Just based on my instinct I tend to agree. I still have not seen anything yet to justify all these reactions that to be honest are unprecedented. I have never seen a situation where local and state governments have forced businesses to close on this large a scale. I also don't agree with those that say it's nothing much more than the common cold. People have died and will continue to do so. I also have said many times in these Covid-19 threads that the flu and other flu-like illnesses have killed hundreds of thousands and are going to continue to do so. I took note that Tom Hanks and his wife have recovered and most likely will return home as soon as they can get in. I am also taking note more are getting over this. My cousin is over hers.

    I also have noticed an interesting dynamic develop over this past week. Much like the global warming/climate change debate, we are seeing dueling "experts" give their opinions. I could not help but laugh at how Dr. Drew Pinsky AND Dr Mehmet Cengiz Öz (DR Oz) have been somewhat critical of Dr Fauci. This is what I am saying, it's confusing and devolves into an argument of what "expert" do you believe? I just have one question. How many that have died in the US for 100% sure have died from this illness and not a simple case of the flu? I no longer trust my Government in regard to Covid-19, I no longer trust our so-called "experts" in these fields (because they are giving conflicting opinions) and I for dang sure don't trust China, Iran and for that matter Italy.

    This is particularly upsetting to me because I am very susceptible to having this dang virus kill me. I want answers and dang it, there are none forthcoming. All I hear is panic and doubletalk.
