  14. @Milo Kaye "Gov. Ron DeSantis in Florida is starting to re-open beaches, and they don't even have the virus under control there; they have nearly 30,000 cases and they're currently in a plateau. If you loosen guidelines during a plateau, cases will start to go up again." You go at your own risk. Why shouldn't people be allowed to go to beaches? If you are so concerned than stay home. Also, as I said, there is evidence that the virus is not that deadly. And there is also evidence that warmer weather alleviates the spread. "South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster said that next week SC will start to re-open beaches and retail stores. Right now they only have about 4,500 cases, and you can expect those to start going up once they re-open." Same with FL. Also, there isn't any data that shows a correlation between locking down and lack of spreading. But to add, at some point you have to trust people will do the right thing. Open the beaches and let people decide. You can't just use the strong hand of government and continue to force people to do what you want. "Georgia Governor Brian Kemp said that as soon as tomorrow, gyms, barbershops, and hair stylists can re-open. He said that theaters and restaurants will follow on Monday. " Great, which is what we need. We are in a position that we have vacant hospital beds, that we have to lay hospital staff off as we have too many. And again, the virus might not be that deadly. Let GA open up and let us see what happens. If nothing bad happens than great, we can proceed to going back to normal. And again, you don't have to go to the hair salon or the gym if you are concerned. "If you look back to the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918, there were instances of some parts of the country ending quarantine early and very quickly, the number of cases exploded. Philadelphia was an example of this." 1918 was a different time in terms of technology and data collection and information. We are much more informed with better technology. "There are also widespread protests going on around the country, predominantly by people who are of the political right. This will inevitably lead to a spike in cases. The overwhelming majority of them were holding up Trump signs and Tea Party flags." Will it though? I do not see it. And again, a lot is suggesting the virus is not that deadly as in a study done in Santa Clara County, in USC and in Germany.

  25. @Milo Kaye at the beginning I understand the shut down. But more information of the virus is coming out. Some suggesting it is not as deadly as originally thought. Now you have a situation where the economy is tanking and people can't pay bills. And the government cannot just give money away as that will destroy the dollar. Since the shut down here is what has happened 1. Our hospitals are caught up. We have vacant beds and too much staff. In many places other, temporary, beds were put in place and none were use. Thus in healthcare we have enough resources. 2. This virus is not as deadly as we originally thought. Data from NY, Germany, Santa Clara and USC suggest it has a much lower death rate. 3. Now we have to decide what is worse, the bad economy or the virus? 4. Also, we have to realize who is dying because of the virus. With the virus being not as deadly as we thought, and 92% deaths are people 55 and older. Where the death rate is higher with higher age. And how well over 95% of the deaths are either people who are old or pre-existing conditions, we need to strongly conisider reopening the economy. The risk appears to be lower now and the reality is that 20, 30 and 40 year olds should not suffer because an 80 year old person, who is going to die soon anyway, can live. This is the harsh reality in life. In economics we have opportunity costs all the time. Consider driving. 40,000 people die a year in traffic accidents. We can make that number to be zero if we ban driving, but that will harm the economy. Thus we accept 40,000 deaths a year to allow people to drive. Same with the virus. Sorry, but the reality is that some life is worth more than others. A 20 year old losing their job, being stressed, having an uncertain future, and falling into depression is not worth saving an 80 year old. People have died early due to being unemployed. So yes, we need to start reopening the economy.
