First time in months going through this thread. I will say it is refreshing to have a dialogue that is data or science centric. Facts as opposed to politicized untruths are the starting point for appropriately dealing with the virus. Countries that are doing well are data, testing, tracking, and preventive measure driven. These steps are the best way to have the most “normal” possible humanitarian and economic outcomes until better treatments or vaccines occur.
Dr. Kent Sepkowitz summed up why the reopening so fast has been such a problem in ways that I haven’t been able to say as well, "The Covid-19 infection rate in the US is increasing at warp speed, wasting the weeks of tedious quarantine. It’s like an athlete, after months of grueling rehab from an injury, returning too soon and ending up back at square one after re-injuring the same bone or joint."
If Ron Courson did this to the UGA athletes repeatedly, we would all be howling in frustration and asking for him to be fired. Just saying…
Putting things into perspective, in May Florida had just over 22k cases. In the last 3 days cases were just over 23k! Someone referred to our Governor as Ron DeSasterous yesterday.
I’m curious to know what kind of effect the shelter-in-place periods have had on the country’s mental health system long term. Speaking from experience, with a husband in banking working around the clock and on weekends for 8 weeks handling the PPP loans it was extremely tough having a baby and being completely isolated from friends and family.
I would argue that it wasn't the SHOULD we "reopen" it was the HOW we reopened.
If the question was SHOULD, then the answer now would be to lock erbody back up for a few months...
We gotta live, just live SMARTER.
Context.
You can have a 55yo that looks 85. And then you can have Herschel.
It's just raw stats. The majority of people that fell ill and died were over 55. But that doesn't necessarily mean that everyone over 55 is in danger.
I'm pretty sure the country's mental health is out of control.
I heard someone compare it to the last few days of school. Everyone took their tests, and there's nothing to do. And now playing Alice Cooper and telling the hall monitor to F off.
I saw people blaming the governor. But I am sure they had guidelines for bars that were broken and he definitely didn't force people to go to bars, large gatherings, and protests. There should be some personal accountability.
And maybe the governor shouldn’t have so proudly taken a victory lap after lap three
Again lets always find a way to blame someone else for not taking personal accountability. There will always be a party of blame. Please give me the name of one politician that has never taken a victory lap. Nothing wrong with re-opening , cant stay sheltered forever and you will never convince me of that and not saying either of us is wrong. But again please show the link where the Governor instructed people to go into large crowds in a bar and go to protests etc. I really don't see that in the re-opening guidelines. I am not one to need to be told by some government official exactly what I need to do. I know if I want to be perfectly safe I don't go into a large crowd especially without a mask.
The country’s mental health is not out of control. The mental health of those who have become indoctrinated by opinion news is out of control and especially those who succumb to the thought that compromise is wrong and that their particular news network is gospel.
My apologies Mrs. DeSantis
I am assuming that based on your comments regarding personal responsibility that either you have not been out since March or if you had to you you wear a mask on each and every occasion. If that is the case why are you not mad at the 9,000 per day who risk your / your parents life by not similarly being responsible.
BTW Isn't the first part of Governor Govern. You are saying that he is not responsible when he allows people to go to bars then claims it isn't his responsibility. After all it's not his job to protect people from themselves AND OTHERS!
Agree 100%. I think that was the point of the injured player coming back to quickly. Too many just decided to ignore the recommendations and reinjury occurred. I feel like all my time in quarantine was for waste and I'm a bit angry about that.
Fleming, can I ask a serious question? How does one do that in an effective way? I think this is the question that often separates the left and the right and not that either side is correct. I think this is the crux of the challenge, how does one do this in a way that does not infringe on personal liberties, but is effective enough to be successful.
