Now we have the whole go to school thing. Gosh people are stupid. This person posted an article about Germans going back to school and why can't we do this? They did it just fine. Yup. They did. Trying to explain to this lady that it would cost people thousands out of pocket to be screened for C19 because insurance doesn't cover repetitive screening and the Feds won't fund. Not to mention there is a shortage of test stuff currently and there are not enough teachers or space to be able to decrease class sizes and a whole lot of logistical stuff.

People just blindly believe without ever thinking about the logistics and finances.

^ speaking of blindly believing. #TeamHysteria^

Remember when we were just going to flatten the curve. Now it is healthy people repetitively testing for a Corona Virus?

Sounds like socialism. We can't have that, it's bad and un-American.

my employer has tested me three times, based on a plan driven by science (our senior management team members are all MDs and PhDs) and not hysteria

we are also running all the tests for UMaine’s reopening plan.

This is why we can't expect the general public to "do the right thing". People consistently lie about their condition, leading to massive infections of others- seen this happen for many years on cruise ships. Someone with norovirus gets on the ship, isn't careful, and before you know it, there's a huge oubtreak.

CAN NOT RELY on people doing the right thing. Nor can we rely in businesses doing the right thing- how many more times do we have to see companies finally have to close down due to the number of sick and dying? We remember Smithfield - here's a clothing company in California with the exact same thing https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/13/s...ronavirus.html - we know the playbook, and yet they don't do it.

We have science around masks and spreading, and then we have idiots who not only go against that, argue against even doing it. In spite of the actual facts that more and more people are getting infected and more and more people are dying.

This is why rules have to be put into place.

Read the comments...lots of people telling stories of people they know and how it affected them after they "recovered". Lots of good info here.

wait, but jeb says this is a hoax and that's just hysteria... how can it be true?

Why can't we just gather all of these people in one place, and keep them from people who don't want to get sick, or don't have the means to do anything about it? One of the worst impacted groups are poor migrant workers, particularly Hispanics. Instead of doing things to protect them, they just lose their jobs if they don't come to work sick. Some are hired illegally by r donating companies, and are threatened with forced deportation if they complain. In the end, we get an entire factory sick and forced to closed down because they have run out of potential workers.

The way we treat our poor and most vulnerable part of our society is really coming out in, and it's sad that nobody cares. I don't need to remind anyone about the "family values" that r's pretend to have.

This is what really concerns me. Given the scale of infection we could have tens or hundreds of thousands of people who long term are unable to work which is the last thing our economy needs. Not to mention the unnecessary human suffering.

I'm not sure something has ever irritated me more than this. This is something that was relatively straightforward to deal with, and honestly shouldn't have been that big of deal, and Trump has ****** it up beyond belief. He's even managed to turn it into a left-right issue which it never should have been.
 
It is amazing how many people in the U.S.and indeed the world are participating in this medical hoax just to own conservatives.
if only we could get this type of participation in elections...

I hear some fake news this morning that Miami Dade's ICU's are at 98% capacity. It's a BIG fake problem.

Actually, not sure if that is true or not- one of the dashboards says that there are 155 beds out of 957 left. https://experience.arcgis.com/experi...1c643c195314e/

This is the woman who made her own dashboard to try to convey info.

The odd part is that it partially does not make sense, given the official death rate on the Dept of Health's own dashboard- it's pretty obvious that the death rate is consistently going up. https://experience.arcgis.com/experi...8ddedb9b25e429 (smart people will realize that the most recent 4 days of deaths should be ignored until it's finally adjusted over the next couple of weeks)

And it's not as if people could not see the long term economic impact if this was left alone when this whole thing started. As predicted, countries that dealt with this very harshly and with a very, very harsh short term economic problem are coming out of this pretty well with a less impacted work force and healthcare system.

Whereas our half assed attempt thinking that a small impact is better is going to turn into a depression due to the number of sick people no in the work force and it could collapse part of the healthcare system. The impact of doing nothing is so much worse than doing a lot over a short period of time.

Yesterday a man in northern Michigan threatened to stab a Meijer employee who told him he had to wear a mask.

Today a man in Lansing was killed after he stabbed a man at a convenience store he told him to wear a mask. Police were able to trail him to his home where they say he then charged officers with his knife and they shot him where he later died at the hospital.

If masks are such a problem, it's no wonder some of these people have too many kids.
