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?
Ah, so you can't evaluate me, and it was just a dig. I can handle that, but maybe you should reevaluate your 'shtick' since it just makes you look like a jerk most of the time. Maybe don't make a huge deal out of mental health and then a few days later use mental health to make fun of people. It's just a bad look.What were my chicken little-esque wailings and nashing (sic) of teeth, exactly? I warned people early and and said what scientists were saying at the time. I was proven right on most accounts (the only incorrect one I can think of was the Ibuprofen warning). There is plenty of history in this and other threads since you seem to want to keep score.I'm not obsessed with Chico's. I'm obsessed with calling him a liar at every turn, because if he can't even admit WHO he is, why should anyone believe WHAT he says. I don't care that he is here and I wouldn't call for him to be banned. Just looking for the honesty that he demands from the media and others. I'm sure plenty of others see it that way as well.
Does anyone know if there has been any analysis of fatality rate based on time period? I've got a hypothesis that the patients who got Covid in Feb were way less lucky than someone who catches it now. Given 3 months of learning best practice interventions AND reduced strain on the healthcare system I'm thinking that the fatality rate in Covid infections is lower now than it was in March or April.
Interesting hypothesis that I hope proves to be true. It makes sense that everything you mention would bring the fatality rate down. So might the fact that many of our most vulnerable have already succumbed.
Proposed "new" normal:-Wear a mask when indoors whenever possible(everyone)-No gatherings of more than 10 unless outside-Dining establishments can have outdoor dining with 6ft b/t tables and inside with 9ft of space(which will dictate their capacities not some percentage of standard capacity)-if you are at risk, advised to remain vigilant and minimize movement-Covid testing once a week(for a completed test you get $100 dollars)-Outdoor events/entertainment can resume with 6ft of spacing (lines, seats, etc) ie, concerts at Red Rocks or Summerfest are good to go as long as crowds can be spaced.What else? Who objects? Reasonable modifications?
Ok, snowflake.
Again, anecdotal but according to my sis it has to do with treatments. My sister works one day a week as an actual nurse at a separate hospital. It is a trauma center. Their improvements has been less but they get the worst cases. She says the treatments they have now versus March are leading to better outcomes.

So if I'm understanding you correctly, my 15 person office opens back up. Everyone would be wearing a mask whilst seated at their desks? (Not trying to be combative, just trying to understand your largely reasonable stances)
And who is going to pay for $100 per test? I can get tested weekly and make $400 a month?
Does the nature of your work require you to be in the office? If so 6ft distance and hand washing wherever possible and masks when distance is allowed. Anyone that can work from home should continue to do so until cure/vaccine. Incidental contact is very low risk, its sustained contact and droplets from talking that are the main risk.Government. We're losing $16 Billion a month in GDP, we can afford to spend some amount of money($100 was lazy, number could be different) to incentivize people to test. If we test once a week and pull those who test positive out of circulation right away, the R0 gets to like 0.4 or less pretty fast
Right, and that is proactive rather than reactive. You reward good actors rather than punish bad actors. Flies, honey, vinegar.
So what do you do with fall sports?
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.
Just saw a PSA in which Nick Saban tells people to wear a mask. Having sports celebs like that do those in state will create a positive response and can only help
The king reference was solely because I was answering the question that was asked. Flew straight over your head, ai'na?And FWIW, the CDC is within HHS, which is controlled by a Trump appointee. So yeah - if Trump wanted CDC to do exactly what it was created to do, they would be doing it. It has nothing to do with a dictatorship, and everything to do with a President empowering (or not) one of the Executive Branch agencies to do what it was created for.
