no, it's not - he wasn't advocating it. He wasn't saying "what a horrible thing it would be" either, and his wording was somewhat callous, but it's pretty obvious to me he was giving an opinion on what might happen rather than specifically advocating for what should be done.
We have to continue to do anything we can to flatten the curve - it's inevitable that most of us are going to get it - and most of us will be fine but the rare few plus the elderly need hospitals and medical staff to be available to treat them. Just stay home people!
And she may be correct, but her statement "We know now, just the fact of community spread, says that at least 1 percent, at the very least, 1 percent of our population is carrying this virus in Ohio today" is stated as a fact, but yet it is conjecture which she provided no backup for how she derived it.
In all seriousness, why are these mutually exclusive? (Assuming competent leadership, for the sake of argument...) Why can't we take quick, decisive action that may help immediately, based on plenty of useful info from other countries, AND also create a well thought out plan for how to do deal with economic consequences for the next several years?
She didn't say 1% is a fact. She said that community spread is a fact. The existence of community spread is factual because Ohio has confirmed cases where the patients got it despite not traveling nor being exposed to a traveler. With that known fact, she presumes (see "says") that at least 1 percent have it.
It's also our ability to see on a small scale what happens to our stores during these situations. People have gotten really comfortable thinking of the store as their own personal pantry that they could raid whenever they want for whatever they want.
Quite the #######g lying. Show me where I advocated such crap. The piling on is ridiculous. I was pointing out the cold realities of the economic impact on the loss of life caused by the virus. There is no other way to read it.
I think it’s going to be hectic for a bit. A lot of folks are home from work today, and there are a lot of people who weren’t prepared and thought this wasn’t that big of a deal. Reality is setting in for a lot of people and they are going to panic.
Unfortunately with everything closing but stores I think it's going to be jammed today. I had Wednesday circled for an early morning visit. While we're ok food-wise, Woodman's is the only one that carries Faygo diet grape soda around me - so I figured I'd grab a couple of cases.
If/when they announce a nation wide shutdown we will see another run on things I would imagine. Hopefully folks will stay calm but I don't expect they will.
Do not do this. This is not going to turn into us turning on each other.
It is terrible over there. Part of Italy problem on why they are the epicenter is their society is a lot more kissy and touchy over there.
I think we're much closer to this than people realize. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we're in complete shutdown in a few weeks.
Hey Maude take it to the PSFTom Skerritt said:
That's what you're hanging your hat on?
I'm hoping that is not the case and these draconian measures, while not at the China and SK levels, stop it so we can see what it takes to stop something like this the next time it happens....and it will happen again.
please don't turn this into a #### show. You have about a dozens choices here https://forums.footballguys.com/forum/forum/49-the-politics-forum/ to do that.
Wow this is the 1st seeing this , going to search this out . My wife was told alternating between both
I think that's the norm due to being able to take them every 4 hours and can alternate (so every 2) - don't quote me on that or the other but that's what I'm also hearing - take acetaminophen only I think is the suggestion. Need one of the medical folks in here to confirm.
Of course a Popeye’s reference would follow a fecal cloud reference...death, taxes, and Popeye’s farts all guaranteed to us
