Can no one decide what the situation is anymore. Georgia is open and we are fine, and so is Texas etc. tired of everyone saying US will suffer for reopening during the pandemic. I’m all for safety, taking precaution but come on, let’s stop telling people stay home, enough already.

I believe there is a good amount of incubation period. Let's wait a few weeks and see if there is a tick up in hospitalization.

Glad those who are calling to open the economy are willing to put money where their mouth is at and be the first ones to reopen. I'm just gonna sit tight and see if they drop dead. If not, awesome, if yes, maybe another year of eating Uber Eats

This. Deaths are a lagging indicator. We'll know how this actually went a few weeks from now.

Totally agreed. The whole thing is just bill gates and new word order trying to give everyone the mark of the beast - vaccine. Check out plandemic and the book of revelation. Enough is enough. We demand freedom and our constitutional rights back!

OP -  I agree that the binary choice of opening vs being safe is total BS. The really simple alternative is everybody wears a mask, we roll out mass periodic testing, and we institute mandatory digital contact tracing so that we can very selectively trigger isolation measures when there is a positive test. Unfortunately, no one wants that infringement on their rights, and neither political party is willing to take up that banner. If Trump, Pelosi, and a bunch of the governors held hands and said this is what we are doing… People would friggin do it and we could go about somewhat normal lives, with small pockets of folks asked to isolate for brief periods when a case popped up to prevent an outbreak.

The US population is pretty resilient, and has historically accepted far more stringent impositions to battle common enemies.

SAD1 - Unfortunately, that is not the media experience for the vast majority of people. Agree if that were what we were hearing, it wouldn’t be overblown. Instead we’re getting sensationalized headlines about cases going up, blood on the hands of Trump/Florida governor/Georgia governor, young people with no underlying conditions dying, doubt about the effectiveness of antibodies against all scientific evidence, and the like.

Agree. People who disagree with reopening seem to be actively rooting for complete mayhem in GA, FL, and TX. Even day it doesn't happen, they come up with the following theories: people are staying home in spite of their "stupid" governors (they aren't), sick people are being prevented from being tested to suppress the numbers (they aren't), or the king of the conspiracy theories, these states are just making up low numbers.

like

Populations are comparable. Slightly higher in MD+CT, along with more cases. In any case, I’m not claiming the testing is too low. I’m saying the uptick is worrying. Everything happens on a delay. The 10-14 days also delays the effects of being closed. So you can’t necessarily compare to the days before reopening. And the 10-14 days isn’t precise either since it’s not like life went back to normal that day. Mobility started going up. Let’s see if this is an anomaly or something worse. But I don’t think it’s a clear cut story of “we can reopen with no problems” yet

Agreed, the hoax keeps getting worse.
