Duane this is good news in one sense and potentially lethal news in another. Time will tell. It's all politics at this point. I know I'll get crap for this post but don't really give a shit. That picture is supposed to represent social distancing especially with all the children involved? Is a day at the beach really worth losing your child to this virus and then taking it home with you to infect people who opted to be safe and not join spring break north.

Guess Murphy's definition of knucklehead is a lot more liberal than most. We went from lock down to that in one day, guess the crisis is over.

The Variable-message Signs on the highways reading "Don't be a knucklehead, keep your distance" worked :D

Good to hear they got no plans on re-closing.

From a general, physiological standpoint, staying indoors with no physical human contact and natural, incidental virus and bacteria contact is terrible for your immune health.

As opposed to the 200,000 new cases a day government reports are predicting by the end of this month as opposed to the current 25,000 new cases all because markets will be re-opened prematurely.

At the current mortality rate, that's about 15,000 more people every day who will die because politicians choose the economy over public safety. Then factor in any one of those people being your sibling, parent, child or grandparent and tell me you agree that projected loss of life is worth the risk.

I’m seeing a global critical/severe rate of open cases at 3% and 15% less total death in usa this march compared to last march. One could argue that it’s because people are staying home, but that really wouldn’t explain why it isn’t higher, given the supposed death rates. I’d be much more worried about not having any contact with degraded forms of the virus naturally considering that’s the only defense right now. I would argue, in the absence of a vaccine, the best course of action would be a mostly open society, minus bigger events, with normal typical virus season precautions.

That would be a 7.5 percent death rate which is 30 times higher than reality. 200,000 new cases per day is about 15 times higher than projections. At least 70 percent of the population will get this diseases. Social distancing slows the spread but does not lessen it. Suicides, domestic violence, drug and alcohol abuse are all skyrocketing. Unemployment is going over 20 percent. America needs to re-open. In fact, it never should have closed in the first place.
