Allowing for snark....if we don't open now, when do we? You're king of America as of today, what's your plan from this point forward?
I support you getting the help you need. Seriously, i do worry about your mental health, and the mental health of all workers during the pandemic. Something like 40% of all employees have reported symptions of anxiety and or depression in the last few months. The mental health system is strained, was already, worse now, but make the call. It will help you immensely.
You could be spot on ZFB. https://www.dailywire.com/news/hundreds-of-doctors-warn-trump-of-exponentially-growing-negative-health-consequences-of-shutdown?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=benshapiro
Put the CDC in front, instead of "right behind" the states.Specifically, I would devote the entire scientific force of the federal government to enhance testing (both in numbers, and in ensuring that only the most accurate tests are used), and contact tracing. The hodgepodge of tests - both in terms of availability and accuracy - plus the shortfalls in contact tracing ability, will hamper any effort to rein this in in a responsible way.Only the CDC has the ability to do that...and if I were King of America, I would order them to get on the above immediately. (Although frankly, if I were King, I would have told them that months ago.)
Don't know if this has been posted, as I don't have the intention of wading through much of this, but this seems to be good news.https://news.yahoo.com/as-more-states-reopen-georgia-defies-predictions-of-coronavirus-resurgence-whats-the-lesson-for-the-rest-of-the-country-164734815.html
I understand your point, but I think its fair to point out that one of the primary reasons we had a shortage of tests in March that left us flying blind was because the CDC royally screwed up fabricating their test in January and February. Then they dragged their feet "fixing" the problem only to find out the test was essentially useless. They were supposed to set up contact tracing and surveillance testing in key areas by mid-February and didn't. That's not to say the CDC is useless, but my point is they own a level of culpability in how we got to where we are.
I'm being serious.
No shît genious. It's been my schtick for 14 years on this site. We all cant be as smart and hysterical as you, but you have a Solution for everything. This place is a joke and i treat it as such. Always have.Good luck with your paranoia.
Masks are mandatory in indoor public places. Ticketable offense. Costco can send a picture of your bare face to the 5-0 and it is a $100 fine. Nationwide universal testing program. Find a reliable antibodies test. Cash payments to the previously underpaid unappreciated essential employees. Stockboys, delivery truck drivers, paramedics working for private companies, nursing home employees, janitors at medical facilities.Direct payments to small businesses to open them back up. Insist they all have a plan and actually follow it. As the king, make a show of visibly following the protocol. Use my bully pulpit to marginalize the anti-maskers. Bet my political career on doing the right thing by my constituents.
Yes it is. Over 100K new coronavirus cases yesterday. We’ve got it under control!Open up!
It appeared to be good news until people started looking into the data reporting practices...https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/20/us/florida-georgia-covid-19-test-data/index.html
It does eventually.
Interesting that neither the Daily Wire nor Fox News, which first reported on this letter, mentioned who's behind it.The first signature on the letter was Dr. Simone Gold, an emergency medicine specialist in Los Angeles who is listed as a member of the Save Our Country Coalition* on the group’s website. She has recently appeared on conservative talk radio and podcast programs to advocate for the use of hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug that Trump says he is taking because he believes it can prevent COVID-19, even though no research has shown it to be effective. Gold said she has prescribed the drug to two of her patients with good results.*Save Our Country Coalition is an alliance of conservative think tanks and political committees formed in late April to end state lockdowns implemented in response to the pandemic. Other members of the coalition include the FreedomWorks Foundation, the American Legislative Exchange Council and Tea Party Patriots.https://chicago.suntimes.com/coronavirus/2020/5/19/21264399/pro-trump-doctors-reopening-economy-coronavirusThere undoubtedly are millions experiencing anxiety and other mental health issues as a result of the pandemic and stay-at-home orders. We as a country should be working to address their needs, rather than politicizing them or cynically using them as an argument for ending other public health measures.
And I was being serious when I said that I think Chico's needs a checkup. Creating a second personality is definite sign of mental illness, isn't it? I'm asking since you're somehow diagnosing me as paranoid, or depressed or something. Unsure what your criteria for your diagnosis of me is, exactly. But you're the expert here, not me.Please advise.
Those figures are undisputed %u2014 despite a clumsy effort by state officials to present the data in a way that made them look even better.
The numbers reflect a slowing in transmission. According to the AJC database, Rt — an epidemiological statistic that represents transmissibility, or the number of people a sick person infects at a particular point in an epidemic — fell from 1.0 on May 4, to 0.94 on May 11, to 0.88 on May 16. An Rt below 1 indicates that each person infects, on average, less than one other person.
I am an expert when i can say thay you are obsessed with chicos, but thats about it. You made yourself the coronavirus expert from the beginning with your chicken little-esque wailings and nashing of teeth. You're a medical professional, not me.
We don't have a monarchy in this country, or a system that allows what you want. Also, so many here and around the country already call him a dictator and you want to actually give him dictator powers? Careful what you ask for. Besides, what is good for NYC isn't good for North Dakota or Wyoming. This is why you see so many around the nation upset.
I'll add one more. Make gatherings of 20+ people a criminal offense. That includes churches. Big parties and churches are spreading this right now. Church and religious services can easily continue in an online format. If you follow the above. I think much of business can open and stay open in a successful manner.
What about outside? Are you ok with outdoor patios and dining open for up to 50, while limiting outdoor church services to 10, ala Minnesota?
Basically, their 3 week rolling average of positive cases and positive % are declining. There is an 18% decline from May 4th to the 18th. Even adjusting for their reporting... um.... irregularities.
