[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, fall is not likely. The whole country is opening too soon. People cannot follow basic mask protocol or distancing. We are gonna have a huge, overwhelming surge in cases in June that we won't be able to manage because all the kids who couldn't do group work in high school became adults who can't do group work. When they try to shut back down with the surge, people will rebel because we are a nation of teenagers and it will be longer and more drawn out than it ever needed to be, add in the flu and it is really gonna be a mess.

As much as you hope for overwhelming craziness and deaths, there is no indication that that will happen.[/quote]

No one is hoping for this but I didn’t think you needed to be a rocket scientist to see the reality of the situation but apparently one does need some kind of advanced degree to understand it. No one would be happier than me to be wrong but life doesn’t run on hopes and wishes.[/quote]

Actually it does seem like some are hoping for this. And as I much as I have tried I can't understand why. I think some people just thrive on being negative and miserable. I can't wait for things to be normal again. Yet it seems there are all those being like "nothing will be normal for 5 years". "The kids won't get back until 2022" etc... it's concerning.[/quote]

The difference in thought process is that some people are scientific thinkers who rely on data and expert projections/opinions and then other people are you.[/quote]

NP- But please, I am in public health and you just cannot say that you are right because you are relying on expert projections.  Expert projections and opinions have been contradictory through this entire thing.  All of these experts have good reasons to back up conflicting opinions and to give conflicting advice because everyone was making educated guesses with no experience.  The "experts" you are citing have had to backpedal and reverse course numerous times during the last four months because none of them had enough "data".  You are just choosing which expert and advice that you want to listen to to validate your opinion.

Luckily, we are learning more everyday about both the disease and the impact of various control policies that have been implemented around the world.  We have four months to continue observing and learning.  Please don't pretend that all "scientific thinkers" have only one opinion and that you are qualified to dismiss other people as being less scientific than you.[/quote]
Well said.[/quote]
