If the COVID-19 numbers don’t come down. I’m afraid we’re going to see another shut down. I say everybody wear a mask in public, it might help. If it does great. What have we got to lose? And if it doesn’t help we will see another shutdown. Wear your mask for 30 days. It’s not going to hurt a thing. Let’s see what happens.
Had you rather wear a mask for 30 days, Or see everything shutdown for 2 or 3 months?
- Thread starter TopCatCal
- Start date
My wife won't let me go anywhere anyways and I work remotely so shut it down to eradicate this I say.
I’ve been wearing a ******* mask for 4 months and so has everyone in my metro area. And we just shut down again yesterday.
30 days? Lol.
30 days? Lol.
“We’re going to see another shutdown” like it isn’t just some governors making arbitrary ******** decisions. How about everybody acts like an adult and tunes out the hysteria.
They are going to shut down regardless, if they want to. Mask or no mask. Some decisions are political.
Besides. There are certainly going to be more government supported protests and mass gatherings, so spikes are inevitable.

I know a lot of business owners who would go to jail before they shut their business down again
Would you rather wear a condom or risk getting a STD or knocking a sloot up?
I assume the premise of your question is that both choices will “solve the problem” (whatever that means), we’ll arrive at the same endpoint, and no additional measures will be taken, correct?
I’m almost to the point if you are going to require a mask, let’s just go ahead and require every single person get tested. Then let’s open back up. If you have a negative test, go on with life. Seeing some articles saying if you had it, you actually may be able to get it again in a month or two. If that’s the case, do people really expect we shut down for one or two years until vaccine is available? And I wouldn’t be surprised if only half of people get the vaccine so then at that point you have a lot of spreaders out there. Time to shut down again at that point? My vote is open back up, send my kids back to school, take whatever safety precautions you need but we have to live our lives. For kids I wish they would give option of go to school five days a week in class or 5 days virtual learning. Let parents decide from there what they do. For the ones saying Trump is crazy and shouldn’t be opening schools..bet majority of those people would send their kids to school in a heartbeat.

Aren’t you glad you followed the rules all those months only to have arbitrary decisions about social justice turn it all into a waste of 3 trillion dollars?
I was ok with the shutdowns. On the fence about masks but whatever. That all went out the window when these liberal officials and media were completely ok with the massive "protests". Anyone with half a brain knew the virus would spread in huge numbers and we would be exactly where we are today with all of these same people completely up in arms about the rise in cases. The virus is not a Hoax but this has become 100% a political football during what can safely be considered one of the most important elections in this country's history.
Its crazy the best and brightest are a 78 year old with potential dementia and a 74 year old with a big ego issue. I just chuckle that these two wouldn't be working a normal job at their ages but is fit to be potus? Lmao our country is crazy. #2020
The articles about reinfection was from one doctor about what 2 cases? Every other study out there(plus just the nature of immune systems and viruses) show that it's not getting it twice.
It's the fault of the people. Gotta vote for other parties.
I would rather the govt at every level go **** itself.
At this point, we have enough information to let people make their own decisions. If you want to wear a mask, do so. Be aware that other may choose not to do so. If you do not want to wear a mask, that it fine too, but be aware that some places may require a mask.
Bars and restaurants: let the owners decide if it is worth being open. Let the customers decide if it is worth the risks. Same with sports. I'm sure we can find enough college kids that are willing to play, so let them play. Each stadium can decide whether to require a mask or whether they limit capacity. Once the spectators have that info, then they can make their own risk analysis. Maybe some are comfortable going to a game if Commonwealth Stadium requires masks and 1/3 capacity. Maybe Mitch goes balls out (doubtful) and says no masks and full capacity. Then the people that are comfortable with that scenario can go. Everyone else can stay home.
I’m good with a lockdown too. Total lockdown. Shelter doctors and nurses on site for the patients in the hospitals and nursing homes. National Guard delivers meals. If a utility company needs someone on site to make water or power work, then they live there for the duration of the lockdown. No grocery stores, hardware stores, Wal marts, doctors offices open. No buses or taxis or airplanes. You get in your car to drive somewhere, the NG can blast your ***.
So yeah, I’m good either way.

They said "let's close everything down for a while, that will stop the spread" Here we are in month 5 of a 6 week shut down still waiting for things to re-open. 30 days isn't going to solve anything, the worst part of this passed back in April and that hasn't stopped new mandates from being issued weekly.
How about neither. Neither are constitutional. Neither are even necessary.
Answer these two questions as it relates to ky:
How many people have covid right now?
How many are new infections?
Edit: I'll give you a hint - noone knows either. If noone knows either, then how can anyone make an informed decision at all, let alone one of unprecedented nature?
They can't.
Because they aren't having protests everyday.
because they don't have a corrupt political machine trying to over throw a president. and they hate China.
If they don’t send my kids back to school in person in Fayette County, they better also immediately shut down every day care center in Fayette County..you can’t say one is safe and the other not. And to that point if kids don’t go back to school, NTI at home schooling better be done by teachers and not parents. Teachers need to be conducting live classes for at least 4 hours of the day. It was one thing this past year when it was sudden and end of year to just assign a few worksheets that take 30 minutes to complete, then check back in 5 hours later. Butttt, now we are talking “real” school time. Not just teachers, but more so administrator level has had 4 months to come up with a plan. I wish they attend school obviously, wearing mask or whatever they feel they have to do. If teachers are in danger because of their age, there are plenty of young student teachers that can step in with an emergency certificate. If we are going to day cares and playing youth baseball where kids all use the same ball, then we can go back to school.
When you look at tye initial flatten the curve graph theres another small spike after we've flattened...thats what we are seeing yet somehow ppl gsbe changed their belief that the virus was just going to disappear. Hospitals are of no concern of being overran.
I suppose if there are more protests in the name of justice we can pretend that didn't contribute tho

Instead of stimulus the government should send everyone a hazmat suit. You wear it when you leave your home every time. The virus will burn out in a month. You can go to movies fly whatever just wear the hazmat suit made from virus resistant polymer. The tech is there. Everyone keeps a standard issue hazmat suit that’s swapped out every 3 years and it gets broken out anytime this **** happens again.
Actually they have. They have gone from around 50 new cases per day back up to almost 400 new cases a day in the last 3 weeks. That is eight times as many cases. The United States lowest point was around 20k and is back up to around 65k now. That's three times as many. Which country has the bigger spike in your opinion?
Ask Japan about its diverse population and immigration policy.
Proverbial Catch-22. Sweden never shut down. Per capita, their death rate is 40% higher than the US. And what they are finding is that even though they didn't shut down, their economy is still taking a massive hit. Even taking as much of a hit as Norway, Denmark, etc right next door........all of which had shut downs.

Per Andy and the local news, we are in the worst part right now and likely have not peaked.
It’s clear what they want.
People bitching about BLM protesters seem to be the same ones that thought the reopen protesters were heroes. The same ones that thought churches should be open complain about the protesters.
They’re all complicit. In my book all of the people who can’t follow simple f@@king rules are the problem. Both sides. The entitlement that exists in our country is a damn shame. It’s killing the economy and will keep us all screwed for years to come. And in the end the same people will point the finger at the flip side and not recognize their own role in all of it.

Wouldn’t it depend on the increase in number of tests as well?
Maybe you could point the finger at the people making up absurd arbitrary economy killing rules and restrictions because of a flu hysteria.
Arbitrary rules to combat a nonexistent problem shouldn’t be followed.
