Well that's been the problem this whole time....everyone wants a "now" solution. And there's not one.Sasappis said:
Hospitalizations flattening is a big deal.
This thing is not like a light switch where what you do today immediately impacts tomorrow. There is a lag and it looks like the get serious message of a couple of weeks ago is having a positive effect today.
Hopefully the flat hospitalization trend keeps going and even starts to decline.

"2 more weeks" isn't a solution either.BohunkAg said:Well that's been the problem this whole time....everyone wants a "now" solution. And there's not one.Sasappis said:

I think that was accurate back in March and April. But now, we have enough data and a much better understanding of it that you're now either a Facts person or Feels person.Quote:
And it's part of the reason why people are acting so crazy. There seems to be no middle ground on this (at least not in public discourse) - you're either a Virus Denier or a Boy Who Cried Wolf. And neither persona has any effect on the other, except to make people dig into their ridiculously extreme viewpoints even harder.
Now if people would take the stay at home warnings seriously and actually think twice about who they are socializing around.SoupNazi2001 said:third coast.. said:

Your incessant drum beating of the stay at home crap leads me to believe you have no idea what these SAH and lockdowns have done to people's mental health.cajunaggie08 said:Now if people would take the stay at home warnings seriously and actually think twice about who they are socializing around.SoupNazi2001 said:third coast.. said:

And you dont have to completely stop. I have friends who i socialize with. They also work from home and only go out to stores occasionally when they need to pick something up. I consider that an acceptable risk. I choose not to get close to friends and family that are seeing other friends and other family. I realize that may be extreme but its kept us from being exposed so far.SoupNazi2001 said:cajunaggie08 said:Now if people would take the stay at home warnings seriously and actually think twice about who they are socializing around.SoupNazi2001 said:third coast.. said:

People aren't going to stop living their life. I know I'm not, shut down or not.
PERCENTAGE OF POSITIVE TESTS IS A MEANINGLESS STATcajunaggie08 said:
Number of new cases and percentage of positive tests are going up. Is that a fact or a feeling? Or is this continued increase due to 4th of july gatherings or continued protests.
it's not identical, but it's not completely different, either. i know it's human nature to want to to point to other people as the problem, but i guarantee you a lot more than 60k people were out at the beaches and lakes and whatever else in addition to the protests.Ag_07 said:
Because there's a difference in going somewhere (restaurant, retail store, recreation) that's at 50% capacity and social distancing and 60k people standing shoulder to shoulder marching and screaming.
It's not the same
Of course i do! My best friend is stuck out on the west coast with no social circle and not being able to see other people is taking its toll on him. I try to call him daily.CreakinDeacon said:Your incessant drum beating of the stay at home crap leads me to believe you have no idea what these SAH and lockdowns have done to people's mental health.cajunaggie08 said:Now if people would take the stay at home warnings seriously and actually think twice about who they are socializing around.SoupNazi2001 said:third coast.. said:

I turned down going to my parents' house for the 4th because I told them that they and my siblings weren't being safe about distancing. That pissed them of pretty quickly and I got the spiel about "deaths are down" and "you can pick it up anywhere." 3 days later they both test positive. So ya, i think it did keep me and my family safe.SoupNazi2001 said:cajunaggie08 said:And you dont have to completely stop. I have friends who i socialize with.

It's not necessarily what has kept you safe so far. About 1% of Americans have tested positive and 99% haven't, but good job.

To be fair, instead of working from my office, I now work on what is effectively a glorified TV tray as needed. Used to be that showing up sober and wearing pants was a win. Since I'm in my home, the pants part of that equation is no longer in play.Jet Black said:
I haven't changed a thing. Restaurants, bars before they ridiculously closed, seen my parents, seen friends, going to the store, etc. I'm feeling fine.
