It is definitely working in Utah. I think it is working too well. 3,600 confirmed cases and 34(?) deaths out of a population of 3.2 million. We are engineering a huge 2nd wave.

mugtang Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I’m so glad the police are protecting us from these hardened criminals: https://www.ajc.com/news/sting-operation-nabs-after-salon-services-offered-during-lockdown/bqP6LzRPnvKIYH2VWD0f2H/ Quote Police in Laredo, Texas, conducted a sting operation to catch two women accused of offering salon services at their homes in defiance of the city’s strict orders to social distance during the pandemic, according to several reports. Ana Isabel Castro-Garcia, 31, and Brenda Stephany Mata, 20, were arrested and charged with violation of emergency management plans and are being held at the Webb County Jail on $500 bond, respectively, according to KGNS-TV, the NBC affiliate in Laredo.

Where are all of the people that were so worried about Trump becoming the next authoritarian dictator for life? This is real life authoritarianism, not the stuff they imagined Trump might do.

son of a gun Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 In comparison to the 1 time "stimulus" check of $1200, more civilized countries during this pandemic, are paying 70-80% of out of work people's paychecks during the duration so that people don't starve, don't needlessly endanger themselves or others, or worry about their bills.

It sounds like things are going to open up... some things already have. May 1st is the date. As long as people are semi-smart about how we go about it I think (hope) we’ll be OK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think that folks feel like they have sacrificed and the outcome should be no virus. It won't be the case. It may never be the case. I am hopeful for the Stockholm result. I can't see SLC turning into NYC. If the virus depends on TRAX to spread, no one may ever catch Covid in Utah again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what is going to happen, but I think it is time to start re-opening western states. The day has been ruled by case counts and death counts, largely coming from NYC and the areas it impacts. Over the next week or two, Q1 economic data is going to start trickling out. People may be surprised at how much damage shutting down for just part of March did for the entirety of Q1. We are going to be able to compare the cure to the disease and folks can decide which is worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
