ACE Hardware and some local greenhouses are open today. Parking lots are PACKED. I noticed more traffic as well.
Holcomb the RINO is just loving this shit. This guy needs to be thrown out on his ass. What a joke. Is “he” going to pay for all of these people that he denies the ability to go back to work?
Seems that none of these states have any interest in really opening.
With all the states, number of new cases should be irrelevant. The only things relevant are numbers of severe cases needing hospitalization, and what is that rate per million people, and number of sever cases ending in death, per million people.
*80% to 90% or more all new cases will at most result in a mild case that does not require hospitalization or end in death. Those folks are no case for shutting anything down.
Those who are most vulnerable for a severe case can be institutionally sheltered or encouraged or aided to self-shelter at home, you do not need to shelter the whole population from the whole population. All you do with doing that is you manufacturer an open-up and close-down-again, and again, scenario until sufficient herd immunity is obtained. The economy cannot survive that. All the revenue needed for attending to the virus and attending to the economic distress is burnt up in a fire sale of a depression. Everyone will be on the dole and using ration cards for everything.
You simply need to open the economy up and protect and treat the vulnerable. Most of the rest of us will get our mild infection and get over it, just as most do from the flu every year.
There is no coming back from COVID people died. But Indiana can come from the idiotic lockdowns. Eventually, it will take a decade. The restoration of liberty, maybe never.
Some good news from the governor of Indiana (republican)
