I'am slightly starting to think we do way too much against the covid19 for some specific things. I know this is a very contagious virus, but sometimes it seems the logic is thrown out the window.
- i'm curious what you think is too much, like some specific things? I agree a bit when it came to closing parks and open spaces which you can social distance safcapn_ron
- Refer to the Japanese flu from the 50s for a alternative approach. The mortality rate, numbers of dead, etc seem similar to our current pandemic.MondoMorphic
- some people seems to think that virus is literally jumping from people to people. Lots of paranoia. And its normal i guess with all the news since months now.Bennn
- How strict is the lockdown where you're at? I feel like I see people on TV protesting, but then I talk to my family back in USA and their lives are basicallyyuekit
- So much of the problem early on was the lack of understandingMondoMorphic
- normal with a few minor restrictions.yuekit
- It's important not to let a non-elected person dictate the health policy of an entire country. Yes Bill Gates I'm talking about you and your hobbies.robotron3k
- Meanwhile in Spain people were literally trapped inside their homes. I don't think Americans or Canadians ever went through something like that.yuekit
- But all of this has been politicized. Look at party tits Cuomo, what a turd he is. I'd like him to step up and try Washington, they will eat his lunch.robotron3k
- Ask yourself if you want the virus. I personally don't want to risk it. Sure could be mild. Could also be permanent damage and weeks in an ICU.shapesalad
- For sure, the politicization has been awfulMondoMorphic
- So while tiring to have all these measures. I'd rather have them than the virus. Next you can ask yourself if you want to pass the virus onto your family...shapesalad
- I was just looking to see if I could have a bonfire on the bay here and there is no stopping, sitting, or laying down. only moving is allowed.capn_ron
- Once you think through those two questions you start to calm down and think yep, lockdown ok, at least we're in an industry where you can WFH anywhere.shapesalad
- we're preparing for another spanish flu of 1918, see if we can practice safe measures before the Tsunami hits in the fall, so far they're tracking the same._niko
- I'm guessing it'll be more like the 50s' Japanese flu, but you could be right, _niko. Who knows how covid will mutate.MondoMorphic
- Winter is Coming!utopian
- It's like complaining about seatbelts. Cos fatality rates are way lower than expected.inteliboy
- Well at least in most countries. Except USA with 100k+ deaths.inteliboy
- @yuekit Um, Seattle was a vector city and I have been on lockdown for almost 5 months now. It has completely changed virtually every aspect of my daily life.garbage
- And there is a political aspect because this dumbfuck administration completely bungled this in multifaceted ways.garbage
- Yeah fair point garbage, I'm sure it depends on your job, daily life, whether you have kids etc. However I do think that for all the protests and even with theyuekit
- highest number of deaths in the world, people in USA never saw a total lockdown like some countries did.yuekit
- isn't quebec getting hit pretty hard? maybe not enough is being done?pango
- 2013 new cases in the UK, even without adequate testing, 412 deaths yesterday and things are opening up next week...webazoot
- I would not be surprised if we hit 200k before year's end. Things are warming up, people are getting bored. Cases are ramping in CA and southern states..garbage
- ..and that outpaces older models for a second wave. Fall is going to suck in a big way.garbage
- 5 months!? woah, didn't know that, even Spain and Italy weren't under extreme lockdown anywhere near that long.fadein11
- That is hard.fadein11
- Pretty sure he meant five weeks? Five months ago would be before all this started.yuekit
- I know obviously...fadein11
- No, since late January. I know people that work in the medical community here, and they were worried about this in December.garbage
- But yeah, five months. I haven't seen any of my friends in five months. Neither have they. So when people spout ignorance on the topic, I tend to get irritated.garbage
- So if I've been coming in hot here lately, it's because it's been just me, my girlfriend, her loud-ass keyboard and the dogs since the beginning of the year.garbage
