That still isnt enough of a difference to make those number even remotely close. SK still vastly outperforms in outbreak prevention even if you take that extra high risk population into a count to try and give the US a bit of a pass.

Didn't say it would completely close the gap, we have what like 50k% more deaths? But it 100% is a factor. Trying to compare one of the healthier nations that already had a widely adopted mask friendly outlook to an extremely unhealthy nation who has a majority of the population believing masks are the devils toys is like comparing a Ferrari vs a F150.

People's moronic prejudices against masks should not be an excuse for not keeping up with other 1st world nations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not minimizing the severity of Corona, but man. Just seems extreme, and no way would I follow this if I lived in Cali on Thanksgiving. Reasonable restrictions for preventing spread? I think this was a pragmatic move. If this declaration changes plans for even a small percentage of people, that's a win. For a lot of families, the only time they see older and out of town relatives is at the holidays, which is the perfect way to start spreading again. So you can't enforce it - I don't think that's a big deal at all. As long as they continue to hammer home safety policy and advise people on how to make sure they aren't spreading covid, that's a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acowboys62 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Serious question for people moving forward, once we are through this, what habits will you have changed for good after dealing with COVID? Personally I will be: - More conscious of washing/sanitizing my hands before I eat if I am out. Something I probably never thought of when going out to get food pre-COVID. Obviously post bathroom wash my hands, but just walking into a restaurant, touching car door handles, door knobs, glasses, menus, etc. and then eating...going to be more cognizant of that. - Shopping local, always been a big Costco/Amazon person, moving forward I am going to do what I can to support more smaller local businesses where my dollar matters a lot more. - Masks...I hate them, but once work is back in an office setting and I need to be in NYC again, I 100% will be wearing a masks on any public transportation I need to use.
