The clampdown was premised on not overwhelming the hospitals. Now they are going broke for lack of patients.
So, while I remain a skeptic of of the “clampdown”, fine, I’ll let the proponents “be right”, as long as I get my way.
Never forget with these people have done to us.
Never. Make them step down make them apologize make them be gone.
Average age Naples Florida about 57 y/o, for what it’s worth
One can come up with anecdotal stories about the “reopening” to support whatever point of view you want. I pray this OP’s point of view is correct. Yet what I have seen in Upstate South Carolina is an extremely cautious approach both on the parts of business and consumers.
I think that most people want to get back to normal. The problem is that the Democrat-Media-Complex has a lot of folks scared sh*tless.
I work for a national security Contractor--whose primary customer agency went nuts over COVID. But because my group works at a company building, we have only gone through some of the nonsense going on at Customer sites. My immediate colleagues seem wearied by all of this nonsense. Many of our colleagues and Customers went to half-time; we have been on full time. We are also engineers--and not gulled as easily as average citizens.
There’s a word for that. SCOFFLAW!!
The wife and I have been to Naples, FL on several vacations. Stayed at the last remaining gulf front hotel that has not been converted into a luxury condo. It’s a small town and we enjoyed ourselves but, we prefer the Anna Marie Island / Longboat Key area.
FWIW, the politics of the peoples in the Naples area is pretty conservative on the whole.
Tell that to Gretch, the Wretch.
You really mean FREE MAN OR WOMAN.
if ya don’t like it stay home.
But it’s not Saturday night yet.
With the elderly isolated and excluded from the 'numbers', youngsters are then affected less than the normal annual flu and would go on to acquire herd immunity, eh?
Won't old people be 'picked-off' as they do eventually venture out? The hospitals won't be overwhelmed and the hospitalized would/could get better care the later they wait.
I'm 76.5 YO and I know that about 85% of the people this age who get CV do not survive. I'll stay out of crowds...mostly stay home.
“We are also engineers—and not gulled as easily as average citizens.”
Well said. During my 25 years in the news business, I always appreciated the chance to talk with engineers. Not only did they have interesting things to say, but they were one professional group I felt never tried to BS me.
I could say much the same for agriculture school professors.
Then again, my newspaper career wasn’t exactly conventional. Token conservative pretty much everywhere I worked.
“But it’s not Saturday night yet.”
It’s Florida. The dinner hour for the old folks starts at 3:30. So it’s practically midnight by now :)
The politicians did all the damage here. A virus does what it does. It is a force of nature. The destruction of the economy was all the politicians and was absolutely avoidable. Absolutely.
Naples is one of the more conservative areas of Florida. Free people enjoy being free.
Naples is beautiful. It was on our list of retirement destinations.
I have loved your posts forever, but I question your figure of 85% death rate for 76.5 year olds who contact the virus. I am 75.4 and I think I could survive it very well.
We desire to get back to where we were because familiarity gives us security. Onward and upward to getting back!
