Coronovirus IV

Fauci handed it to Rand Paul.

Fouci's point about Sweden isn't really a valid argument. It's not a valid counterpoint to say that the reason you can't compare Sweden to the US is because Sweden did worse than other Scandinavian countries. Okay, fine. You've proven an irrelevant conclusion. If the point is that Sweden didn't do mass lock-downs, and they fared better than the US, so therefore lock-downs aren't necessary to have an outcome better than ours. So it doesn't matter how well Sweden did compared to other countries. It matters that Sweden did better than the US and without the same measures we took here. That's not to say the "Sweden" logic is completely sound though. A similar and relevant counter-point involving the other Scandinavian countries would be that they did better than both the US and Sweden with lock-downs.

Fouchi's point on NY was a bazinga though.

Restaurants can open at 100% capacity...

BUT...

They are to continue enforcing the 6' social distancing rule.

I can't think of many places I frequent that have the square footage to pull this off at 100%.

One of my favorite local joints hasn't bothered opening for dine in through any of the previous stages because of this. They judged that they couldn't maintain the 6' rule, even at 25% capacity.

The little corner bar near me has been packed (full parking lot plus overflow onto the street). They've got outdoor seating as well, but I rarely see more than a couple of people using it. It's tiny. No way they've been maintaining "social distancing" rules. I say bully for them.

When they opened businesses up partially, the wife and I were biking along the river in Jeffersonville and saw a pizza place with an outdoor porch packed to the gills. Ain't no social distancing happening there. Just a loud crowd of people liftin' beers and eating pizza and generally having a good ole time.

People in Australia have been having a tussle over the issue of closing, distancing, masking.
Their version of our Democrat Party is an interesting comparison. Perhaps the Democrats will take notice.

Well, enough people to be loud enough who bothered to show up to that rally at least.

In my experience, no one likes the masks, but it's not such a huge deal for most.

It's less that the masks per se are a huge deal, but rather that Governors are using extra-constitutional power to mandate mask-wearing.

 

[JettaKnight]

every person i talk to are sick of them and think they are stupid.....

It is possible to have that opinion and think they are effective.

 

[HoughMade]

It is possible to have that opinion and think they are effective.

...and that they are a good idea in enclosed areas where staying distanced is not possible, but should not be mandated.

Sick of them, stupid, AND effective?

I guess you'd have to tell me your definition and application of "stupid".

So, are they all dead now? I keep waiting for lanes to open up on the freeway

This^^^ as well as feeling like a tool being used to maintain the WuVid hysteria, likely for nefarious purpose

 

[NKBJ]

Nefarious is adequate. Less opprobrious than deserved but it'll do.

I doubt it. They all looked like they were in their 20s. Almost no one in their 20s died from the rona. And of course, old ****ers typically don't hang out on the porch of pizzerias.

I thought I posted the word of the day in the other thread. It'll probably be added to the filter now.

As well we all should be.


Show me the bodies.
