... "There was a lot of pressure in pretty much all of these American cities to reopen," said Navarro, whose research was done in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "When they removed those restrictions too soon, then many cities saw a resurgence in cases."
The center's research found that cities that used "early, sustained and layered" practices such as social distancing, closing public events and stay-at-home orders "fared better than those that did not." ...

They told us FOUR weeks. Longer than that is TOO long to be on f’n house arrest!!
Good that they are wearing them.
Actually if sufficient masks were available, I’m not sure we would have had to have a lock down.
But they weren’t so it is what it is.
How do you get the food into your mouth through the mask?
Well said!
They’re just to make people feel good.
Rachael Maddow with junk.
These 2 doctors from Bakersfield have 40 years of experience in viruses and respiratory infections. They say these lockdown procedures are suppressing our immune responses.
Here’s the transcript.
An entirely different disease.
MSNBC is really the Land of Misfit Toys...
Equivocating
You said it!
Tell that to the East Asian countries like Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan who overwhelmingly wear masks and have controlled the spread of CV much more effectively than we have.
You really are pathetic.
People under house arrest have to wear ankle monitoring bracelets and their communications are monitored. This isn’t house arrest.
California’s lockdown started March 19. We aren’t even 6 weeks into it.

Yes, non-essential businesses have been shut down by local government edicts before.
"Philadelphia’s response was too little, too late. Dr. Wilmer Krusen, director of Public Health and Charities for the city, insisted mounting fatalities were not the “Spanish flu,” but rather just the normal flu. So on September 28, the city went forward with a Liberty Loan parade attended by tens of thousands of Philadelphians, spreading the disease like wildfire. In just 10 days, over 1,000 Philadelphians were dead, with another 200,000 sick. Only then did the city close saloons and theaters. By March 1919, over 15,000 citizens of Philadelphia had lost their lives.
St. Louis, Missouri, was different: Schools and movie theaters closed and public gatherings were banned. Consequently, the peak mortality rate in St. Louis was just one-eighth of Philadelphia’s death rate during the peak of the pandemic.
Citizens in San Francisco were fined $5—a significant sum at the time—if they were caught in public without masks and charged with disturbing the peace."

The more things change the more they stay the same. And we all know what came shortly after 1918: the Roaring Twenties. The American economy has survived worse than this. It may take a few years but this recession too shall pass.
