[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so are you all saying, "goodie! I was right!"[/quote]

No.

Are you still saying that it's not as bad as the flu?
that masks are useless?
that there are more cases because there's more testing?
that it'll go away in hot weather?
that everything should open up and we need to just learn to live with it?
that it's only old people who get hospitalized?
that your need to go to the gym or church or bar outweighs our society's need to stop this virus?

You’re so unable to see nuance.

Are you still saying that it's not as bad as the flu? No.
that masks are useless? No. In fact, increasingly it seems clear that we can loosen restrictions and stay safe if we wear masks
that there are more cases because there's more testing? If the positivity rate goes down, that’s true. It’s math, honey.
that it'll go away in hot weather? No.
that everything should open up and we need to just learn to live with it? No.
that it's only old people who get hospitalized? No, but that’s the vast majority of hospitalizations. Again, math.
that your need to go to the gym or church or bar outweighs our society's need to stop this virus? No.

And the issue is - the governor of Arizona disagrees with you on several of these points - most importantly for the current situation, masks and opening up.

And he's just parroting what Trump and Pence are saying. That's the problem. That's why several of us keep harping on this. The "burying your head in the sand and hoping it'll go away" approach will not work and is not working. People will get very ill and many will die who do not need to. That gets some of us very upset.

(BTW, Arizona's positive rate is increasing. It's gone from 6% to 9% to 12% to 14% over the last 4 weeks.)[/quote]
