It's not about fear, idiot. It's about halting the spread of the virus altogether. Only then can things return to "normal".Uff...The better question is, what do those in NYC know that these morons haven't learned yet?Residents in some Utah counties still going about their normal lives despite coronavirus pandemic
Streets are bustling in the county of Washington, Utah, with no masks or gloves in sight.abcnews.go.com
Months into the fight against the novel coronavirus in the U.S., some Americans' daily lives are still relatively normal. In Washington County, Utah, with a population of about 165,000, business is almost as usual with streets bustling and people out in public without masks or gloves.
Golf courses are open and packed -- though with only one person per cart. Parks are open, kids play on the slides and people string up hammocks and have group picnics.
The majority of businesses in Washington City remain open, though some employees wear protective gear, and some businesses have reduced capacity or have adjusted opening hours.
*****************
Shelter in the park or on the golf course.
And this isn't the only place. I've seen it personally myself.
And Washington County has a whopping 40 some odd cases....and 1 death at last count.
What do they know that you morons in New York City don't ?
Wait a few weeks and report back.
The problem with this theory is that they've clearly been going about their business since the beginning. So, how many weeks have they already experienced their normal way of life without the "dreaded NY effect"? The fear of "well, just around the corner is death!" Is unreasonable and you know people will use it to their advantage. Scary.
I have been sensing that some in Canada are trying to make this political. If I read CNN and MSNBC correctly, they've never stopped and this pandemic must have them salivating, just like the Russian investigation, Kavanaugh Hearings and Impeachment. This cannot be political and those who make it must be punished.
We have many in Canada who operate the same way, their sponsors like easy money, even if it means destroying their own nation and communities and they see Trump and bringing America to the good old days when they just want power at all costs. You cannot have society pinned down, lives rotting away while the wealthy and their lackeys call the shots.
So, I say, reasonable, cautious return to normal in some communities makes perfect sense. In fact, the level of caution right from day one was always more relevant in places like NY than others than some small town in the middle of nowhere. Life isn't without risk, you just mitigate it everyday on many issues.
If I am Trump, I conduct surveys state by state and ask citizens a series of questions to get an understanding of what they want. How they are feeling about the shutdown. Governors have to do their part, just as Premiers in Canada are. A "one size fits all" solution is completely irrational in my opinion.
The interior of the country is weeks behind NYC. The virus doesn't magically arrive everywhere and in the same concentration at the same time. This is a rolling catastrophe where "hot spots" will appear in different areas at different times. It seems Wash county is ripe.
Keep trying.
We've been listening to this bullshit for weeks.
It has not arrived in a lot of places.
There are several hot spots that have already turned.
And everyplace is ripe all the time.
You want to live in fear.
Be my guest.
Most of us chose differently.
You have no proof except the fucking stupid ever changing massively wrong models.
Today's exposures take up to 14 days to show up as symptoms.
