Let me decide my own risk, you do you.

Except, well, it's not just your risk. I will continue to do me, thank you.

I just want to buy a beer at a sporting event, nothing better.

The data is flawed, but yeah, keep on doing you.

It is flawed. But, we don't know which way or how much. I sincerely do hope you get back to your regular job, soon.

If you have a brain you know which way it is flawed.

If you have a brain you know which way it is flawed.

If you have a brain, you know that there is a difference in staying home.

And we did. Time to open up

UTC just announced that all away athletic competitions must be within 150 miles of campus and teams must travel to and return from the competition on the same day. This is for all sports in fall 2020 and spring 2021.

Looks like this would only affect football, although I’m not sure they travel the day before. Obviously if this type policy starts taking off UT would have to make some serious scheduling adjustments.

Seems like an arbitrary number of miles to pick. So going 150 miles is safe, but 151+ miles is not? Is UTC just wanting to eliminate air travel?

That is what I am thinking.

Yup, the stay home was to help Drs and hospitals not get over loaded. So other than NY and maybe a few in LA, there is no need for a total lockdown of the country. Most adults with common sense can mitigate their own risk, I don’t need big .gov being my freaking nannie.

We’re not just going to open back up. It’s not as simple as waving a wand. People will likely continue to self-isolate and socially distance even if the government says “we’re opened up now.” This is going to be a slow, incremental process.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Your wife's job is essential as it gets. How is opening back up going to help her stay employed? More traffic accidents?

I would say opening things back up would allow people to have their surgeries, which doctors are not allowed to perform at the moment. She doesn't work in the ER but the OR. People need to have their surgeries, and she needs to be there to help them.

I think that's the point. You open stuff back up throughout May (presumably) with some limitations and restrictions, and you hope that the past month of warnings has gotten through to people to a degree that they continue being cautious on their own without needing the government to enforce things. Even with things opening back up, I think many people will still be really cautious and avoid public places for a while. But it will get the economy moving forward again. Then if the gradual re-opening process doesn't result in a surge of new infections, you keep easing restrictions until we're fully reopened by summer.

Absolutely. Keep social distancing for a while if it helps, but let us go back to work. People are working every day in manufacturing and there aren't breakouts of co-vid happening all over the country. Most states have very few cases at all.

common sense. We don't need a nanny in big gov. That's the left's dream, but we don't want it.

Highly doubtful

Based upon the flawed data?

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

For anyone doubting me I told you this thing escaped from the virology lab in Wuhan.

 

[volatil]

Today was the day predicted as “the peak”. We (hospital) have the lowest number of confirmed cases admitted in past few weeks currently. Way down.

Of course there will be different peaks for different regions. We in Georgia are looking at early May for the peak.

Flawed as in much lower death rates than what is reported.

Absolutely not a doubt in my mind

This is a valid point. Not sure where the projections are re: the number of beds/ventilators needed. Most states appear pretty safe as far as that goes. Unless we start to see data (that might be flawed) that the trends are ticking up. I do hope people can get back to work soon. I also hope that people are smart about it, but many probably won't be.

 

[drvenner]

I do think hospitals are inflating some of these to get more money. I don't know how widespread it is and there are also people who have died of it who were never tested and won't be tested.

Big .gov is trying to open everything back up and getting backlash from individual states.
