Social distancing is useless this side of Mars, at this point. The virus will run its course, and probably has already. It's what they do. Sooner or later, everyone gets exposed to any virus, and develops some immunity. Those in a vulnerable state are at risk of their lives. But that's the case, whether it's sooner or later. Treatments like hydroxychloroquine (to calm down the body's inflammation in reaction to the virus) with zinc (to blow up the virus itself) seem to save lives when the infection is caught early.
Social distancing at the beginning can slow down the spread so the cases don't need medical treatment all at once and crash the hospital system. But at this point, social distancing is worse than useless. It will cause far more deaths by crashing the economy than the Wubonic Plague could ever do by itself.
That's why the barber is no threat.
That’s your opinion. It’s not mine. It’s not the opinion of the medical community or the Governor who has the legal authority granted to her by the people through duly enacted legislation to act.
The judge apparently agrees with you, but in my opinion, it’s not the judges appropriate role. The legislature gives the authority to the elected Governor, not the judge. For the judge to overrule the Governor, the judge needs a very strong argument that the governor is wrong. And with so many medical professionals agreeing with the Governor, the judge doesn’t have that.
Supporting the judge overturning the Governor on such a weak assumption contrary to the medical professionals and the stated law is the real tyranny.
You don’t have to agree with the medical professionals or the Governor, but the legal framework shouldn’t be dismissed in favor of a rogue judge on a whim.
Can someone tell me the difference between opening last week or next week....if the same distancing rules are in effect?
The answer is "0".
