The P&R Plague Thread (Covid-19)

This is all very frustrating from all sides.

First, you have the people who are off work or own businesses that have been shut down and they are frustrated.  Many times, people don't know how to vent that frustration and they take it out on the people who made those decisions.

Then, you have people who CAN work or are required to work because the are "essential" and they are very frustrated because they are put in danger or are forced to be away from family.

I have the feeling things are going to get rather ugly.  Sad thing is, we don't have a leader that's willing to calm the waters.

This is an interesting discussion mirroring what you're talking about:



 
More antibody tests coming out. Stockholm and USC recently releasing results. All these antibody tests are showing the virus is significantly more widespread then previously thought (which means less deadly). The USC one estimated around 300,000 cases in LA at the time they had 600 deaths. Though deaths is a number that grows, but still more widespread than the number of cases we see in the reports.

How is everyone feeling about the timing of some states ending their shelter in place orders or slowly starting to open up some businesses at the end of this week or the month?

Premature is the word that keeps coming to my mind. Based on a lot of what I'm reading, health officials are seriously concerned that we haven't done enough to limit an outbreak down the road.

The pendulum is starting to swing in favor of the economy for a lot of folks, particularly republicans.

I personally believe it's way too early in many of the areas that are discussing it like Georgia, Michigan...etc.  I do believe some states need to adjust their stay-at-home order.  Pennsylvania, for instance, didn't make any sense as to what businesses could stay open and which ones couldn't.  

However, I'm to the point of saying...what ever.  If some open up early and they have a spike in cases and deaths....well.....they were stupid.  If they open up early and they don't, then it's great for the people going back.

I think the criteria for states to open back up the WH put out were decent.  Problem is, some states are doing it and they don't even meet the minimum requirements.

BTW...we are at 2,200 deaths today and it's only 2:45.  Sure doesn't seem like things are slowing down that much.
