      The problem will be capacity. Before all this came down there were plenty of places were they needed to divert to other facilities when they hit capacity. Add to that if you have people with Flu they are at higher risk to get anything else.

And the White House will definitely be going this route when the campaign starts to move into full swing. By the fall, the right wing will be severely downplaying this and my guess is the average trump supporter will believe it when trump starts saying "we looked more closely at the numbers and it appears that far fewer actually died from coronavirus than originally stated." I look for trump to start quoting numbers that are shrinking. And for his dupes and rubes to believe those numbers and to spread the lies far and wide. As always, the question is whether or not enough of the 60% will turn out to vote, and whether or not enough of their votes will be counted in the right places.
      Its going to be like in all those scary So American countries or the eastern block where people disappear but no one knows where?

        Oh I agree with you on that. I'm one of them. My views on gun ownership, gun control and the second amendment have undergone a huge shift over the last 15-20 years, but that doesn't mean I got rid of everything.

          For the most part my State is full of people who are all about flattening the curve and doing the right thing. But.... not my town*. I went for a 2.5 mile walk tonight. In the first .5 mile- a family has invited over 2 diff families- the kids are playing tackle football ( I had to dodge them as they practically ran me over in the street), the adults are all in a clump laughing and backslapping each other. There is a family with cars (from 3 diff states) up and down the street having a BBQ with the kids all playing tag and the adults hanging out together in tight clumps and another house on the other side with a ton of kids, cars parked over the sidewalk so I had to walk out in the street. FML Thankful I am not shopping at the market down the street.
          *Our County has the highest number of cases, beating the next highest county by 3k

            The thing is, most of them deep down are cowards. Sure, they're tough in a group, where you got five of them with clubs kicking and stomping some poor guy on the ground. But the first time they see the guy next to them take one in the melon, suddenly, their militia cosplay ain't quite as much fun

            Read today someplace, since the word came out that some 70 of those out in the open up Wisconsin protests have tested positive, there hasn't been a whole lot of open up Wisconsin protesting.

              Other Coronaviruses live longer in dry cool environments, so it seems reasonable that it will spread faster when it can remain viable longer in the air in a subway car or on a doorknob, elevator button, etc. Just because it’s spreading now doesn’t mean conditions won’t get more favorable. That’s why they are expecting a spike in the fall/winter. Also possible school outbreaks and people will be completely over social distancing by then.

                  One of the things I've been really feeling since stay home order started was the lack of physical touch. Today just amplified it. I was with my adopted Mama for about 10 minutes today and I stood a few feet away from her, knowing I couldn't hug her. I feel the intent and warmth of air hugs, but right now, I just want someone to hold me so tight all my broken pieces will stick back together.

                      You have to quarantine in state before you can rent, so basically lodging is only available to people that own property in Maine right now.

                        So unlike the flu, the seasons will be “bad” and “terrible.” Lovely.

                            We are being groomed for a “price of doing business “ killing season. Sad. Especially when it’s our children or our elderly who are usually the most innocent in infection reception .

                                We already have sheriffs all over the place who openly are defying orders to enforce stay-at-home measures, and I have lost count of the number who say they won't enforce firearm safety laws and ordinances they don't agree with. I don't wonder if a great number of people in law enforcement would side with a rebellion, I fully believe it.
                                Maybe the local sheriffs, who probably know most of these people, aren't interested in creating a shoot out situation where one would not otherwise exist.

                                There was an incident 35-40 years ago that is still infamous in North Dakota, but probably unknown elsewhere. A decorated WWII veteran in his 60's, who was also a farmer, decided the US government no longer had the right to insist he pay taxes, so he stopped. He would get together with his wife, his kids, and a handful of other local friends, they'd bring all of their guns and they'd meet in a local veterinarian's office, talk about how they are all sovereign citizens, then go to Sunday brunch and go home. For years they bothered no one.

                                The feds prosecuted this farmer for not filing a tax return and he went to jail for a few months. Then, when he got out, he resumed his old ways.

                                The feds decided it was time to bring him in on a parole violation, and they decided to arrest him during one of the "meetings," when all of his armed friends and family members were there. The local police and sheriff were aghast, and told the feds that if they waited one day, they could walk into the local cafe and arrest this guy without incident, and without the guy having any guns or armed friends around.

                                Of course, the feds have never met a dik measuring contest that they didn't like, so they ignored the "local yokel" advice. End result? Bunch of dead and wounded law enforcement officers. Because the guy didn't want to file his tax return.

                                But yeah, I get it. You want these people gunned down because you disagree with their politics and you just don't like them. By all means, lets provoke more shoot outs. After all, they are insisting that bars and restaurants re-open. A shoot out seems a small price to pay to put that rebellion down.
                                That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
