Yes, 85k deaths is very sad and you can thank China for that. That being said, the death rate per capita for the U.S. is .00238 which is one should look at. The stay at home order was solely done to prevent the healthcare system/infrastructure from being overrun … period. Sure it saved lives no doubt in many areas and many areas it hasn't affected folks at all. This isn't going away and according now to the WHO, Sweden has shown by protecting the older folks and such but keeping schools and businesses open was a reasonable way to go. We all have thoughts and opinions … carry on. You are making things up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...there is an enormous uptick in mental health issues right now. I work in the health insurance field....and folks are using TeleMedicine a whole lot more lately, and many of their concerns are mental health. Pretty easy to connect the dots from mental health struggles leading to suicide. So yah, mental health is an issue right now. Even in my household, my wife is struggling with working remotely and not being able to get out and do what she likes to do, such as shopping, walking and going to the gym. It is a struggle for her. And now...she can do more of it, but she's concerned about getting the virus, or worse, unknowingly giving it to someone else (because we have not been tested). Just a tough situation to be in. Guess I feel like Evers was in a "can't win" situation. Open the economy, get people back to work, get them paid. Or....keep people more isolated to keep infections down, which should mean fewer deaths. Either way, it is a tough position to be in. I want to know more about this. I have suffered from diagnosed anxiety and depression for over half of my life. I am dealing with this very well. Are others that already have issues addressed also doing fine? To be fair, my life hasn't changed much at all. I just have to wear a mask when I go to the stores in Illinois, I don't go to the bars every weekend, and I do more of my grocery shopping at one time rather than pick up a couple of things 3-4 times per week. I was already a person who could feel alone in a crowded room, so my interactions at work and talking on the phone with my parents is probably enough socialization. Are these new cases because of a cabin fever effect? Are people already affected worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgbeethree Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Sweden's virus death rate of 291 per million inhabitants is far higher than Norway's death rate of 40 per million, Denmark's rate of 87, or Finland's rate of 45. Seems like the strategy to follow. 🙄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about moving to Warwick(one of the 'burbs) once things re-open; it's right next to Cranston which is supposed to be the basis for Quahog in Family Guy. The kids would go to good schools, the cost of living isn't as bad as you would think, and the restaurants there are spectacular. Plus, you're right on the main Amtrak line so a train ride into Boston isn't all that long. Edited May 14, 2020 by Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
