What makes people think it wont flair up when 20 plus students go to a small city?
I bet it has a domino effect. If one school gets it, they cancel one by one.

It will. The question is how we handle the second inevitable spike. We should have made a plan to live safely through this. Right now we have no plan. It’s shutdown or outbreak. No middle ground.

college football is a couple months away anything can happen, I'm not going to waste my time worrying about that, but there will be temperature screening testing and social distancing I hope that makes everybody feel better good God.
most schools can't afford to cancel college football it makes too much money and supports a hell of a lot of other programs besides football

Too many out and about not wearing masks
Everyone in China wears them
New normal
Get used to it
Once there is a vaccine there will be a shortage for awhile

How does anyone know that masks work?

I’ll take the fact that Georgia has reopened with relatively no spike as a sign that PPEs work pretty well

It’s so stupid why the states and the federal government are blowing off the testing part of this. To live with this you need readily available easy accurate tests and do it constantly. This whole hoping for the miracle cure vaccine is retarded
These schools would be fine if there was a testing protocol etc. but the president is fighting against that for whatever reason. My god. And all the governors only plan is to never have anyone do anything
Obama said it right love him or hate him. There is no one out there even pretending to be a leader
Have a fricking plan. Fauci. Trump. State government. Shut down. Is not a fricking plan

The problem is being a leader in this would have involved going in front of the country or state from the beginning, and saying “things are going to be bad all around.”
Instead they were like “only a few weeks so no one dies.” Then they kept adding a few more weeks. Now people are frustrated and going back to a normal life with no safeguards at all when some parts of the country have extremely high number of cases and we’re about to hit 100k deaths. And we have a president telling churches to fill up. On national television. Just insanity, man.
If they would have come up with a plan on what the biggest spread vectors were and said from the get-go that they were gonna need to stop for a while, then we would have a much brighter future than we do now. Instead we have a destroyed economy and a pandemic that’s just getting warmed up.

There is a distinct lack of social responsibility by a decent segment of the population and effective leadership could certainly help right about now. Population dense areas seem to have the biggest issues and may need to remain sheltered in place for a bit but the rest of the country seems to be managing now that folks have begun to venture out. There also seems to be a correlation between being mindful of wearing a mask and washing your hands while also going about business. Problem is when people refuse to do so out of an obnoxious sense of contrarianism and sense of misplaced morality. We have proven that we can in fact function beyond a shelter in place order while we wait for a vaccine if everyone would just do the simplest task of being considerate to those around them and wear a fricking mask.

I don’t disagree with you
The only thing about the pandemic getting warmed up only matters if the healthcare system can’t hack it
I don’t want to be cold about this but nobody is going to care to the point of shutting down etc if the average age of death is 77 or fat people. If you start to see large numbers of young or mid age work force people starti dying than this country will really freak out
But right now people who work or people who go to school are generally not at risk and their lives could be ruined for various reasons. Not this sickness. And those people still have a long time on earth god willing
We are going to look back on this as a self made disaster.

The problem has never been how at risk the young and healthy are but what risk they could pose to the old and immune compromised without knowing it. There are a ton of younger people with asthma, diabetes, heart conditions, cancer, etc and you’d never know it just looking at them. There are also a ton of younger people who live with older parents or grandparents and significant others or children with immune disorders.
Telling the at risk to stay home doesn’t mean much when they share a home with someone who is healthy and needs to work. Which is why taking precautions even if you’re not at risk is essential; it’s not about you but about who you could hurt without ever knowing you’re passing something along.

I do agree with you Tyler about self aware after neasures that we can all do. One of the good things about this shutdown is it made everyone aware that this was a real issue and that you abound take precautions such as masks not only for yourself but your fellow man

How does anyone know that masks work?
There have been studies and there is also proof in the real world.
one study followed community transmission of SARS in Beijing. It found that consistently wearing a mask in public was associated with a 70% reduction in the risk of catching SARS.

It really makes sense just thinking about from a common sense standpoint. filtering the air you breath in will stop you from breathing in junk you don't need. And likewise, a sick person wearing a mask will keep the virus within their mask rather than blowing out all into the air around them.
