As long as you promise that you and everyone you live with won’t seek out medical help if you get sick. Thanks!

No. Hospitals aren’t overwhelmed. They were never overwhelmed outside of NYC, and even there they weren’t turning people away from ventilators. Anyone can get medical treatment ... even those who go out when the governor opens stuff up.

Huh? They were only not overwhelmed because hospitals scrambled to make new ICU beds and canceled/delayed large numbers of medical procedures. AND we had lockdowns.

If you “aren’t scared” then promise you and everyone you live with won’t seek out medical care.

Nothing is changing. That’s the issue. We sat home for 7 weeks like we were told and the government did very very little with that time. I don’t have faith another 7 weeks will be any different.

LOL, not only is nothing changing, it’s actually getting worse. Yet we’re reopening, which I totally support. But it just goes to show you that the last two months have been an idiotic waste of time!

Not really. Have you not learned anything from all of this?

What? That we shut down the world and then opened it up again just as things started to get really bad because it’s summer and our people want to eat in restaurants and no one can stay inside forever, and hell, there will never be a vaccine anyway, and now we know that it’s almost entirely sick and old people dying, so screw it I want go to the pool? You mean that?

Nothing is changing. Nothing has changed. It’s going to take longer for that. We are so immature and impatient when asked to be compassionate towards others. There’s so much magical thinking going on. Go ahead. Get a pedicure. Whatever.

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

+1. We’re two weeks behind Italy... we’re 8 days behind Italy...

The 2.2 million was a projection based on not taking any mitigation measures-- no shut down, no social distancing, no telework or tele school, no additional hygiene practices.

THIS. It baffles me how people just don’t seem to get this. We shut things down in early March so that we would not get the 2.2 million projected deaths and now that we didn’t, we’re hearing “oh COVID 19 is not that bad, why did we shut down”? This lack of critical thinking baffles me. Is this a reflection of the USVeducation system?

It doesn't matter how educated one is. They can still be ignorant as billy bob or bubba.

As a nurse with INOVA who had been furloughed, this is true. Not only are hospitals not overwhelmed, they are DEAD. ER is dead, whole units are shut down.

I'm going to return to a DISASTER of people who have been forced to put off important medical care. What is going to be dangerous is the hours everyone is going to have to put in when Northam gets his head out of his ass.

Even if I wanted to do this, I’d be worried about irreparable damage of my friends’ good opinion of me. This would not go over well.

What is your grand explanation as to we have yet to get as bad as Italy that all you sky is falling mental cases were blathering on and on about? That apparently was supposed to happen early april, then mid April, then late April.

I'm waiting because as of today our deaths per million are 211, of which half that NYC is responsible for. Italy is at 481 deaths per million. Despite your frantic stimming and rocking back and forth, it still hasn't happened.

What phase is this slated for?

And that’s fantastic! It’s what was intended. To not be Italy. Now chill.

Some groups of friends have not only physically graduated high school, but have also mentally matured.

So no real party line? Or is that still being worked through PR and you have not yet been spoon fed your thoughts yet? Just "oh our great quarantine worked!" Trump lead us out of the dark waters and into the healing light? With our half ass lockdown.
