DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Palus Politicus Covid-19: The Pandemic Where Facts are Political

Florida's New Case count was just outside top5 for the US yesterday (25May).

You're right. With social distancing and quarantine they predicted only about 61,000 people would die. Since states stopped doing that we're closing in on 100,000 with no end in sight.

You do realize that when they predicted cases would be going up, and now they're going up, that made them right, right?

Nobody is rooting for it to happen. It's just that some of us are trying to warn idiots to keep them from killing themselves and those they love.

You know that can't be true. It's just the media reporting it.

"What we have here is a failure to communicate. Some people you just can't reach."

You are again wrong. The social distancing was to prevent the hospitals from being over run. That has happened. Time to start living life again. Unless you are someone who is at risk then you should continue to shelter in place.

We cannot hide out forever that is crazy. We have to work!We have to live. Sheltering in place is not living.

That's not what anybody has said. The entire thing is very simple. There were guidelines in place for reopening. 14 days without an increase in cases for a state to begin to reopen. Stage one as they call it. Then, if you go another 14 days without increased cases, you advance to stage two. And so on.

You act as if those guidelines were not put in place for safety and hospitals in other places not to be overrun. It's already starting to happen.

With Some ICUs At Capacity, Alabama Accelerates Its Reopening

You make idiotic claims as if some wanted to shelter in place forever or until a vaccine is found. That's simply a lie. People simply want it done in a safe and responsible manner.

But it looks like you are getting your way and the entire nation will pay the price for it. As of right now it looks like the red states will not fare well in the coming months. Don't say you weren't warned.

DofD is correct. These stages were rolled out in order to prevent Italy from happening here. At the risk of sounding cold, people that are high risk are high risk whether they get sick now, or tomorrow, next week, or next month. What we were trying to prevent was our hospital systems from being overrun and patients suffering and dying because capacity was stretched too thin to treat everyone.

And it's already beginning to happen again in Alabama because the reopening guidelines have been ignored.

Yet if we do a full release on everything then we an get overrun just like Italy did.

There's a balance between no restrictions and total lockdown. Wish everyone could recognize this.

What makes you think there are no restrictions?

There are plenty of restrictions. I see restrictions everywhere I go.

No state has opened up without restrictions.

Now, if people follow the restrictions or not is an entirely different matter.

People will do what they want and not listen to the Government.
A lot of what you are complaining about is a people problem, and not that the Government didn't put restrictions in place.

I didn't mean to imply a full reopening. More of a gradual return to something that resembles normalcy with precautions in place.

JMHO, you are correct sheltering isn't life as we knew it....however IF you want to maximize your chances of NOT getting infected with killing pandemic WITH NO KNOW CURE, you should keep your odds high. I'm old, 72, but my greatest fear isn't dying, but infecting my 4 yr old granddaughter who we see regularly. I live in Fl outside Tampa. Just like rest of country we have lots of people doing right thing, CDC distancing, and about 20% not doing much.....what to believe, doctor stated he did everything right yet got disease thru his EYES on flight he "had to be on".
If thru his eyes, unlucky enough to walk/sit thru it being recirculated thru the plane....bottomline, we can MORE than exist while using our brains to live and no spread this stuff if we chose to....my hope is no young/children die and only old guys/gals like me go, BUT that isn't the reality. Keep your kids and love ones as safe as you can until there is a cure.
Pray for one. Peace.

So Trump wants to pack the heads of the republican party into tight max capacity conditions at the republican national convention?

Priceless.

That is not true. Hospitals generally keep their beds full. It has nothing to do with Covid.

Hospitals do not keep their ICU beds full. They don’t regularly have to ship people miles and miles away to be put in ICU beds at other hospitals. Don’t be absurd.

Thats funny cause wasnt it the INSANE PELOSI that stood in china town in her district w/o social distancing no mask weeks after Trump shut down CHINA from entering and claiming how safe it was and TRUMP was a racist, maybe that example is being followed.
There lies my cynicism.....

Ha! Davante Adams out there casually calling them out.

He kinda looked like Cory Synder!

Lol......he did!

Yeah all of the increased numbers they were talking about they just made up. This is why it's so hard to have an actual informed conversation with some people. Did you even bother to read the article quoting the mayor of Birmingham?

Because the same guy who said we currently have 15 cases and it will soon go down to 0 knows best.

Some people will still admire a want to be dictator who threatens, fires and mocks anyone who even attempts to hold him accountable. They will still support a man who lies to them consistently even when American lives are at stake. They will only care about what they want over country. Sad...

I expect this local bunch to be the absolute last ones to get it- if they ever get it at all, that is.

You really need to get out more.

We interrupt to announce the Stock Market Soared Today as Investors Celebrate the Reopening of America!

We now return you to this Fear Mongering thread.

Fixed it for ya ...

You failed to comprehend, again.

It was a celebration of the reopening of America.

Bringing an end to Democrat House Arrest is something to be celebrated.

Take your own advice.
Do it without a mask.

If you're such a believer, please feel free to lick a doorknob and hand rail or two, while you're at it.

pffffffffft.

There are still people yammering about a day's gain in the stock market? It's obvious that whether it's up or down isn't an indicator of the health of the economy. Tomorrow could very easily double up the losses and wipe everything out. For almost the last year, we've seen huge swings all over the place.

Yep there goes big biz...shrugging off 100000 dead and 40000000 unemployed Taking loans from tax paying Americans while mom and pops all over the country lock their doors and hang a gone out of business sign in their windows. Yep the stock market is fine. The rich have abandoned us. We aren’t in this together.

Our leaders have failed us.

President Trump marked a “sad milestone” on Thursday, after the United States reported more than 100,000 deaths due to the novel coronavirus, sending “sympathy & love” to those who have lost friends and family members.

“We have just reached a very sad milestone with the coronavirus pandemic deaths reaching 100,000,” Trump tweeted Thursday morning. “To all of the families & friends of those who have passed, I want to extend my heartfelt sympathy & love for everything that these great people stood for & represent. God be with you!”

His 'clue phone' rings all day, but he never picks it up.
