Given a choice between health catastrophe and economic catastrophe, you say ... eh, flip a coin?

The economic can also lead to other health catastrophic events. Crime. Suicide. Depression for starters. Again, no easy choice in the future.

Britt Hume has joined the "Let Old People Die" brigade, I see.

He's 76, so I assume when the time comes he will just die at home instead of heading to the hospital for a ventilator.

Sorta like Hannity and his water boarding.

Crime rates fell during the Great Recession.
As for suicide, is the argument that we should let Person A die from illness now so that Person B might be less inclined to kill himself in the future?

Thank you mods, for removing posts wishing death for some. Has NO place here!

Some in the Wisconsin Senate and Assembly think they should have the power to make the decision on closings or stay-at-home edicts on coronavirus - not the governor.

I expect we will see this before long in other states as well.

Kansas removed power from the governor last week

Looks like the “mod” erased a fair amount of posts. True colors exposed in difficult times. Actually, the lack of respect was exposed whenever certain people do not like a post.

WTF are you bellyaching about? There was one post on this thread by Jockey I deleted today.  One! None of the other mods touched this thread either. I'll post the rest of MY moderation from the COVID-19 thread so you can audit my biases. Don't be an idiot goose, you're better than this.

I'll verify what Rocky is saying. I didn't think my post was out of line, but it's his board and I will respect his decisions on any of my posts whether I agree or disagree with that decision..

Ok.my family has been on stay at home for 2 full weeks.  I dont think any of us caught it.  (Maybe real minor for me, could also be seasonal allergies kicking in.)

So, thinking we are safe from having it.  (Realize that going to the store is a new possible exposure every time.)

How much longer do we have to wait in Wisconsin for a projected all clear?  I know the governor's order says end of april,  but is that realistic still with the actual spread in WI?

Realistically, an all clear when we have a vaccine in 12-15 months.

Before then, you just may have less risk at different times.

Not trying to be pessimistic, just the reality of the situation given that we do not have the means to suppress this in the ways China did.

We know how the line on the graph moves. Been almost the same everywhere and it is just starting to take off in Wisconsin. Cases have gone up by 150% in the last 5 days. They are probably going to continue that trends for weeks yet. As of now, I see no way the order will be lifted anytime soon. I'm just hoping the stay at home order slows things enough so it can be at least partially lifted by April 24.

We still don't have our testing up and running.  Just had an employee text last night that he was around his friend last weekend who is now suspected of having it and is being told to self isolate.

Related note, this won't be the last of this discussion with that employee regarding this.

I’ve got mixed feelings about this story.  If she were my daughter, I would be glad to have her out of harms way.  But if she were my daughter I would be not happy that she is broadcasting her activities to the whole world.  And her relatives moving to their place in Door County to accommodate her potentially strains healthcare in Sturgeon Bay.  Plus she better be careful in those gas station rest rooms.

It's been news here.  New York City prople have been arriving at their Connecticut shoreline summer homes well ahead of summer obviously.
