Finally some sanity.
normalcy: what democrats do NOT want
I just got off a conference call with a Yale MD specializing in virus in which he, too, felt that a lot more re-opening should be happening, including universities, with one stipulation: PEOPLE MUST WEAR MASKS
Masks stop the spread of the virus incredibly well. Because infected people are often asymptomatic, they don’t know they are spreading. If everyone wears a mask the spread of the disease can be cut to very low levels. Handwashing also of course has to continue.
Wear a mask. Go shopping. Re-open the economy.
There is work we must do. Staying shut is not an option. Why is this so difficult to grasp?
Take health care. All those who would have had heart attacks, strokes, cancer diagnoses, etc. have mostly been home and sedentary. But their underlying health can only get worse. So as a reasonable first approximation all of the hospitalizations, ER visits etc that we have mysteriously avoided since late March are merely latent. They will happen, and they will he added to the usual May thru December demand. If we have ongoing covid, a second wave and so forth then factor that in too.
Our hospitals and health care providers are going to be super super busy going forward.
It is perhaps less true of barbers and police and others but it is still true. The work piles up folks. Ignoring it won’t make it go away.
Once again, a headline that does not accurately reflect the statement that Daniels made.
Close to zero does not equal zero.
Mitch was good for Indiana, has been great for Purdue and would have been very good for the US. Wasn’t meant to be.
They are smart. I know many parents and high school seniors in my area are already re-evaluating their choices and offers, and waiting to find out what colleges are planning for fall.
Parents/students don’t want to pay big bucks for online schooling. They want to pay for the leafy campus experience, and dorms (get these kids out of our houses! :) The colleges who offer that will get the $$ and enrollments.
And a chance to kill off the old geezer professors who are most likely to get the Wuhan Virus, thus reducing the faculty costs. Semi-sarcastic
Time for some parents with college age students to start suing our left wing governor.
