Dark winter
Coming from someone who saw issues first hand with family and friends, included deceased and further including too young category (RIP all and this is still a very serious issue we are dealing with) .....agreed
No the stay home thing started a decade ago and I’d say 25% followed
Ohhhh you’re talking about the kids that are actually in person learning.
Isn't it ironic how they create an entirely self-inflicted "crisis" just in time for a new guy to come in and take credit for the bounce back that would naturally occur anyway?
600,000 Americans are dead and millions worldwide, and you’re using quotes around crisis...
for what its worth i know a covid ward nurse who has said there were many times her hospital was at capacity over the last few months in CT. its case by case across hospitals apparently. now, do they send them away to another hospital? id hope ao
I think you are wrong on that point.....if we had taken those stricter measures to prevent the spread initially, bought valuable time and had a better focused treatment plan, then that would translate into less spread in the fall. We would have also learned valuable information re: tracing early on which would have helped the CDC and state governments put appropriate travel restrictions in place. We literally had no data to make those decisions so governors were just making stuff up based on what they thought was right (which we now know was a recipe for disaster).
A hospital being "at capacity" and being overwhelmed are two different things. Hospitals in certain areas at certain times of the year run at capacity....regardless of COVID. In addition, most hospitals are part of multi-facility systems and after the initial surge in the spring, most designated one or two facilities to receive COVID patients. Since June, any hysteria you saw on the MSM about hospitals being overwhelmed was pure horse shit. Yes, there were a handful (like rural hospitals that only had 15-20 beds, etc.), but to make it look like a national healthcare crisis was just more fake news.
Because if you had fewer people exposed or having the disease early on, you would have fewer infected people transmitting the disease.
Part of a treatment plan is isolating the patient to prevent spread. Remember, Cuomo was sending infected patients that were treated in a hospital back to nursing homes, where they........transmitted the disease to other residents and care givers?
I don’t disagree on March-May shutdown in our area, generally
Government picked the winners and losers without any science involved. One industry that's been decimated is the private transit/tour bus industry. Of the 3,000 companies that were in business before, only 2,200 remain...wiped out 30% of the industry, most family run, multi-generational businesses.
wait i thought half of the people who have it are asymptomatic or dont even need treatment? right. cuomo had that one move but generally weve been saying to isolate the entire time.
Let's hope so. Also, the party has either now gotten or laid the groundwork for the wealth transfers, all of which gets tied to COVID somehow. There may be one more they want to try, but once that passes hopefully things proceed. I'm still skeptical the public school unions - at least in states like NJ/NY -- won't try to leverage this more come fall for different benefits or packages, with partial closings, shorter days and/or remote instruction being part of that. My kid's will likely be in Catholic School by that point but I'll feel for my neighbors if it happens.
It was, because were the airlines got massive subsidies the bus industry got virtually nothing.
Really don’t understand the point you were trying to make. The reason why it spread so fast early on is because we had so many unforeseen super spreader events early on. Like the guy in New York that came back from China, went to a party and infected a whole bunch of people. The town of New Rochelle was a hotspot early on. Throwing a net over that city would have prevented the spread early on.
