If you are a Governor when you open things back up ?

Shew - hopefully these governors get demolished by the press...not likely, they didn’t open up beaches or hair salons.
Shutting down the economy for people who aren’t at risk, while requiring nursing homes to bring infected people into close quarters with high risk demographics is such an incomprehensibly stupid response, it’s hard to believe these governors were acting in good faith.
And that’s not Monday morning quarterbacking the issue. You can probably find plenty of posts in threads on this website criticizing the mind numbingly stupid decisions in real time.

The covid thread posters have been wondering why the outbreak was seemingly getting worse in LTC after the lock down. We've been batting it around for weeks. Fair to say I have no knowledge of how these places operate. However, I can't imagine the justification for not only allowing them to take back infected patients but in some cases require it or pay the facilities extra for it.
Meanwhile, KY that is at like 60% LTC deaths vs non-LTC, has only tested 10% of the LTC population and had 2 field hospitals sit empty that could have housed these people in isolation. Why not use hotels, dorms, field hospitals, gyms, literally anywhere but back in the facilities?
People going to hang for those decisions. Cuomo especially.

^^^the Washington state episode early on should have been a warning.
Considering the disastrous #'s coming from KY nursing homes I think there needs to be a serious investigation into how the disease got in our nursing homes so easily compared to other states. Specifically Tennessee.
So glad UK spent all that money on that as well as "we're all in this together" TV advertisements serving zero purpose while they layoff so many folks because they cant afford their salaries. Hmmm
There's an article somewhere, maybe Lex18, but the company who go the deal is owned by the Lundergans. If UK didn't make the decision to take it down by Saturday, it would have cost another $1.6M.

Wow. So he really just spent the whole first portion of the press conference, "tell the children to go in the other room" to incite fear without context over a 10 year old that's on a ventilator. Including a part discussing how dangerous this can be for children.
According to WOM there are no known <9 year old deaths without underlying issues.

As of Jan 20, in KY we had lost 2 under 18 due to the flu. As of March, the US lost 136 children to flu.
Drs say these rare freak reactions that have been shown in NY happen with other Coronavirus’ as well. It sucks - but children’s health and safety vs this virus is one of the positives and I’m glad Dr Stack had a backbone to emphasize its rarity.

Meh. It being mentioned today on reopening isn't a coincidence. How many other specific cases have we discussed like that? Complete scare tactic. After it was delivered he could've spent 30 minutes explaining a child has a better chance of getting hit by a meteor and it wouldn't change the perception.
I agree that was the purpose for Beshears antics. I didn’t watch - I was just surprised that Stack said it was very rare (saw it in tweet form). I really wouldn’t even expect that much out of them.
I just think it’s funny how much he complained about Tennessee but overall they are doing better than Kentucky.
Can the legislature stop that jackass from trying to scare the hell out of people? This is total ********.
Probably in response to the UE negative editorials today.
RQArnold was also complaining about Tennessee back in March; I don't believe that he has commented lately about that subject. I don't recall if the Fuzz persona had similar complaints.
Do you also find it amusing that no less than two Federal Judges have already reversed his decrees as unconstitutional? I'm aware of two; perhaps I'm missing some others.
Federal Judges Bertelsman and Van Tatenhove. It was Federal Judge Walker what reversed that idiotic degree from Louisville Mayor Fischer.
It does appear we've finally got testing headed in the right direction. So that's good. Also, very pleased with the WH directive to test all LTCs.
All in all a really good day, as most Mondays are, but let's hold off celebrations to see with the Tuesday after Mother's Day has in store.

Travel ban, and in-person church. In Fischer's case, it was an even more ludicrous ban- a ban on drive thru church services on Easter, no less. His *** needs to be recalled, and forthwith.
Sad - evidently have UK doctors out here lying on Twitter.
Over 17k tests were processed over the weekend with a 1.4% positive rate and we do not have enough testing to test the symptomatics...how has Lexington been doing the last few weeks?
edit- will follow this drama along.
^Yikes.
I'm good friends with ER Docs at UK and other essential Docs over there. They've been slow. They have said ordering a test is annoying but I haven't heard anything about not being available. Fayette County has 368 total confirmed cases and 9 deaths.
**Hmm, I just tried to schedule for the BCTC to check and it says no available opens and suggests since I'm not symptomatic to just use social distancing. That's somewhat concerning.

Do the tests test for the disease and antibodies? If not antibodies, what’s the point in asymptomatic people being tested unless you get a test every day?
I don’t think we are there yet in Ky for asymptomatic testing. Not that there isn’t enough testing - but to make it effective, you have to do it strategically.
I’m a bit more disappointed that they haven’t completed an antibody study yet.

Andy has consistently stated that anyone who wants a test can get a test.
Antibody tests have to be ordered by your doc...I had one last week and am waiting on the results.
Yes I’m sure you can on both - have even looked into antibody.
But neither are any good to paint a broad picture unless done strategically. Antibody tests by private providers will help the individual getting the information, but they need to gather a large chunk to see how much this thing has hit us and since when.
Ohio believes it had a case Jan 7.
