It's part of the reason why I'm glad in a weird way that some areas are opening up a bit while others aren't. It's hard to know if what you're doing is working when you have nothing to compare it to. By trying different things, we'll at least get SOME feel for what works and what doesn't. |

I think the elephant in the room here is that while we flattened the curve, essentially you've set this up as a slow burn for a longer period of time. Which...is essentially what flattening the curve is. Just hope the hospitals don't over whelm and people take precautions. |

I've been keeping up with as much info as i can on it and there's some thought out there that that the peak happened before the lockdowns even started. I'm not sure thats the case though. |

My issue with the lockdown is it wasn’t nearly strict enough to accomplish what we set out to do, or we had the wrong goals. The former lockdown needed to be paired with strict strict regulations about who could go out, and then mass testing for essential employees as well as as contact tracing. Combine that with 10 weeks of lockdown and zero air travel you can/could’ve shut this down. The way we locked down we only slowed the virus spreading, but we slowed it too much, you need to slow it to just below what hospitals can handle or this goes on forever and the cure is worse than the disease. Opening back up is the right thing as long as masks are worn and we use true social distancing and more testing and contact tracing. Yes we will see more cases, but we can limit hot spots to not overwhelm health care. This will be the best way forward at this point. My fear is people go wild and every city turns into New York in 6 weeks. Now is more important than ever to be smart with your interactions.

Just the fact they finally opened up doctors offices allowed me to get the basic treatment I needed to treat pneumonia that neither the Dr or I would’ve guessed existed. Telemed wasn’t going to do it, and then this shit lingers, spreads, and gets worse. That’s def a cause for the spikes in deaths, people not getting basic treatment for very treatable ailments and then dying at home as their conditions worsen. Opening up is great, just use some common sense people and we can navigate this shit storm.

I still think there is a argument to be made about going the way of Sweden. Yes, they are worse than us but on an overall basis from a longer term perspective, are they really?

Our hospital is still doing out patient exams , we just screen the patients, but a lot of people are avoid Hospitals right now as well. When people see me or my wife in public they give me a lot of space , I have some people jump away from me like i was a spider. |
