Temper your expectations.

I think Georgia/Florida are doing fine.

No they are not

Va will open to Phase One on May 15 IF the data continues to show a downward percentage trend.

To the poster regarding day care- those could already be open if they want to be. The go ahead was given weeks ago. Open for essential workers and in VA that definition is broad.

Schools are not going to re-open so why bother mentioning it. It has nothing to do with Phase One.

My cousin and her husband are both teleworking and send their kids to a corporate daycare in Fairfax.

So some daycares are still open. I have not seen a single news story about any COVID cases in daycares, and I suspect that if outbreaks were occurring, we'd be hearing about them. Sooooooooo no outbreaks at daycares? Makes me think daycares aren't high-risk. Just saying.

Omg. Shut it with the cite nonsense. No one knows and you’re being a pill. [/quote]
I haven’t heard of GA nor FL seeing any significant spikes. And if so, it just means they’re testing more people. So it doesn’t even mean anything. You can be asymptomatic and still be positive and not even know it.

This is why it’s best to just open up and let people keep doing the social distancing thing like they’re doing now and keep it moving. We’re able to go to grocery stores here in the same manner, so there’s no difference at all. Just keep doing what you’re doing now when you go out. [/quote]Has it even been a week yet since they eased restrictions? It takes a while for the cases to show up in hospitals, at least 10-14 days. I'm not sure we'd see data with that bump in cases yet.

If COVID takes hold in a place like the Villages in Florida, it would be a disaster many times worse than NYC. You could see 100k infections and a ridiculously high rate of deaths in a single county.

Georgia is going up. Texas is going up.

They aren't social distancing anymore. They don't understand public health. Neither do you.

No one ever said they wouldnt go up. What they said is that they're not worried about overloading hospitals.

Then you like the look of the new 3000/day prediction? You want to aim for that by reopening?

Wow.

Keyword, prediction. If you want to abide by that, great. But all of their predictions have been horribly wrong.

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

There wont be. Sorry Jan.

You don’t think there will be a second wave? You don’t think the number of cases/deaths will start increasing?

Of course cases will go up, but that doesn't mean we need to shut down again.

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.

I think there will be a second wave, but I dont expect another quarantine, no.

No, just accept it and move on.

Yep. Just like mass shootings.

Good point!

Ahhh. Now I’m starting to understand who is pushing to reopen regardless of the number of cases/deaths.

Honestly I’m not in a hurry to go out where there are a bunch of people. And I don’t think I’m alone. But have at it.

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

We did. And we'll do it again.

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