There's an entire strategy that's proven to work, and almost everyone else has managed it:
Wear masks, practice social distancing, utilize widespread testing, isolate cases, and contact trace. Once the Ro number is well under 1 fully open everything, but continue risk mitigation strategies until the virus is fully contained.
This disaster should have been avoided.
And it's not all on leadership. It's also on dumb-arse citizens, Q-Anon conspiracy douchebags, anti-mask/anti-vax/anti-science moroniacs, and of course the famous Karens pouting at your local Wal-Mart because being asked to wear a thin piece of cloth is the most horrible oppression they've ever experienced.
They, along with leadership, all get credit for making 2020 the masterpiece of ineptness and dysfunction we've all come to loathe. And now they're going to cost us CFB.

There was actual, hard fricking evidence of what he was impeached over. His own administration even admitted it.
He pulled troops out of Syria and abandoned our allies to be invaded by Turkey.
He called South Koreans “terrible people” and praised Kim in the same rant.
He praises Xi all the damn time.
He praises Modi (even had him as a guest at a rally), a man notorious for enacting explicitly anti-Islam legislation and kicking off religious persecution in India
He has not shown an ounce of leadership in a global pandemic. Even worse, he has spread conspiracy theories and bad information on Twitter.
Spoiler alert: Trump will be in the top 5 worst rankings in probably about 20 years. Nixon is sleeping easy in his coffin knowing that people will soon forget about his scandals.
Trump supporters will not be remembered as “patriots”. You fools will be remembered no differently than the fools that were against the civil rights movement.
Don’t be triggered. “It is what it is.”

All I can say is most people are taking it seriously and cases are still exploding.
Not much death though.

No idea where you live but we still have people proudly posting against mask wearing, not just the idea of mandates.

We've had a mandatory mask mandate for awhile now.

Many places do but sadly some still don't care. In the other thread a guy was bragging about finding places that don't enforce the policy because he refuses to wear one.

Businesses actually enforce it here

I sure a 99% do, but not everyone does and that is sort of expected. Why that other poster pointed out that its on individuals and not just government. Sad we have to have a mandate anyway.

My point is that we actually have more cases one month in from a mask mandate than we did before.

I understand that but the person you were originally pointing to called out average people
"And it's not all on leadership. It's also on dumb-arse citizens"
Thats why I was bringing up that other guy who looks for business to shop at that don't enforce it. People like that are making it harder long term on us.

I'm actually curious to see what the city is so I can actually look at the numbers but I get if you don't want to say

The fact that you say that tells me you don't really know what you're taking about. That's not a dig at you, btw.
1. Your city isn't an island.
2. Testing results are too slow to effectively contact trace.
3. Even if those results came faster we don't have the infrastructure to trace effectively with so many cases.
This is one of those things that get harder and more expensive to address the longer we wait.
If we had taken all of those measures when we had 500 cases it would be very manageable, and an office of 30 people could have made the calls to trace effectively. Instead we stuck our heads in the sand and now were looking at 4 times that in new cases every hour.
We're talking upwards of 30-50 calls per case to do it right. America is currently not a country that can quickly stand up that kind of operation. We're just not.

I hope some people will read this and understand the situation.
I think our only hope at this point is to restrict interstate travel and contact trace within communities.
We need to hold CFB and NFL seasons and ban bars from showing the games - encouraging people to stay home.
