Say bye-bye-bye to Girls and Boys DA

Technically, you’ll take chances with other people’s lives, since you are almost certainly a low risk of dying from it. You have decided that your privacy and that of others is more important than the lives of many old people and some others who get coronavirus.
no take your own chances. I'll take mine. I never touch anyone anyway and neither should you. if you are worried stay home.
 
Wisconsin barflies are flocking to belly up for a drink or two. Elbow to elbow. No masks...

Looks a lot like one big giant simmering Petrie Dish! Ughh.
 
yes. my liberty is more important. where have you been with the flu every year. you know who dies from it? the same people that are dying from this. if you are s are stay home
Actually the ones dying from the seasonal flu are the ones who have been exposed and weren't vaccinated.

Regardless, they cause autism according to esteemed epidemiologist Jenny McCarthy. You’re way better off injecting bleach instead of a vaccine. Or does injecting bleach suddenly make make bleach a vaccine?

Potassium permanganate is listed as an essential medicine by WHO. So it hydrogen peroxide. I wouldn't mix the two without consulting a chemist (or rocket scientist) first.

Hey Pot, Kettle here. I’m just responding to the whackadoos, as were you until you abandoned the good fight. If they stop, problem solved.

Just be aware that the life you are risking isn't necessarily yours.

If you run an indoor restaurant, you may not have options. For other lines of work, take a look at what is happening in Germany. They are doing a lot to implement social distancing within workplaces. Not full production, but not shutdown either.


Quarantine only the elderly?

The nursing homes are already isolating as well as they can. They’ve been on a near total lockdown for weeks now. It is literally a life or death issue for them. If there is anything that can be done to slow the infection, they are already doing it.

But, quarantines leak. Nurses have to come to work, patients have doctor’s visits, food and supplies need to be delivered. The deaths you see now in nursing homes are from that leakage. The rate is somewhat low, because the community infection rate is also somewhat low.

Now imaging we open up everything except nursing homes. The community infection rate would skyrocket, as you know. And, because quarantines leak, the nursing home infection rate would also skyrocket. You’d still get the deaths.
20% of deaths are under 65. 8% are under 55. 2.5% under 45


The data leans old, but not as old as you said. Wide open without controls would mean quite a few deaths among middle aged people, too.

Agree we need to open up, but that’s no reason to be stupid about how we do it. Many people still are not doing the basics: limit shopping to once per week, wear a mask when out, avoid gatherings with people outside your household. Take a look at a street image from Seoul. See all the masks? If you want to open the economy like they have, you may need to look like they do. Wear the stupid mask.

And some things can’t open. We’d be fools to re-open indoor restaurants. No masks for people eating, of course. They talk, one infected person breathes out the virus, and the HVAC recirculates the virus to everyone in the room.
