PPP is here but I know what you're saying. PPE is less of an issue now finally and that should not be an issue for the fall rise in cases. 

 

There's no break. Once hospitals "reopen" for anything like normal, they will be flooded with non-Covid issues that will have only gotten worse since this began.

That's a good point, but at least it will be more scheduled things as opposed to emergency situation after emergency situation.  Maybe they can rotate some people out.

My wife works with an at-risk population daily. Your second sentence is EXACTLY what is happening. It is a nightmare and what's worse is that many of the support services outside of the medical care but related are also shut down or running barebones. Meals. Transport. Medical supply delivery. An entire chain of homecare support is nearly shut down. Thank a doctor and thank a nurse. But really, thank anyone in healthcare right now. What there are doing not only treating covid patients, but trying to keep the remaining healthcare system from collapsing, is heroic. It's that dire.  

 

Yep, which reinforces the case that in the low infected areas they should be relaxing some of the restrictions so that these people get the care they need.

Low infected place today, is high infected place tomorrow

I remember when this whole shut down was sold to us as a measure we needed to take so that the hospitals weren't overrun. That didn't happen so it seems we just pivot and find new ways to keep people in hysterics.

Do you know why the hospitals weren't overrun?  Think of it like a salary cap.  People think it's to keep teams competitive, but it's really made for cost certainty.  We're continuing the quarantine, because we know that it is saving lives, even though that wasn't what it was initially billed as.  I hate when people use the words panic and hysterical.  Look up the definitions.  Panic means irrational: there's nothing irrational about fearing for everyone's safety.  Hysterical is uncontrolled emotion.  I haven't run into any hysterical people yet.

The left's slogans give it away

As we go through yet another week of Wuhan virus restriction in the United States, do you find yourself becoming annoyed at the daily sloganeering? We see these messages on television, hear them on radio and flashed before us while driving. I, for one, am beginning to tire of this "we're all in this together" claptrap, along with "flattening (or bending) the curve"; social distancing; and "stay safe, stay strong."

 

However, the one slogan that is most irritating is "stay at home...save lives." Let's not forget that original reason for sheltering at home

every other radio ad in the last few weeks talks about “flattening the curve”.  Lol.

The Los Angeles Times reports:

Quote

 

“I am beyond disturbed,” Van R. Johnson, mayor of Savannah, Ga., said on CNN after Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced that gyms, salons, tattoo parlors and bowling alleys in the state could reopen Friday as long as customers obeyed social distancing guidelines.

Johnson called the governor’s order “reckless, premature and dangerous,” and asked businesses in his city to show “common sense” by staying closed.

He said Savannah still lacked the wide-scale testing that public health experts say is necessary before shops and businesses can safely reopen.

SALENA ZITO: Coronavirus protesters just want to work.

 

“The center of the demonstration was the return of the dignity of work,” Gerow says flatly.

 

Gerow, who is a Republican media consultant, is irked at the mockery online of the attendees. “Pennsyltucky” trended on Twitter, an alleged derogatory description of people who are from the more rural stretches of the state and not the urban centers of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

 

“Well, first of all, there were plenty of people from suburban Philly and Pittsburgh at this event, so to try to pin on people you consider part of the ‘deplorable’ or ‘bitter-clinger’ crowd is a joke,” Gerow said, referencing derogatory terms used by both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama when they were running for president.

 

“I think it’s a grossly unfair categorization, because I can tell you that the folks that I was standing with were all highly educated, professional people, at least one of them a Harvard grad,” he said of the friends he attended with that also included someone who made the three-plus hour drive from Pittsburgh.

 

“Those rural hills and valleys and small towns are made up of the places where our agriculture is grown and produced, but it is also where people from here and people who come to visit here hunt, and hike and camp and fish. So I don’t think they accomplished the insult they so cleverly thought they were accomplishing by using the word ‘Pennsyltucky,’” said Gerow.

 

“They all stressed they just wanted to work. And the one guy was carrying a sign that simply said, ‘I need a haircut,’ and we all thought that was pretty funny because we all certainly are in that boat,” he said of everyone’s rather shaggy appearance. “There was a woman standing there with us, and she said, ‘I’m a stylist, and I’m out of work.’ She said, ‘I would do anything to be cutting his hair right now.'”

 

Well, there are Two Americas: The one that’s still getting a paycheck, and the one that’s not.

Mayors might consider a few other options. First, they should inform residents of their rights under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The OSHA website explains, “The General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) Act of 1970, 29 USC 654(a)(1), which requires employers to furnish to each worker ‘employment and a place of employment, which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm.’” If they believe their workplace is unsafe, they can file complaints with OSHA field offices.

I don't give a ***** about some loser politicizing a suicide and conveniently blaming others for it. Anyone who does that, right or left, is a total d-bag.

Even in higher infected areas, the general shut down is way too severe.

Maybe we should have used the term, "get the curve flat, and keep it there indefinitely or at least until it magically disappears".

Is it too late to shut down that nuisance to progress that is OSHA??

Apparently, he feels the same about people like you as evidenced by his commentary.  Everyone wins.
