Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020

Gottlieb on CBS just said he thinks December could very well be our worst month. Imagine that. As bad as it was in April or May, as bad as it got in Wisconsin the last two months, or as bad as it is in the Dakotas right now, it could be worse in a month. Maybe if enough people are dying they will forget they are about to have an election stolen from them.

We can thank the top covidiot for a lot of the cases in Maine. Bars open Monday, that should turn out well. It’s hard to understand why the northeastern states didn’t have a plan for the fall and winter. It’s like all of our leaders are completely clueless.

Mills changed her mind on that
 
We should be a mess in a couple of weeks. Lots of whiny parents who insisted that Halloween needed to happen. Watching social media- All sorts of gadgets that gave out candy- most of them in ways that would contaminate. We live on a hill in a development . We have a couple of folks that insist life neeeeeeeds to be normal for the kids. Their lights were on for the Halloween. The rest of the neighborhood could have passed muster for an air raid.

But there are plenty of people posting the kids- candy on the floor with hours of trading while the parents are having a beer. Great job.

Mass has started to release the stats on clusters in an attempt to wake people up. Family/small group parties and gatherings lead the way by far. And then we have the Church in Fitchburg that is up over 200 cases and the hockey rinks. Like duh. They interviewed one of the kids- young, under 13, who was aggravated they were shutting because it sucks and we should be able to play. If my kid said that no way I would consent to let that air. They would have to check with the guardian ad litum because I would have attempted to kill the kid myself. My town is proudly stupid. If my friends who work at the hospitals didn't have to get exposed I would say load them in a small area and hope they catch it all at once.... Oh, wait.... we are having a town meeting- quorum >100 in an enclosed auditorium when we are in the red category. Whee

You sound more dingy by the day.
 
I’ll bet you’ve heard about rising cases.

We know covid, like most infections, is dangerous in nursing homes. 70% of the deaths have been there, in 1% of the population.

But what about the other 99% in the general population?

How many of those cases result in deaths? See below.

And you have #AdultChildren begging to be locked down.
 
Baker, here in MA, again did the right thing:
  • Re-instated shelter in place advisories, but more targeted hours. 10 PM to 5:30 AM.
  • Reduced the limit on private gatherings from 25 to 10. This is virtually impossible to enforce, but will make many people reconsider Holiday plans, which is the goal. It isn't about elimination, it's about reduction. Even if a lot of people (aka a$$holes) ignore this, many of us won't and that's a good thing.
  • No more table service at restaurants after 9:30 PM (but take-out ok).
  • Liquor stores must close at 9:30 PM. Not sure I get this one, but whatevs. I'm not sure about convenience stores that sell booze, or liquor stores that are also convenience stores. Maybe it's just "no alcohol sales after 9:30"?
  • Face coverings required in all public spaces whether you can remain distant or not (previously it was only if social distancing wasn't possible).
Honestly, these seem eminently reasonable. Thanks to the President and his throng of morons, we're going to have issues through next summer. But steps like these go a long way to help keep people safe.

Did you listen to the press conference? I thought it was completely insane. I hope those steps slow things down but to me they don’t seem like nearly enough. How can you say schools and restaurants don’t cause virus to spread when you have no clue where half the people contracted the virus?
 
I didn't listen, I read recaps after, so I don't know the tenor of the PC.

We have very robust contact tracing here in MA. Unfortunately, even with that level of follow-up, there's so much COVID around that it's almost endemic. It does seem that most confirmed transmission vectors are through private gatherings and not from restaurants or schools. I think that seems nuts too, but if we're going with the data, the data says that - right now, in Massachusetts anyway - the restaurants aren't the worst offenders.

We're also a few weeks from Thanksgiving and I think it makes sense to implement these restrictions now to give people a chance to figure out their plans. If they're not going to be compliant there isn't much to be done, but for those of us rational folks, this gives us a chance to make plans safely.
 
Good

I hope we all start to take a GOP governor's* lead. Ballsy decision but 100% the right one.



*I'm hoping my mind rematerializes here soon.

Baker isn't up for re-election and has been pretty openly anti-Trump from the beginning. They aren't friends and Baker has not much to lose here. "True Conservatives" already hate him.
 
People are naturally taking it poorly. I'm hoping for the time when they used to limit the amount of people in the grocery stores. And I'm dealing with family that wants to get together for Thanks giving. Seven people total, but I still don't want it to happen.

Not that article comment sections are an indication of anything other than what absolute morons think, but the two articles I read had... yikes.

About 2 months ago I gave up. We're stuck with this until we have a vaccine fully distributed, so hopefully next summer some time. We had a chance to beat this. And we decided, collectively, not to. America was once at the forefront of science, technology and business. And now?

Yeah any reasonable person can read these bullet points and know that they will do nothing to stop the spread of a virus. Viruses don't go away or "slow down" because of any of those measures.

You have to be a complete moron to believe any of this garbage.

He is also positioning himself for the Return To Sanity lane if the GOP totally implodes. Like Flake, Romney, and the Lincoln Project.

We had a chance to beat this? Care to elaborate?

Viruses don't disappear because of any of the measures that have been proposed or that were actually put in place.

We still are. It's not like anybody else has figured it out.

This is not "America is bad at science." It is "this is a hard problem, and in the meantime, while we wait, conservatives are childish lackwits whose idea of R&D is throw the Jew down the well."
