So you're saying those places want to stay locked down? You sure you want to go down this path?

Of course they do. They are purposely destroying their economies at this point... then when Trump won't authorize the Fed to come in and bail them out they can say "See? Trump is incompetent".

The nursing homes will be going out of business anyway because they'll lose all their patients to death.
And I'm sure that hospital administrators would be more than inventive enough to find a "case" to keep those patients in the hospital until they are no longer a carrier/threat if they really wanted to.

I'll say they wont. I believe in worst populations, the 80+ crowd, this illness kills 20% of infected. I think maybe 12% of the age group below that.

Hasn’t he been one of the “more” open things up Governors?

He has. I looked at the referenced tattle tail website. It's not just Orwellian, it's fascist. If you walk into a restaurant and there is no sneeze guard over the salad bar, you can choose to leave and go elsewhere. Who in the hell thinks it is a good thing to be ENCOURAGING people to turn in restaurant owners for this kind of thing and bringing the jackbooted thugs down on their necks? We are not under martial law.

This needs to stop. Or maybe I should start taking pictures of people taking their masks off to eat and turn them in too. No. I'd rather join them.

There is a difference between rooting for the economy to fail versus recognizing that it is and assigning responsibility for that.

No one that I know of says that Trump is doing anything other than earnestly trying to improve the economy. We may disagree with how he is going about that. Plus, we can of course debate the effect of Trump's inaction on the virus early and what that has caused, in terms of worse rates and economic problems.

There is a large contingent of elected officials quite happy to use this to increase their power. They are on both sides and are the rule rather than the exception.

This is a political wet dream. Political power is routinely attained via fear and the jackpot has been hit.

You all spent 3 years hoping for a recession. If O'Biden wins in November I can guarantee you there will be people on your side praising CV-19

But they can’t. We have regular patients too. It’s not logistical, cost effective, or legal to do what you’re proposing

I think we are both on the same side of the fence just looking at the situation from two side, you from the practical realistic side of waht's in place, me from the side that it's a problem and needs an answer other than the one we have in place. Maybe as a result of this a new "tier" will be put in place that creates a landing spot for those at risk to others.....because this won't be the last time, and I suspect wasn't the first, just the first with this level of consequences.
The Covid death numbers (actually all the numbers) when we eliminate the institutions are not nearly as scary.
