Well dude has stated he lived through the Iranian revolution in the late 70's so assuming that's true, I'd say he has a decent base of knowledge to make these statements.you've posted this kind of stuff several times, and your posts come off like you think that kind of full-on state-backed authoritarianism is a good thing. I'm hopeful that's not really how you meant it, but if it is, I'd have to agree with Bass there.
I don't think it does, I think we see regional/district level outbreaks but for the most part we go back to some kind of "not normal but more than what we are doing now". Just have to be smart about it and hope flubro's don't #### it up for everyone. Gonna be a lot of push back because we aren't going from 0 to 100 mph tomorrow but we gotta be patient and do this slowly.The USA has 955k active cases and who knows how many more not yet detected cases. I give it a month until it all explodes again. Not sure if the economy can handle a second mass shutdown.
Tend to agree with all thisI would say that I hope we are better prepared than we were a month ago. PPE still seems to be an issue somehow, but we certainly have more ventilators than before. I'm definitely not a flubro, but the one way I lean in their direction is I think this needs to run it's course somehow. I was never in the full lock down camp, even when I saw it coming. We never really did that as a rule anywhere, but I understood why we needed to take those precautions (curve flattening).
I think we may have waited too long to reopen too, and I blame this for the backlash we're seeing now. It's why I shared the information about boaters already saying "f it" and meeting up at a local spot like it was the 4th of July. I said at the time, "the rubber band is about to snap."
The bottom line is we cannot stay locked down forever, and instead of fighting reopening, I think we should have been doing a better job of saying, "we will reopen if __________." My personal choice for blank would be social distancing and everyone wear face coverings. The problem with masks, and I didn't care enough to remember who to tag, is that when people suggested reopening with mask requirements, people on the left of the argument would say, "masks don't work." Meanwhile, people also on this side of the argument would go out in public and complain about others not wearing masks.
Then you have people on the right acting like all of the numbers are "fake news" because they read a story where one guy overdosed or fell off a ladder and was counted as a CV death. Before places started to reopen, you could get them to begrudgingly agree to wear some sort of face covering if it meant things would reopen, but now? Good ####### luck. "Not old; not fat, bro." I suspect many are lying about the latter.
