[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There seems to be a lot of competing viewpoints on what the endgame is here.  For some it’s obviously a vaccine, and we should all stay home until then.  I don’t think that is realistic for a number of reasons. I thought Hogan’s plan was practical and included straightforward goals.  There needs to be more testing and shoring up of hospitals.  Flattening year curve still means that most of us will likely be exposed, just over a longer period of time.  Those that don’t want to risk being exposed at all should continue take extra precautions.

But yes, other states are in fact “going first“, so we will be able to see how it turns out for them before the DMV really opens up.[/quote]

This is EVERYBODY's PLAN, it's just that one side wants to get moving now, testing and supplies be damned. Not smart.[/quote]

Is it? [b]Seems like there are some that want to stay home indefinitely.[/b]  It will always be “too soon” for someone.[/quote]

Name them.

Pretty much every teacher and daycare teacher for starters. Teachers unions will come out hard against reopening.[/quote]

I can't imagine why a daycare teacher or teacher in a school - which are petri dishes to begin with - don't want to be more critically exposed to kids, and their families, or worse, they don't want to expose the kids or their families themselves.

How about you go do it first?[/quote]

I’m a Fed, so we probably will be some of the first back in the office and riding metro, but not sure *how* if I have no childcare.[/quote]

I think it depends on where your office is located.  Managers have broad discretion, but managers being managers, expect the worst and hope for the mediocre.  The plan seems to envision masked employees sitting around a conference table, with ample hand sanitizer and toilet paper available.  I'm not sure that the Metro is first and foremost in Trump's mind.  Most Republicans don't commute by Metro.  But I doubt most of the neoliberal people here do either.[/quote]
