There has to be something else holding back cases down south because we have way more . Weather could be making an impact on virus ?!
245 unknown origin cases. I’m betting it’s an excel error since union and unknown are so close.Infection 2020 which I hope is very wrong.
No, but nature will (regrettably) ... ? ? ?Wife and I shopping for my parents today and as others have noted, its packed. But I see more people wearing mask, including us. Just went to a local butcher shop, it is one of the best around, anyway the level of nonchalant almost arrogant attitude in there about this was surprising. The place was packed, absolutely no social distancing and I was the only person with a mask on. One regular customer walked in and started joking about 6', 6' and the cashier said not in here and they just laughed, then he walked up and shook the owner's hand. This is why this thing cannot get under control. You can't fix stupid
Back to one?245 unknown origin cases. I’m betting it’s an excel error since union and unknown are so close.
yes it is ... right up any idiot's nose who wants to socialize ...![]()
Georgia governor opens beaches a day after issuing statewide stay-at-home order
“I understand that people are highly stressed now, but the vitriol is unwarranted,” Tybee state Rep. Jesse Petrea said.news.yahoo.com
Stuff like this means this virus is not going nowhere anytime soon.
People don't follow recommended directions because they don't have any common sense. Keeping beaches open increases the chances of the virus spreading. It doesn't matter if it spreads among just 'dumb' people. Those dumb people might know smart or innocent people that would get infected all because of this beach order.No reason to close the beach. If you can’t follow directions then that’s your own damn fault. Just keep your distance from others and everyone will be fine. If your gonna not do that then I don’t have sympathy for being dumb.
True.yes it is ... right up any idiot's nose who wants to socialize ...
If we can't trust people to use common sense, then we just can't help ourselves. Those "dumb" people are not going to be leaving us anytime soon, so I don't see it changing much. Closing the beach isn't going to change anything in the grand scheme of things. People are going to do whatever they want. Unless the set up police everywhere and make sure nobody leaves there house this isn't going to end. I went to target today and the driving range, and both were absolutely packed. People are not going to stay home regardless, so whats the point of all this?People don't follow recommended directions because they don't have any common sense.

Target and the driving range are private businesses though. These beaches are public property, and in many cases the local government had already made decisions to close them. Controlling access to those in the name of public safety makes sense, and sets a good example. Even if you consider it going overboard in an abundance of caution, isn't that better than not doing enough?If we can't trust people to use common sense, then we just can't help ourselves.

Opinion | In the American South, a Perfect Storm Is Gathering (Published 2020)
In states with many uninsured citizens, few hospitals and leaders who have not required citizens to stay home, a disaster is looming.www.nytimes.com
Hopefully wrong but I'm afraid it is probably correct.
Finally, on April 2, Mr. Lee acknowledged epidemiological reality and issued a stay-at-home order. The rest of the red-state governors will also capitulate to reality before this is all over. But the time for decisive action has long since passed, and their delays, like the president’s, will end up costing thousands of lives.
Damn block party going on down the street; called the cops since they have lots of kids there - mostly under 6 years; cops were sympathetic on the phone; they never came ... despite violating local and State SIP orders![]()

I agree that it sets a good precedent. But if people are still not going to follow the rules and socially interact anyways, then what’s it matter?Target and the driving range are private businesses though.

I see your point, but how far do you take that? What about traffic laws? Some people don't follow those, and speed and drive recklessly anyways. If some people aren't going to follow those laws, then what's the point of having them anyway?I agree that it sets a good precedent.

Perfect response. Wouldnt have mattered cause they wouldnt have let anyone in to help or if they where inside china they would have muzzled,kicked out. Another nice try Shaggy.We have been reactive in this front the beginning. All the tools we had to prevent these have been scaled back. This was a disastrous response to this.
