No one has really answered my question about California.
And if you don't read through my post I'd prefer you not answer
I take that back. @GeorgiaGirl answered it. Sorry GA girl.
I was worried about COVID at first but am no longer. One of my best friends is an ER Doctor and his wife is an Emergency Medicine Doctor. They actually own their own urgent care clinic. Neither of them are worried about COVID, nor do they wear masks in public. Our County has allowed parents to decide whether or not their children will stay home and do virtual learning, or go to classroom setting. Both of their children will be attending school.
One of my wife’s friend’s from MCG is the lead lab scientist for a large hospital in Georgia. She told us as a fact that COVID cases And deaths are being over-reported and she has been pressured into tagging deaths as COVID. Is COVID real? Absolutely. Is COVID as bad as the media portrays it to be? Absolutely not.
His thread was brought to us for approval prior to him posting it. The Mods gave him approval based on what he proposed. He has every right to arbiter what rules he wants to follow with Mod approval and guidance.
@YaleDawg , maybe I should be more specific. I live in Nicaragua. Airport has been closed but is being reopened. I really, really need to go to the US for a few days. Any arrivals back here must present a Real Time PCR test from no more than 72 hrs.. What I'm wondering is if that is even possible.
It's definitely possible, but you'd have to find a testing location that has that fast of a turnaround.
Living in a state where WWE, HD, Lowes and take-out is an essential business I am saying there was no lock-down. As Fauci said US SD - 50%, EU and others SD=90%. The last time I have had take-out was March 17th Chick-Fil-A and dine-in 3/16.
Maybe an example would be with a house fire, if you wait until the whole block is ablaze it will take longer to put out, if you wait until half the county is on fire it becomes unstoppable.
I'm hearing the exact same thing.......my small men's group got together this morning and three are physicians......one is actually head of acute care and head trauma surgeon at one of the Dallas area hospitals and one is in administration for a big hospital chain..... all three agreed that this is so incredibly blown out of proportion and that they can't believe the response.
Their kids will be in school......and they said there is absolutely nothing that can be done in this country to stop the spread of the virus.
You have done your part......and I couldn't be more grateful for all the work you have done for Dawgnation. It is incredibly time consuming.
But the reality is......it is absolutely impossible to quarantine this country for any length of time that would be beneficial to slow the virus.
And anyone that thinks that is possible is kidding themselves.
Cancelling football games, closing bars, limiting travel and every thing else that is being done.....is nothing more than window dressing. Either helping politicians cover their ass or help them feel like they are doing something.
The virus is here and it is not going anywhere until it does.
I have no issue with your numbers.....whether or not they prove correct.....time will tell....
Anyone that thinks that closing California, Closing bars, cancelling fall sports, keeping kids home and all the other crazy ideas..... will stop this thing.....is living in LaLa land.
Yes...I believe it can be slowed down by doing that... but enough of America will be out and about to keep it going.....and when things open up again......BOOM ......virus is off and running.....AGAIN.
And we just destroyed financial lives and canceled sports and other activities for absolutely nothing.
I'm sure the California governor is a super nice guy and a great father......but I'm sorry..... he doesn't have any common sense.
There are way too many people that think that they are doing these things unless.........
South-metro Atlanta area...my brother started having symptoms last Monday, couldn't get scheduled for a test until last Thursday, and still hasn't received his results. So he's currently on his 9th day waiting to find out if he is positive.
FWIW, he's just felt like he has a bad cold the whole time (in his mid 20's)
New data from a vaccine trial.
Wow is all I can say
