Yeah, seen that.
But there would be dozens, or hundreds, of example if people were seriously being stupid.
Would be be very good news if there isn’t a bump in cases soon.

First time I’ve seen floating tables for the pool to gather
around chat and drink. But it has been many, many years for
me going to the pools.

Many of the CV deniers around here keep pointing to the spring break in Florida and say “nothing to see here

....

“Deniers”...are you serious? Interesting that you CV pearl clutchers use the same verbiage that liberals use to try and shame those who don’t buy the hoax of Globull Warming! But why should this surprise me. Globull Warming and Covid-19 are both based on junk science and junk models.

Interesting that you folks find solace with the Left on COVID-19. The Fake News would be proud of you!

The big social experiment at the beaches in Florida didn’t lead to any huge outbreak anywhere. I doubt this one will, either.

Restaurants have opened at half capacity in Idaho. My wife, daughters and one boyfriend at North Idaho for the holiday and had lunch in Coeur d’Alene today. But, even in the worst of it, North Idaho was hardly hit. The three northern-most counties still haven’t had a single case!

restaurants may offer dining-in services but must adhere to social distancing and other precautionary public health measures.

If I am packed in there with a big enough bunch of fellow citizens, I am sure to be at least 6 feet away from most of them.

And the ones close to me are 6 feet away from most of them too.

Since we have no immunity to this disease, eventually a huge number of people are going to be infected. Hopefully most won’t have any symptoms and not even know they have it. The number of cases is not what should be most important. The number of hospitalizations, the number of ICU patients and the number of deaths are what really counts.

The more specific data we know about the characteristics of people needing hospitalization and, especially, dying, the better informed people’s decisions will be in making their choices about going places. Elderly people with underlying conditions may want to stay away from crowds until there is a vaccine or an effective treatment. It should still be their choice.

Run that graph higher.

You will get to 100%, even higher using the ‘scientific models.’

Didn’t I see some of these folks in the Netflix series, Ozarks? Were they all paying with cash?

Um, you are aware people are being tested and are being shown to have this antibody, right? This means they had the virus, and now have immunity to it. That’s how the body develops the antibody.

Sorry, but people like you who keep pushing your fear, hysteria, Fake News, and junk science based off crap models are to no longer be believed or listened to. People in positions of power who have your mindset have destroyed lives over this bug!

I am surprised that you think that being able to make one’s own informed decision about going various places, flying, shopping, visiting, etc. is fear or hysteria. I have thought from the beginning that the vulnerable (nursing home patients) should be protected and everyone else should be able to go about their lives, taking the risks that they felt were right for themselves, just like we do with everything else in life.

I was ok with the 15 days to flatten the curve when we did not know if the hospitals would be overrun. They were not. PDJT wanted to begin opening the country by Easter. It’s too bad he was pressured to back away from that “aspirational” comment.

“Since we have no immunity to this disease”

Hello ... thousands — probably hundreds of thousands — DO have immunity to this disease. And more are becoming immune every day.

I just saw a story about that on the local news. Crazy how packed it was! No social distancing for sure.

Of other interest, the river that goes through Noel, MO, Emergency personnel listed 23 rescues. Apparently it was also packed, people are ready to get out and about. River was high due to all the rain we’ve had so it was at a dangerous level, surprised they let people on, especially people with children, some of the rescues were of children. People are throwing ‘social distancing’ out the window.

I should have said .... Since we HAD no immunity to this disease, meaning when it first arrived in the USA.
