This is gonna be ugly Edit: and OC sheriff says they wont even enforce the ban lol There is no active hot spot in California. There is no reason California should be behind the entire rest of the world in opening up and actually actively adding restrictions. Lombardy, Italy is re-opening and yet California's governor is telling people they wont be able to get a haircut for months or play baseball games sans fans until 2021. He's off the deep end With all due respect we are discussing this virus on a discussion forum. Elected officials don’t have the luxury of assumptions and they’re ultimately accountable for the decisions they make. Other states opening is irrelevant to other states actions. You don’t want to fall into the trap of following someone else off a cliff. Italy didn’t exactly get the response right and it remains to be seen if opening is the right course of action. You mention no active hot spot in California which in my opinion is a result of decisions undertaken early in the pandemic. I expect the Governor doesn’t want to undo the states early success. People can complain all they want but judging from pictures of beaches in OC a little responsibility probably avoids this action. Seasonality and the effects of sunlight on transmission are assumptions at this point. The MoL is great work but it’s no substitute for actual science. Leading experts have warned summer likely won’t kill off the virus. So in fairness to the Governor he has the responsibility and accountability. It’s of no consequence if a bunch of people having a discussion are wrong. The costs to the state of California are real and it’s far better to err on the side of safety than negligence. I found this article interesting. Osterholm is also one of the individuals leading a group in vaccine development. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/30/health/report-covid-two-more-years/index.html Edited May 1, 2020 by diehardlionfan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_shadows Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 There is one thing I'm very confident in after seeing how people are handling all this... If there is ever another extremely severe virus. Something with both a very high R0 and a very high CFR... Like another black death type scenario..I don't see society managing to survive as it is. I'm pretty confident the world would descend into pure chaos...we can barely hold our crap together for this virus and while it is a bad one when you compare it to some of those humanity has suffered in the past this is nothing.
