No, early 40's, active and healthy.
I expect there to be way more. People are staying home and afraid to go to hospitals. People who get sick from non-corona stuff will wait until the last possible second to seek help, often when it's too late. There will also be a huge spike in suicides, and domestic/child abuse. This is already being seen.agcrock2005 said:
Wonder how many fewer deaths there will be in the numbers for this year for congestive heart failure, cancer, natural causes, diabetes, etc...
I definitely agree with this part.Quote:

Dallas County commissioners on Friday extended the state's first stay-at-home order until May 20, after a tense two-hour meeting punctuated by debates over hospital readiness, the cost of the pandemic and how best to help the region's most vulnerable.

Yeah responded too quickly. Am an idiot. But not as much of an idiot as Clay Jenkins.
The poor and marginalized will be hurt the most by this shutdown. Now and in the long run. I can only assume that is Clay Jenkin's primary goal.BIMS O1 said:
"Commissioner John Wiley Price, a Democrat who represents southern Dallas, voted against the plan because he said the restrictions were "choking" his constituents."
I agree with JWP on something!
Everyone will be poor and marginalized if these idiots don't let us go back to work before too terribly long.Quote:

I think the point is expanding the welfare state and pushing the expense on to the federal level. Modern financial slavery.agcrock2005 said:Everyone will be poor and marginalized if these idiots don't let us go back to work before too terribly long.Quote:

Ya I probably shouldn't have written the financial slavery part. Over the top fr sure but I do believe our city's marginalized workers and poor are going to be hurt disproportionally more now and in the future by extending the shutdown. Also I think Jenkins isn't afraid of increasing the welfare needs of the people as long as the feds are footing the bill. He gets to take credit for the upside response (low infection, low death) while passing on the cost (business losses and bailouts). During the financial crisis, we may have considered it privatizing the gains while socializing the losses.walton91 said:

I just don't understand why they are making these decisions so far in advance. What happened to "we will re-evaluate toward the end of this order"?
Where was this mentioned? I'm guessing heard from a friend of a friend?DFWTLR said:
He said on twitter that's the date 'scientists and doctors' told him, and that it could be further extended if necessary. He is also shutting down gas stations that are still selling hot dogs, properties...
