Public Shaming During Coronavirus Crisis

if only we were more like china.

Yes. Then we could have fast tracked a vaccine and tested it on our citizens

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Ours does.
The county name is on the bottom.
Are you saying you all don't?
Why not

It would get in the way of our state motto: "We Want Your Money!"

spoke to nurse that lives across the street from us and he said the biggest problem are the young people who are not taking this seriously enough.

he has been working ER 6 days a week and they were told that the next week or so is going to be real bad . got a long way to go. it's going to last several more months by design so that the health care system can keep up.

Sweden has a different approach. no lockdown , let the virus sweep thru as fast as it can and be over with it. only time will tell which approach is better.

It’s also not true. No gatherings over 50 people. Over 70 population recommended to shelter in place. Recommending work from home if possible. Not overly strict but similar to everywhere else.

Perfect! Sounds like what me and @DriveInDriveOut are hoping for rather than a continued economic shutdown here in the US.

Each county in your state has its own license plate?

Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota all have delineators which indicate to a degree if you are a out of county visitor or not.

24000 deaths by flu out of 39,000,000 cases.

comes out to 0.0006% if people can't understand the math ......

I think they’ve changed their plan in recent days. Netherlands tried the herd immunity thing and their death rate soared. There’s probably a reasonable middle ground between total lockdown and pretend nothing’s wrong. Unfortunately the US is probably too late for that.

 

[BrownArmy]

There’s no county designation on MA plates.

Everyone is equally a Masshole.

I don't get the theory of limiting groups to 50 or less. a group is a group .

Let’s restaurants stay open but not stadiums.

No one should be closer than six feet to anyone else at this point.

Social distancing.

I mean, how close were you to the audience when you were on the pole?

Same thing.

Might want to double-check those numbers...

 

[Fenris]

Might want to double-check those numbers...

She's only off by a factor of 100.

That is not at all similar to our approach.

Uh....no. There are definitely varying degrees of Massholidness. Those who live in the Berkshires are much more tolerable than those who live closer to Boston.
