[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northam’s order seems like an attempt to consider both economic and medical reality.  A phased approach is at least a plan, and we need a plan to assuage the next waves of armed protests. [/quote]

I’ll say it again. Privileged white Americans are too selfish to sustain this. Our government is too corrupt to have put in measures that would have helped people bear it long term. The result is we half assed it for awhile and with summer coming Americans will just decide they’re done. Mass death will become a fixture of life that we accept so we can go to the pool. Northam understands that this is ending whether it’s time or not because we Americans are just too stupid and intolerant to keep doing it. So he’s enacting phases to at least impose some order rather than just let it be a free for all but I’m positive nobody thinks it’s actually a good idea. They just don’t have choices without government support and a compliant populace. [/quote]

Were  you watching the news? The goal was to flatten the curve, it was not to stop the virus. Once the world missed the opportunity to contain the virus, thanks to China, the goal was mitigation and NOT elimination.  This is a novel virus. The entire population is susceptible to it. In a country of 330 million, the  number of fatalities will be high, but the percentage of people dying is still between .01 and 1%, which is quite low. The fact that we are all susceptible to it at the same time is what makes the numbers seem so overwhelming. Also, we will likely see a higher death rate than a lot of other countries. 40% of adults in the US are obese and obesity is a comorbidity for this virus.  All of this is very sad, but these are facts, facts that can’t be changed.  [/quote]

Friday was our highest rate of death yet. It’ll be 3k a day by June 1. We aren’t flattening the curve. We’re just quitting. [/quote]
