Experts worry 'quarantine fatigue' is starting

Researchers tracking smartphone data say they recently made a disturbing discovery: For the first time since states began implementing stay-at-home orders in mid-March to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus, Americans are staying home less.

The nationwide shift during the week of April 13 was relatively slight. However, any loss of momentum, particularly when stay-in-place orders remain in effect across most of the country, has some public health experts worried about "quarantine fatigue." Any increase in travel, they say, is premature when staying home remains the most effective way to limit the spread of the virus until widespread testing and contact tracing become available.

We were lied to. They said the shutdown was needed till we “flattened the curve”. Well the curve has been flattened. But we still can’t go outside

Fauci lied. Birx lied. Pence lied (or bought the lies of others). Trump bought their line and is now duping on Gov Kemp because Kemp believed what we were originally tod

LIES!!!!!!

Experts? Worrying?
Sounds anecdotal to me!

Philosophically, one cannot be opposed to the shutdown and not hold Trump responsible for cajoling all the governors into it.

Especially as he continues to tell governors to keep it shut down.

That’s cognitive dissonance for many here. And they’ll say Trump didn’t shut anything down, it’s the governors who are responsible for it!

Open your eyes. Our POTUS was the first advocate for the policy.

They always figure it out when it’s become so obvious it’s like getting hit with a 2X4.

Real Men Of Genius.

Starting?! Where have they been? Most people have their break out date as May 1st. Not any patience with “leaders” after that.

I believe the President knows this, too. He will be almost invicible for the next two to three weeks I suspect.

“We needed to destroy the country to save it,” should be the epitaph of this sorry fiasco.

If “experts” have noticed it things must be about to go catastrophic.

The President intends to let it happen as it will. Doubt he expected some of the governors to turn into the little tin pot dictators that they did. It makes opening up more difficult.
