So what are everyone’s thoughts on reopening? I know as of 4/22 Massachusetts only has 21 deaths in the under 50 age group. I think time to re-open but precautions in place and elderly stay quarantine

Michigan here, our area is laying off nurses in hospitals because we don’t have enough cases to keep people busy. I think a mid May opening with social distancing and masks is a reasonable goal to attain and provide some positive feelings among people who are currently hurting financially, in faith and emotionally certainly

Texas here - hoping our governor announces our reopening plan either tomorrow our Monday. Currently, we’ve already reopened parks, allowed elective surgeries, and all retail stores can operate curbside pickup starting tomorrow.

I think re-opening early May with precautions (ie masks, distance) and enforcing capacity are appropriate (ie a restaurant can operate with 50% capacity, a salon can open by appointment, etc) and will ensure the situation doesn’t get out of control. Then slowly ease those restrictions over the coming weeks. Additionally, I’ve heard Texas suggest all hospitals need to ensure minimum 25% of capacity is available for any incoming COVID patients.

Echo Michigan on the lay-offs occurring at hospitals. Texas peaked over a week ago and capacity the entire time has remained quite low.

Yes, “re-open” with precautions. Wear masks, practice social distancing where possible, and quarantine the elderly/risky demographics.

Evidence is all over the place but some analysis of super spreader events all points to close, mass congregations in close spaces involving people singing/talking loudly. Not quietly sitting in a movie theater or office.

Masks will help a ton.

I think it’s great. Our governor has reopened but that hasn’t stopped the authoritarian mayors from keeping their cities shutdown.

My state is extended through 5/31, but you’re absolutely right about authoritarian mayors.

It’d be helpful for the feds to tell state and local governments what measures they can’t take in response to the virus

Fiancé is a nurse, her hospital has had about 30 cases, no deaths in the last 2 months. She’s been mandated 9 times (3 full weeks of work) in the last 6 weeks. We are in probably one of the most popular counties in Michigan outside of the Detroit area. Full lockdown doesn’t seem fitting for the full state as it does to focus mostly on Detroit area.

Haha you share the same sentiments of my boyfriend. He still lives in metro Detroit and he was looking forward to doing all of these home improvement projects but nope, now he can’t. The golf course across from him has been reopened for walking purposes only.

My aunt told me how my uncle tried to by paint at the store and was told no but then the store told him he could order it online for in store pickup.

There’s honestly not much logic to some of the restrictions, especially the restrictions on businesses than can safely run outdoors. A lot of people are suggesting it’s a political play for the VP candidacy. Instead, she should have taken the approach of safe and unsafe rather than essential vs non essential.

It needs to happen soon. My state (IL) just extended to 5/31, despite there being many rural areas that didn’t see many cases to begin with and have hospital space to spare. Chicago’s problem with tackling the virus includes a general unwillingness to comply with social distancing in the predominantly black neighborhoods. Police won’t do anything because they don’t want to be viewed as racist. Political correctness is literally killing us.

Manager 1, you’re largely right. Around St. Patrick’s day, social distancing was just a suggestion. And with the lakefront trail, I think crowding on a nice day was inevitable with so many people stuck home, especially with unemployment skyrocketing. People get bored, or want to get out of the house, and they go outside. IMO, closing the trail was a bad idea because reducing the park space available to people will only cause the remaining parks to get more crowded. My point about African Americans is that even though we’re a month into staying at home, social distancing still appears to be a challenge in predominantly black neighborhoods. If the police won’t enforce social distancing in Austin or Englewood, they shouldn’t be able to enforce it in River North or Lakeview.

I'm a Bernie supporter who got invited here because I debate in a reasonable manner. I was reading some reasonable posts talking about how ridiculous it is to call Republicans racist all the time.
On the left it is frustrating because there is a president who says racists things (from mex are rapists to there are fine people in Charlottesville etc...) and enjoys 80% GOP support.
We clearly agree racism is bad - how can we work together to resolve it? Where does it break down?

Thoughts on the 2,000 dollar stimulus proposal? I personally think it’s not needed. Theoretically if you are getting full unemployment plus this 2000 a month you are making close to a 70-80k salary. Some people might roughly double their salary that they had when they were working. In addition, people like me (under 130k AGI) would qualify and I always could use money but it’s not needed.

here's my prediction.

If Biden wins, the media will begin to message the following;

-The worst COVID risks and outcomes are to people with identifiable risk factors such as obesity and diabetes.

-Most other people who catch it will experience a bad flu.

-Many other people who catch it won't even know they have it.

-It's not commonly transmitted by touching objects and person to person transmittal is low risk except in close contact.

The media will then message that we should;
