WizeGuy Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Sounds like the finger lakes region will be opening on May 15. For the past month or so I thought it'd be the end of May, so my spidey senses worked pretty well. I think we'll make it to phase two in the beginning of June. That's when things could get iffy. Babershops will open up along with other professional businesses. We may be okay if people wear masks and social distance. It's possible, and would be nice to get a haircut again (first world problems). Im not very hopeful we'd stay in phase 3 very long. That's when bars open up, and it wouldnt surprise me if we start to get some clustered outbreaks once we enter that phase. Still, i believe the summer will be pretty fun. Im going to go camping with the fam a lot, and play a ton of golf. Also, my buddy owns a boat, so we may have some fun nights on the lake. Bon fires as well. Just have to hang out low key with a few close friends and family. I aint complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible but as long as budgets and rules are the way they are, it can't last. I'll just say that I have experienced not being able to buy a $60 part off Amazon because of a government contract. Instead we have to pay $200+ per part through contracting. But government budgets and rules isn't something I want to get into here. It's not a money issue though. They can keep making/printing money. The issue is what you can really do with that money when businesses are closed or tanked because of a global depression. I mean, the service industry is all but shut down at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizeGuy Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Here's some interesting reads on herd immunity. There are some highly respected scientists who believe herd immunity may be far lower than expected due to the most susceptible being hit first. I'm not nearly educated enough in this matter to have a strong opinion. Interesting reads none-the-less. I'd love to hear the takes of people who have more knowledge than I do regarding these prints. https://judithcurry.com/2020/05/10/why-herd-immunity-to-covid-19-is-reached-much-earlier-than-thought/ https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.27.20081893v1 https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.03085 I don't believe any of these are peer reviewed yet, but I figured they'd be interesting to discuss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there's a difference between printing money to keep asset prices from falling and actually stimulating the economy Stimulus is potentially effective... if people are allowed to leave their homes and the real economy is allowed to function Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure they record anyone who comes into a hospital with coronavirus but isnt dead as a recovery. So when the MoL looks at spread it looks like there's 25 or 30% new case growth every single day but the number of active cases isn't growing. I think they're just dumb.
