Ky new cases were practically down to nothing as of 4 days ago. We’ve only had 235 deaths. 90% of those were people over 60.
So, why can’t our schools re-open?
In Kentucky, only 0.1% of the population even HAD a confirmed case. Only 0.005% of our population died… and, as I said, nearly ALL of them were elderly.
For this, we’ve put thousands of people out of work, bankrupted the state’s unemployment benefit fund, put practically every small business underwater, probably permanently closed a third of our restaurants, closed all Churchs, prohibited ALL public gatherings…
And STILL, Our Demoncrat Governor, Andy Beshear, doesn’t want to let us open things up??
Don’t even try to convince me this was all based in science.
There is a lot of value in targeting the quarantines to the most affected areas.
The goal of infection control is to isolate those who might have been exposed and to have reasonable safeguards against the minority of cases where no symptoms are apparent and yet are contagious.
Some of the measures do not make sense.
There are plenty of things that can be done to limit the spread of disease without overly imposing on people’s liberties. For example, there is a waterfront park in town. Our city council (or whatever) decided to make the promenade one way traffic only. Makes sense, because then people are not facing other people. Now there is a requirement in military stores to wear a mask.
