Personally, I think that’s the idea.
It makes no sense.
We see what happened. Some areas got hit hard. Vast majority didn’t but now we’re just waiting for the disease to spread.
Clearly everyone sitting at home did nothing.
I am not a conspiracy theorist, but it is getting easier to believe that this is an organized effort to destroy our country’s culture and style of Government.
You know what. I’m going to short the market. Apparently too few in this country have the will to oppose the tyranny. It’s obvious where this is all headed financially. Need a little less talk, and a lot more action someone once sang.
Okay...
So how, exactly, do you only quarantine the sick when there’s a 14 day incubation period and sick people might not even show symptoms but still be contagious?
The only way I can think of to do that is to test EVERYONE - but when THAT wouldn’t work, because, as Dr. Fauchi pointed out, you could test negative for the disease one day - but then catch it the next.
Dat da plan, man.
The US was unprepared to test for an unknown, highly contageous virus. Consequently, government had to presume everybody “guilty” of having the virus and quarantine everybody.
Hoping that warmer weather makes SARS-CoV-2 go away like the flu goes away.
In meanwhile, and in my non-medical opinion, take vitamin D3 if you can find any.
The historical reference to “quarantine” is in protecting a healthy population from the sick. You (England) are healthy, you lock up that boat of filthy Italians ( ;) to prevent them spreading whatever disease they carry.
Contrast that to today where the arrival of the disease was undetected (thanks China!). The US is spitting out about 30k known new infections a day. The “sick” people to quarantine are unknown. The “healthy” are unknown, too. The “lockdown” is limiting the spread, since no possible quarantine could.
I understand that everyone is frustrated, but this kind of argument about historical quarantine is just bunk.
“then we won’t have a country to make great again.”
Thats the plan
"Ya right. Well if they keep quarantining the healthy (which is the first time ever done in humanity) then we won’t have a country to make great again."
In the real world: You quarantine sick people....not well people. So how do you know...cuz you feel sick. Thanks to: Sacajaweau for this common sense reality.
Bingo! No expensive tests/hospital visits just some common sense. No edicts from power crazy governors/mayors. Just common sense.
Our economy/citizens have been brutally beaten/raped/abused with the insane/power grabbing actions of democrat elites, democrat governors/mayors and democrat mediots!
“A shutdown is a broadly destructive solution, to a problem that could have been solved with far more targeted approaches!"
Quarantines only work to keep a small amount of sick people from going out and spreading the disease!
They don’t work to keep the vast majority of healthy people locked inside.
Thanks to HotHunt for the above great visual!
If people want to stay home, let them! NO ONE wants to force them to go out!
All because the CDC and NIH with tens of billions per year in appropriations and at least a decade’s head start cannot wrap their minds around “asymptompatic spread”.
If this is the best solution they could come up with then
we don’t need to be funding them any longer.
The idea that only the sick are quarantined is not accurate. Ships, in their entirety were quarantines. Villages, cities, and towns have been quarantined , in toto since the Middle Ages.
The folks spewing this crap should really stop. It makes them appear ignorant.
And very few places outside hospitals are quarantined. I travelled in four jurisdictions today, in two states. I wasn’t stopped once. That would not happen in a quarantine.
This misuse of language is intentional to cause hysteria.
“which is the first time ever done in humanity”
Sheer ignorance.
Quarantine is for the healthy (but suspect). Isolation for the sick.
In US history up until now we have only quarantined the sick and those that live with them
Larry, that’s why the leftists are doing it.
Too late President Trump has gone all in with the Hillary loving Fauci and his lunatic crap,he can’t turn around now.
We are screwed,the President is giving the impression that by destroying the economy the virus is going to go away,it’s not! The only thing going away are our freedoms and jobs,the virus is just waiting for the people to go out again.
The economy is destroyed
Problem is, we don’t know who’s healthy and who isn’t. COVID-19 carriers can transmit the disease for days without themselves showing symptoms.
