coho8888 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 You could tell when Trump stopped all travel from China, it was merely grandstanding to his audience. He didn't stop the flow from Europe which was much more serious. Like bolting the front door shut but leaving the back door wide open. 21 minutes ago, Me_ said: It’s a world economy. Like the Treaty of Versailles was of Medieval thinking And led to WWII, so are Independent Nations as we know it. Whether it is Mount-St-Helen, Chernobyl, burning forests, global warming or plastic pollution, we’re all in this together. I just hope it doesn’t just become a catch phrase of the times or God forbid, the next Coca Cola slogan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 1 hour ago, coastal.view said: well i think in our society the freedom of the majority is not curtailed by a minority of bad apples i think their failures to comply are overstated mostly anyway it is a small number of people and no matter what they have or have not done the current stricter regime was not followed by them and they did not really impact the outbreak so not sure why we want to continue to constrain the rest of us to this degree when the non compliant ones were not complying before not sure what logic is being used here the vast majority of people will continue to comply \ and be careful and follow recommendations impose tougher penalties on those who do not but don't take that issue out on the majority of us Except it's the small number of people that often ruin things for everyone. Laws are literally made so that the small number of people will comply with them. Video games are changed due to a small number of people exploiting them. In this case, it's the "small number of people" killing other people through transmitting the disease. It doesn't matter how many or how few there are. The fact that there are people not complying puts everyone else at risk. Period. Like I said before, I would love to have your faith in humanity, but I kind of think it would be better suited to being a positive mindset believing we'll get through this rather than ignoring what people are doing in prolonging this disease. Again, the numbers don't matter here. The very fact that they're risking our lives over their ignorance of all of this is what angers me in the end. I have no sympathy for those people at all if they aren't willing to sympathize with everyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Los Angeles Nov 10-13 and when I returned to Vancouver I was sick like never before, flu like symptoms and puss coming out of my eyes. I thought my head was going to explode the headache was so bad. Went to the hospital once then drop in clinic 3 times in three weeks and was told I had a virus and go home and rest it off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point was he didn't stop the Europe one until much later. Also, he didn't really stop the China ones as 40,000? or so came into the states following the "ban" if I'm remembering correctly. Basically a case of too little for China and too late for Europe. Edited April 13, 2020 by Duodenum 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustbin Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 It's crazy that Sweden, of all places, is letting this disease run it's course. As far as I'm concerned they're the only western nation that is employing a sustainable response to the pandemic. I hope it works out for them. I agree with their approach except I'm not so sure how much support they're giving to hide vulnerable groups, it should be iron clad (but not mandatory). I love it that kids are still in school there since this is the quickest and least painful path to herd immunity, and they have zero percent risk. What we have done is good for flattening the curve and it has allowed us to prepare for the virus attack in the less virulent spring and summer, but are we expecting an economic shutdown to last until a vaccine is available? I hope not. My understanding is there has never been a successful corona virus vaccine developed, so it might be a long wait. I am not saying sacrifice anyone. I am saying spend billions on protecting the vulnerable, not billions keeping the robust at home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And oh, I agree, watching the bunny storm in was awesome! ....sometimes good guys take a third bunny in penalty though, game misconduct. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
