Yes. If/When a second wave hits, then there will be a second sheltering in place. Or a third wave.



No there won't be another sheltering in place. People won't tolerate it anymore.


I actually think this is true. I was one of the people taking earliest precautions. I pulled my kids out of school before DC, Maryland, or Virginia shut down (I'm in Virginia). Bought a bunch of N95s, started ordering groceries. We literally have not been anywhere other than absolutely critical doctors appointments and I was 100% fully invested in locking down. We also have plenty of money, so we've been ordering a lot of good food and my wife and I are both good cooks. But now, I've just basically had it. I can go through another month or whatever but I am NOT doing this all summer. And I'll be damned if I'm going to go through it all over again. Not just because our supply chain is so obviously broken in so many critical ways (chicken and pork shortages AGAIN now, still no TP), but also because our schools are obviously failures and our kids can't learn and even more importantly it is literally destroying large segments of economy and country. I'll be one of the ones out protesting if they try to shut down again. I'm sorry, but millions of people die every year in the US from various causes, and now that I've seen the pain and destruction that lockdowns cause to EVERYONE, a few tens or hundreds of thousands of those annual deaths will just have to be ushered on by COVID.


No one thought we would ever close schools or shelter in place here.

We did. And we'll do it again.


Doubtful, the economic damage was unprecedented. And we still have tons of old
People dying. The lockdown proved that keeping everyone at home still doesn’t save the nursing homes, unfortunately.

Haircuts, eating out, shopping, seeing movies at the theater, vacationing - Busch Gardens, the beach, HAwaii and Disney when they open


Well apparently your income was not affected by the shut down.

Agree with this post.

What bothers me is the actual data and the videos I’m seeing on-site. They’re telling me to stay at home when the CDC admits to fudging the numbers by telling doctors to report the any death as a COVID death if it’s presumed, no test needed. So these people who are dying are just old people, without even being tested for the thing, now count as a COVID death.

Not to mention, the dancing doctors who are being laid off. The empty hospitals.

Enough is enough. We did our part. The media scare tactic and the John Hopkins University Death/Cases FearPorn map is just old to me now. I want my life back. Well social distance still and keep trips limited to the store, and that’s all we can do. But life must go on.

He said Phase I lasts 2-3 weeks. If cases start to go up, I suspect we stay in Phase I for a month or more, even if we don't revert all the way back to SIP. Read thru the PowerPoint quickly and it doesn't seem like a fast reopening at all. He said he expects each phase to be 3 wks; that means you're looking at the end of phase 3 and back to "normal" some 10 weeks from now, which is after July 4. I guess we have to reopen eventually even though I'd rather stay home -- guess this is as good a plan as any.

They predicted 2.2 million deaths in the beginning. People aren’t buying their BS models anymore.


There are at least 67k+ deaths now in the US over the last 3 months.

If we didn’t stay in place how many deaths do you think there would have been this year?

And that count isn’t even accurate. They’re adding people who haven’t even tested positive for COVID to that count. CDC revised the numbers to 36k deaths from COVID.


Where do you get your crappy news? The CDC didn’t “revise” numbers. That is just a different count - # of death certificates, which is a delayed statistic.

If anything we are undercounting. As of a week ago, the US had 66,000 more deaths than expected. With far fewer automobile deaths, gun deaths, etc.

The question still stands: How many deaths do you think we would have had this year if we didn’t shelter in place?

Umm it’s on the CDC website itself.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm

Of course, the media won’t report this because they want you scared.

CDC revised the counts to remove the “presumed COVID” deaths. Lowering the total amount.


The presumed 67k death count still remains.

The SAH order has really highlighted how abysmally terrible public education is. The teachers and admins have all been exposed as frauds.

Temper your expectations.


Cite?


Omg. Shut it with the cite nonsense. No one knows and you’re being a pill.


So, these claims about how badly reopening is going are absolutely false. Got it!

Also exposed how badly undereducated our adults are. They don’t even remember high school biology and how viruses are spread and killed. Someone asked if the virus lives in the ocean water.

We live in an era where we’re all walking around with mini-computers and infinite information in our fingertips and people still rely on the mainstream media to give them their info instead of taking 5 mins to research things for themselves. It’s truly astonishing that our population is this dumbed down.
