At least they have a plan. That is better than most.
I think many states have plans, but NC just happens to be one of the first states ready to begin Phase One, according to the timeline of decline in new cases. There was a list posted somewhere that gave rough dates by state, but I can't seem to find it.I believe it estimated that one state (Montana? Wyoming?) would be ready by May 1, with four or five others (including NC) ready about a week later.
Actually, many governors have the same plan.
SC, GA, and FL don’t.
I'm still trying to figure out how a customer gets a pedicure, manicure, haircut, massage or tattoo from a practitioner standing or sitting 6 feet away.
Eventually salons are going to have to open before we have a vaccine right? The fact is we are going to have to return to some semblance of "normal" that still isn't going to prevent the disease from spreading entirely. People are still going to get sick and some are going to die. Hopefuly we can mitigate the spread and get a better understanding of how to treat before we hopefully can get a vaccine.
I understand, and I agree.But don't pretend that you are a governor who is still emphasizing social distancing when you are allowing businesses that do tattoos and manicures.
But that's going to happen. Eventually its going to be about mitigating risk. Salons, restaurants and retail shops are going to open AND people are still going to be working remotely, wearing masks and trying to stay six feet apart from one another.
I disagree in that this has always been about mitigating risk. Thats what the guidelines are for. To tell states when things have moved from 'out of control' to 'something manageable'.
If a state truly wants to "mitigate risk," then at a minimum it would follow the three-phase plan laid out by the administration. States that open before meeting the criteria are simply living with a higher level of risk and hoping for a miracle. And 'hoping for a miracle' is not the same as mitigating risk.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/04/24/strokes-coronavirus-young-patients/Geez this thing is nasty. I guess now is a good time to familiarize yourself with the FAST test.
FAST is an acronym used as a mnemonic to help detect and enhance responsiveness to the needs of a person having a stroke. The acronym stands for Facial drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulties and Time to call emergency services.Facial drooping: A section of the face, usually only on one side, that is drooping and hard to move. This can be recognized by a crooked smile.Arm weakness: The inability to raise one's arm fullySpeech difficulties: An inability or difficulty to understand or produce speechTime: If any of the symptoms above are showing, time is of the essence; call the emergency services and go to the hospital immediately.
And we really have no idea why some people are affected so hard, and others not. A lot of these with unusual deaths, are in people with no preexisting conditions. So weird. And I still think we are all (well most 60% wish) likely to get this sometime between now and next May. It's quite honestly a role of the dice on which of us are affected hard or not at all (asymptomatic).
This is nuts. 96% asymptomatic across 4 different prisons? It feels like the further we get into this, the less we know. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/494670-ninety-six-percent-of-inmates-in-four-state-prisons-who-tested-positive
