Limited to 50% capicity down here. Every big box store has a person keeping track of who enters and leaves so nothing is packed out. Still we are having way more cases then early on.
THE DEATH RATE IS WHAT IS HARMING THE ECONOMY!
We obviously will not see eye to eye on this and only be able to look back and evaluate what the problem is and how hopefully it was solved. FWIW Fauci said today that the difference is that Europe shut down 95% of the economy and got ahead of the virus but US even in "lock-down" only shut down at most 50% and are now paying for it. Let's resume this in 12 months as we look forward to 2021. In the meantime I will stick to the numbers and TRY to avoid comment (maybe 🤣)
Go Dawgs!
For once, I agree with Fauci. We don’t live in a society that would allow a complete shutdown. A President should not have those kinds of powers, because who is to say when it wouldn’t be abused. The decisions were properly and legally left up the States, but we’ll never get all 50 states to agree. It’s the price of or freedoms. If we ever have a President try to order the entire country on lockdown for an extended period then they will need a much larger force than the secret service to protect the WH.
Have a safe weekend Denmen.
We lost that too remember 🤣. To the victor the spoils. Have (safe) fun.
Again, just looking for an answer, which you did not provide again.
So I will kindly ask again, and ask everyone - would love to hear from several of you.
When do we move on? Are you convinced that Europe doesn't flair back up as soon as they start living again? I am not - AT ALL.
if there is no vaccine, are masks the new reality - forever? Do we social distance forever? No concerts? No 93K in Sanford? No crowds, ever?
Seriously, when are you willing to move on?
Or, are there those who say that life in America pre March 2020 is gone forever? Because it sounds like there are those on this board who think that is the logical route sans vaccine...
And if the government tells us our former way of life is gone, the tiny little protests we have seen recently will look like kindergarten hissy fit in comparison...
People keep talking about others, “living in fear” when the death rate is low. The problem is the numbers/ statistics are all suspect. We’ve been gathering data for about four months and we’ve had distortions and false information mixed with science. Most of us non-medical types don’t know who to believe. We have to be cautious or We play Russian roulette—doesn’t seem to be an in between.
There is nothing wrong with wearing masks. I hate them—after an hour I’m ready to rip them off. But I know they protect others, so I will wear them as long as necessary to get past the reality and risk of this virus—and the hysteria. Just no more lockdowns, please.
I’m having all the symptoms. I get my test tomorrow. Temp 100-101. Chest a little tight. Pulse oximeter still says 95-97% sat on room air. HR 80bpm. Don’t have batteries for BP cuff. Resting some. Can’t sleep though. Trying to exercise at home to fight this virus. Kind of scared. I have no family out here since moving to Cali/Bay Area in 2016i. Going to write my folks a letter if my 02 sat reaches 80 and off to the hospital from there.
started feeling this way Wednesday night. Went fishing off a dock Sunday. Lots of guys with No mask out there. I had one on though. Probably traveled in the air. This sucks.
claiming I will be healed in Jesus name.
Well it’s happening here in Miami. A second shut down is upon us. Just announced tonight there will be a 10 pm indefinite curfew and openings have been rolled back. Casinos, gentlemens clubs, movie theaters , arcades and more are now closed. Restaurants and gyms will most likely be next. Entire service industry is taking a huge hit as servers , Bartenders and others in hospitality only go in to work for 3-4 hours for their night shift and walk with $30-$50 MAYBE due to the curfew. Something has to change no one can live off this especially in Miami.
Miami-Dade and Broward being the democratic prominence of the state and the hardest hit areas will be the first to go against the grain of DeSantis and Trumps continuance to keep opening up. It’s a mess.
I have already moved on. I have adapted my life to the new reality by not going out other than to exercise daily and go to the store when necessary. We bought an additional refrigerator very early on so that my wife can shop one day per week rather than me go to the store 3-5 times a week. I (we) will continue to adapt as that reality changes. For example Jacksonville has instituted a mandatory mask policy so we are contemplating driving to a Publix there to do our shopping. Even though the infection rate there is higher than Nassau county the fact that masks are required may make it safer than the Publix locally.
If Drive-in movie theaters make a resurgence we would go there. In the fall we will likely go to a restaurant in off-peak hours when the temperature makes outdoor dining bearable. We will make our trip to Tampa and go to the Casino when cases drop below 100 in Hillsborough County. Vacation will be driving instead of flying and cruises are something that we will only do when US daily cases fall to 5k per day.
The country as a whole will only "move on" when the vast majority accept the new reality and look forward instead of keep looking back. That will require leadership in all levels of government.
So Texas implements mandatory mask statewide as of today. To avoid being labelled a naysayer next week I will be watching and expecting a decline in cases but not next week. My thoughts are:
Cases - will begin to decline July 20th
Hospitalization - continue to increase until begin to decline August 1st
Deaths - continue to increase until begin to decline August 11th.
All data based on 7 day moving average.
Yeah, you got to Love how all their unnamed sources know more than the actual people involved.
By the time it is under "control" there won't be anything to come visit.
Reminds me of years ago I was a Manager with AT&T and during a strike I heard the Union president telling the picketers they were getting $10 for groceries that week but "WE" can hold out forever. I talked to some of the members later and they didn't know he was being paid by the Union and their dues and of course could hold out forever.
