[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The goal was to flatten the curve. We have done that. Mission accomplished.

It is not going to be just another six weeks of this virus. Probably a year or more. So we will need to relax the social distancing policies to survive, politically, emotionally and emotionally.[/quote]

People keep saying we've "accomplished" the goal of flattening the curve, so we're "done."

That's literally not how this works.

It's flatter than it would be BECAUSE WE ARE STAYING AT HOME. Once we resume anything even vaguely resembling normal life-- without heavy testing and tracing-- the curve will shoot up again.

Like-- what do you think we have PERMANENTLY accomplished at this point? Not much. It sucks, but I cannot fathom why people think we actually squashed the virus in any meaningful way at this point. We made it so most hospitals aren't overwhelmed-- that's why you flatten the infection curve. We haven't defeated the virus-- there are many more people infected now than there were on March 10 or 15. If we are talking about the risk of illness and death, we are in worse shape to interact with one another than we were in March 15. We are MORE likely to get the disease now.[/quote]

We’re fine with the STAY AT HOME part. That was never about elimination of the virus or the risk. It was about protecting our health care systems, many of which are now do empty they’re going broke.

It’s time to move on, risks and all. I’m will to continue some social distancing but will no longer stay cooped up, locked away from friends and family. [b]We’re planning and outdoor BBQ for next week for example, for a small group.[/b] [/quote]

So the rules just don't apply to you. Awesome.[/quote]

Wow! You are so selfish. People like you are going to drag this out and put even more people at risk. If you were in NJ where I am, the police would break up your party and your name would be posted on nj.com for all to see. I am not joking. People have been publicly shamed for having weddings, parties, and surfing at the Jersey shore. The police broke up a child's birthday party in my town the other day, because there were 30+ kids and their parents and an ice cream truck in someone's front yard. The ice cream man will most likely face charges, because he is not an essential business and is not supposed to be working at parties during this time. This social distancing sucks for everyone, but it is necessary. [/quote]

i would love to see the news article about this party. I am picturing Aging Jersey Shore parents in tacky clothes.[/quote]

I'm the PP from NJ. I'm want to see the article too! It will probably be posted on nj.com any day now.[/quote]
