Let the locality decide what to do but must show us the data. ICU capacity, etc. Quote What about longer term consequences of getting the disease. Many people have complications that last months. We don't know if some of the heart issues will be really long term. Yea don't really care. Going to be years before you figure that out. We do however know what the long term impact will be on our youth failing on average 2 courses or more. Especially those not privileged enough to have parents let alone parents that can telework. Thats one of those goal posts that got moved around May when kids should have been in school. Edited December 13, 2020 by Big Blitz

Our current health crisis is not a single event in a single town or place. Sheeesh
Buffalo Bills Fan Posted December 13, 2020 Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) In my county. A 24 age passed away from covid RIP. Youngest by far in our county for deaths. 24-year-old dies from COVID-19 The health department says the 24-year-old man experienced a "cardiac event and was unable to overcome his illness despite aggressive medical treatment."

That's like...... 1000 9/11's!

FireChans Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Do you guys remember the NY victory lap in June?

FireChans Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Just now, shoshin said: Or they did, then they got lifted. I am against them BTW. A lockdown that only works if you never leave lockdown, doesn't work.

Remember the posters that said more people would die by suicide/alcohol abuse during a lockdown than of COVID?

It works to reduce the level of virus to the point where widespread testing coupled with effective contact tracing and responsible quarantines on exposed individuals allows society to continue. Unfortunately, we reduced the amount of virus somewhat and then just opened up without the latter mechanisms in place. 2

There’s been virtually ZERO changed in any significant public policy across California in nearly six months.
