A lot of uninformed people. You guys that want to stay home, please do. I’m enjoying life, free of the confines of my house. It’s nowhere near as bad as you’ve been led to believe.
Whats taking the Florida Lottery so long to open ? What are you’ll doing with the lottery money investing it?.
This is my opinion.and fear posting 2xs
Well let’s open 100% …Ok go to a bar there’s someone sitting next to you. Do they have the virus? Who knows. Have they been tested? Aww somebody just sneezed another one coughed. The alcohol still will kill the germs. NOT….a few days from when you left you don’t feel so good. But You’ve been to your parents house saw your grandmother. Or grandfather. A couples days later your grand mothers in the hospital. She can’t breath. They run test. Omg she had the coronavirus. But you start to feel better until you realize you made your grand parent sick. How do you feel now??? I’d rather sit at home drink a few drinks. Plus don’t have to worry about getting a DUI.Have a couple of friends over. Keep a safe distance but having fun. And know I did all I could so I wouldn’t infect my aging mother or grand parent.
Yes businesses suffered a lot. But I’d rather be healthy AND ALIVE. AND KNOW I DIDN’T BRING ANYTHING HOME TO A FAMILY MEMBER. than be the cause of someones death.
Hey Kate, you must be on government assistance. FYI most small businesses do not have the $$ for a rainy day especially since it was raining for over 2 months.
Zannie, the alcohol in bars does not kill the virus. If the alcohol were that strong, there’d be many many dead from alcohol poisoning. Isopropyl alcohol needs to be 70% or more to kill the virus. That’s 140 proof.
During Phase I there were many non compliant patrons and businesses.
Good for business yet concerned for the public.
I agree with Joe Carrier
WHEN IGNORANT PEOPLE SAY, run your business at 100% they are saying so what if you get sick coming into my establishment, that shows nothing but greed and selfishness. Have you ever heard of saving money and putting it in account for rainy days or COVID-19 DAYS. There will be plenty to come.
The Bars was the first to close and the last too open and I would like too know. Know what the real reason was. Alcohol kills the virus and a lot of the has outside seating, the barmaid needed their tips to meet their bills. But no let’s open the restaurants up so they can sell drinks but not the really smaller businesses . Is that fair? I know that when it comes to voting time… o-well. A lot of people struggle during this bad time of our now history both the business and the customers and not having a place to go fo a drink was a disappointment
Time to drink to the foam me boys!!
This doesn’t seem like a good idea. I’ve been tracking new cases every day. New cases aren’t declining. It seems to be a steady rate. I wish I could make a gambling site because I’m betting Pensacola cases are gonna skyrocket. Maybe not, though. It seems like most of Pensacola’s cases are in nursing homes. Even still, if I got the virus, I would feel real dumb. I’m still living like we’re at stage 0. Good luck, ya’ll!
steve, at least we try.
Should have never been closed. All the silly mask and gloves that people wear and they still gonna catch it. 99% of the ones wearing mask dont do so correctly and have cross contamination all over the place.
Alright time for some suds!!!
thank you for the laugh ….
I wonder if WalMart going to continue the 6a Tuesday opening
for Senior citizens? It is big help.
Thank you WalMart
Government control freaks. Let restaurant’s and bars run at a 100%. If you don’t like them running at full capacity, stay home. You people that are always whining about the way a business operates probably have never owned one. You’re not the one losing their livelihood. Maybe you could pitch in and pay their bills.
Seems too soon to open up our State further with daily deaths due to Corona Virus and many more people getting infected.
it’s milluh’ time!
Who at the bar is going to tell a drunk he can’t walk around
