Don't live there either but saw that. Struck me as a rather odd choice of places that could open. Salons? Body art?
The politics is all about blame. I see no blame other than the Chinese government who lied while thousands have died. Blame them along with WHO they gave them the cover.....lucky this is @Kasey thread is all I can say.....
My concern is Louisiana 40 miles west......
Just so you know.....I would be the one poking. Not the wussy
😂😂😂🍻
SC allowing some stuff to open up, too...
Trying to figure out how we would have prevented what is going on in the greater Augusta area. Asymptomatic individuals at large funerals in a rural part of GA. Perfect storm.
Impossible to scale up what was done in smaller countries - both in area and population - to fit the 100 different scenarios happening at once in the US.
Not claiming - looking back - that things couldn't have been done different. But in real time, we might could have done a lot worse as well. The best laid plans sometimes cause unintended consequences. If 20 asymptomatic people take a different route home a month ago, stop at two different places, go to an extra ballgame - then 10,000 more people are dead. Or 10,000 fewer people are dead. Butterfly effect.
Take NYC out of the mix and the rest of the country looks different, as well.
All that being said - I am concerned that too many people are way too hugged up to each other all of the sudden. Our Lowe's was PACKED Saturday. Buck wild.
Question - is California's numbers different from NYC because of testing? I think it's because they shut down sooner, right? Not because they performed 1 million tests in March.
And this has been a good discussion - no reason to shut this down.
Everyone here has good points. No one is 100% right or wrong. Most are bringing at least a 12% correct argument...😃
Yeah, if we could test on a large scale we wouldn't have to shutdown.
I agree 100%.
If we just had 500million tests right now, and 10 million technicians to run those tests, and 250 million antibody tests to follow-up with, we could go to school in about a week - well, a lot of us could.
What we can agree to disagree on is whether or not we should have had that in Feb or March or by now.
And how many people would have been saved had those marks been hit.
I can't speak to that with any certainty...
But I have stated my opinions on it. It just seems like a lot to ask.
And I am not a fan of the guy who runs those 5th grade peeing contests that come on TV every afternoon...
I have no affiliation with a "party" and think we have done much better in past elections on both sides...
Well, the longer you wait the more tests you need. If we have a good testing infrastructure in the beginning it reduces the amount of testing needed overall. You only have to test hotspots where it first appeared, which would help prevent spread elsewhere.
Maybe we get lucky and our testing capability gets high enough before this thing gets back out of hand. Just maybe...
Let's hope
Great points.
On your point about Lowes.....
I don't agree with the Michigan governor at all....but how do protesters justify showing up to protest without social distancing or masks.
There has to be some middle ground somewhere.
