Don't hold your breath. I live on the Gulf Coast. Humidity has been in the 80/90 for a while now. We went from 5 cases a few weeks ago to 55. They are just now starting to test more so that number will rise rapidly.
I have been following but am no expert. However, it does appear different areas are being affected at different times.
It is hot. It is muggy........and our time is just beginning.

Your the same troll who promised several pages back that he was done with this thread. As if finally practicing the social distancing you disdain.
Which was obviously another lie to add to your ever growing wall of bogus facts and figures. The same that Gene (and others) easily push aside every time. Posts that only illustrate and reinforce some wayward notion that you instinctively know better than the rest of us. Mere utter fallacy as you attempt to prove by sheer volume and tone. In a time when respectable people have chosen to draw near. When most have pulled together and earnestly cared for each other. You shite on it.
We see their graciousness live in the news, we see the same benevolence in our families, and we read about such on every page. And into this you peddle a f--- you and foment discord. First it was spreading death is not personal. To next rallying the cry of my civil liberties which disregards the far greater right of the public to distance itself from harm. To now its death's no fear for I'll put my trust in God. With which you now seek to discredit and make low the very Christianity that's been on display. And which boarders on laying claim to who's holier than who? Now how Christian is that... mister Pharisee?
Please just go away* and quit claiming to be the man you so want to be.
(* and prove your 2nd claim of exiting was not just another lie)

Harm can mean many things to many people. Financial harm. Death. Job loss. Yours? A backyard bbq gone wrong.

Six people were cited for hosting a large backyard party of adults and children, where police found kids “playing in a bouncy castle” while a chef and two waiters readied a catered meal.
And don’t forget that the Mississippi police broke up a Drive in worship service. If the government is going to try to do that they might as well ban passengers in sedans because there is no 6 feet apart to be found throughout the vehicle.

The government has the power to track every movement and every interaction, and be more invasive of your privacy than the Patriot Act with the technology that google and apple has come up with in the fight against the spread of the coronavirus. Are the measures necessary? The burden of proof is on the government to show without a doubt why the actions are necessary.

I feel like people want a solution that gives everybody zero risks. When in reality, there’s never going to be anything that doesn’t come with some risks especially for old vulnerable people.
FYI, I don’t disagree with you I’m just trying to view all aspects of the argument “open it up and make the vulnerable figure it out.”

How is she getting those supplies in a total shutdown? She’s going out where there are people that are infected or someone is brining it to her.
This is correct, but in a shutdown there is a much small chance the people she is around or bringing her food have been exposed to the virus than if things continued as usual.
I’ll say it again, I’m on the side of opening things up sooner than later and people using common sense in that time. I think people understand the severity of the situation and how severely their actions can negatively affect, those at risk. I mean crap, there are plenty of cases of people who are not in the vulnerable category who end up hospitalized or describing it as 10x worse than the flu.
The UK and Sweden are proof that going about business as usual and quarantining the old can go bad pretty quickly if people are too casual about it.

You can easily distance yourself from harm if you so choose. 100% risk free? No. Convenient? No. But the other way around there is no choice.

I’m interested in your argument here.
In one scenario, a portion of the population knows better than everybody else and therefore can make decisions for everybody. In the other, everybody is free to make their own choice. Which of those sounds holier than thou?

I’m just venting on all the things I’ve read not necessarily your opinion. I haven’t read this thread much.
What bothers me is everyone views everything so black and white. There’s complete lockdown and there’s 100% back to normal. No in between.
They panicked when Ivey wouldn’t issue a stay at home order and screamed bloody murder but are perfectly calm now that she did. What did the stay at home order change from how we were before? Almost nothing.
Now they panic that we are “opening back up” because all they do is read that phrase and think we’re going back to normal. If you actually listen to what they said, it’s still not anywhere near normal. All they really did was allow some stores besides big box retail to open. Still limiting capacity in stores.
Then you have the states that are over policing to hell and not using any common sense in how they apply the laws. A guy gets arrested for jogging on alone which there is nothing wrong with. I don’t know why people trust the government to use common sense anymore.

This is fine, just check your facts first man. You regularly just post things that are obviously wrong.

Actually, South Korea has done a great job curtailing the virus. And they have not shut down the economy. Could be a model for states.

This all day long.
I find it hard to believe that Auburn fans, home of the Mises Institute (Libertarian think tank), are for the authoritarian crackdown that Alabama has implemented. If your ideas require a man with a gun to implement, then maybe they aren't the best ideas?
You can quarantine WITHOUT the police. You can social distance WITHOUT the police. You can get COVID testing and antibody testing WITHOUT the state/feds. I know that my stance isn't the most popular, but I don't care. If I have to step over dead bodies to get to the beach or the grocery store, I don't care. No forcible curtailing of my civil liberties is worth it. NONE.

My comments were to point out that CorchJay regularly brings false claims to this board, not really taking a side.

I agree and what I hope for us doing. Just keep in mind, South Korea's success is attributed to their aggressive early testing, case tracing + voluntary participation in social distancing. Unfortunately, we are far from what SK is doing But we are more than capable of pulling it off if committed.

This is definitely the best model to follow. Like Gene said though, the key to their success was getting it on the front end and testing very early. Hoping we can figure out a way to implement it though.

You may find this Planet Money podcast interesting "How the Burrito Became a Sandwich"
It talks about how laws can't possibly address all situations, which leads to confusing results as enforcement has to decide between intent / textual interpretation of the law.

This model still can work for us in the opening back up stage if we commit to it. Unfortunately, we have been dragging our feet on the development of testing for some reason.

The precedent of being socially conscious (by hiding out) was made for the common good. Most people, including most here recognize this is and also knew it was enacted to be temporary in nature. It wasn't stealing civil liberties.
Businesses are being ordered to close and people and businesses are being issued citations for disobeying shelter in place orders.
That’s taking away civil liberties.
Just seems there are more reasonable ways around this than forcing businesses to shut their doors.

Maybe things are different in larger cities but other than going out to dine, going clothes shopping or a few other minor businesses I can't tell any difference here in rural America. The roads are just as crowded as ever. Of course Marshall county also has one of the highest infection rates in Alabama so that's probably not much of a coincidence. People are going to do what they do.
To me the way out is through manufacturing. Masks and testing are the answers until Bill Gates vaccine/tracking chips are ready imo. Get them out there and then people can feel safe about going about their lives.

If human life means so little and liberty means so much, maybe it is time for you to pick up a weapon. You are pretty quick to compromise the lives of others in the name of "liberty". How about your own?

LOL! Von Mises was a clown. Almost all economic thought has some value since, there are no perfect systems and, we live in a very dynamic world. Von Mises believed to his dying day that he was the only one who knew how to run an economy.

Not quite there yet, but doing everything short of this at the moment. The willingness of my fellow countrymen to hand over their rights because some people are scared is amazing to me.

Do you donate to the ACLU? Not bad if you do, just curious. You are really into civil rights.

More Sweden... like I said I’ll only reply to come laugh at the sky screamers. How is it so that Sweden is so much lower in deaths per millions as opposed to neighboring countries on complete lockdown??? Since you know I bring lies and misinformation
