Yes, because we knew much less about the situation then. Now that we know what we are dealing with we can make the necessary changes where possible.
Because right now it looks like there is no real planning going on at all. They keep talking about different possible measures and lengths of time for the shutdown, why not economic plans as well? If they had something positive to share then maybe people would be less worried and stock markets would bounce back faster too. I don’t give a damn about stocks, but when the market goes down it affects a lot of thing negatively and that is what we want to avoid.
Hence why I asked what the hell it has to do with anything.
So if there is nothing to eat then poor people are doing well? Historically less people lived in cities, cities were smaller, and more people were farmers.
I posted this in the other thread, but here it is in case you missed it. The media must be reading my posts on here.
In Iceland, where the population is fairly small, authorities are testing almost everyone and finding out just as many people had the virus and didn’t know it as those who had mild to severe symptoms.
Even on the doomed Diamond Princess cruise ship (an almost perfect petri dish for COVID research), only about half of those who tested positive ever developed symptoms.
… So rather than having us all cower at home for the full duration, wouldn’t it be possible to request high-risk persons stay isolated while slowly releasing low-risk Canadians to go back to a limited form of normal?
I’ve already debunked you’re Iceland study (for all those wondering, this is a continuation of an argument from the other covid thread).
The other two almost certainly count for being asymptomatic at the time of testing without the variable of time being taken into account
I’ve also debunked you’re asymptomatic vs pre symptomatic argument… You didn’t care to give an answer there.
Canada isn’t containing the spread very efficiently… If you really think covid 19 is so benign, why not go out and catch it, report back to us.
Anyhow, tbh this argument isn’t important enough to continue over. It’s a waste of you’re time and a waste of my time. You think I just don’t get it… That social isolation shouldn’t be mandated at this point… I think you “just don’t get it”.
I’m not going to change you’re opinion, you won’t change mine (similar to the argument we had about homosexuality… And yes, me bringing this up is immature)
Let’s just agree to disagree and drop it from here.
Although since I’ve replied to you here it isn’t exactly fair that I should have the last word (I don’t remember who started this argument)… So you can have the last word if you wish
Since when does the truth need to be held to the requirement of sounding good?
Also, whether or not it sounds good to people, maybe they need to picture the reality that is going on, whether they see it or not, whether they like it or not, and that is, in some hospitals right now, doctors, nurses, and other staff, are seeing patients die every few minutes and being replaced by more patients who will continue that trend (at what will most likely be an increased rate until it reaches a peak) for weeks.
You’re certainly welcome to your opinion. After a month of lockdown I think people that typically stay at home will be out and about. I doubt workplaces having just suffered a terrible March, April, and probably May are going to stay distant either, but who knows.
I mean, FOX News is the network of abortion is murder and we need God in our schools and lives. They are all about family values, respecting tradition (I think respecting the elderly falls in there somewhere) and marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman. OK, fine if you believe that. But now it’s the network of the economy first.
So we know which god they really worship. And the question of not being able to serve two masters is answered.
Do you actually believe world leaders in the midst of this crisis aren’t making plans? They are dude. With the way this changes revealing those plans is not just subject to change, but potentially counter productive.
Do we? We’re changing guidelines frequently. We know more than we did, but we don’t know much still. You’re still talking about isolating the sick and elderly when the evidence is out there that healthy young people are requiring hospitalization and death.
I don’t get people wanting to decide who is the greatest president of all time. Without every president serving in every possible term (not to mention figuring out how to even decide a term is successful) it’s impossible, isn’t it?
Then again, Trump knows history. Like really well. Extremely well. It surprises historians, even. So maybe we should trust his opinion.
If he wasn’t so distracted by impeachment we wouldn’t have any cases. He only golfed multiple times and held multiple campaign rallies. Impeachment took his eye off the ball!
