This Incompetent Administration's Response to Coronavirus

Yes there are people who will be more succeptable to it and have more issues getting over it but in my view it's not right to keep the healthy people in such a state of worry and try to keep them locked down.

I think when testing gets more widespread we'll have a better handle on who has it but stays asymptomatic.
A major issue is that there are no hard and fast rules on who's more susceptible, who's gonna have a hard time with it or people who appear healthy suddenly getting ill. Two days ago comedian D. L. Hughley fainted on stage in the middle of a set and was found Covid positive after testing. Interviewed later he said he had none of the symptoms.
I think nobody is calling for indefinite lock down just taking precautions upon opening up.

I was attempting an answer to the asymptomatic portion of your post.
If everyone was to wear masks the transmission would be lessened. Then being asymptomatic or not would matter little for everyone is taking part in a control measure.

The easy answer is that we don't know what we don't know. The more difficult answer is the same, the more we learn about it, the less we thought we knew.
We know what to do to lessen the spread, we also know the penalty to commerce is high when the money stops moving.
What I believe is that we will have a better idea what we are dealing with after spring season next year.

And you have a way to tell how bad a case someone will get without exposing them to the virus?

From HCR's post yesterday, worth repeating here:

"With about 4% of the world’s population, the United States has had about 25% of the world’s deaths from Covid-19."


Donny is 100% to blame for this disaster.

"The governors of the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut tri-state area jointly announced a travel advisory, which requires a 14-day quarantine for visitors from states whose infection rates meet certain thresholds indicating “significant community spread,” according to New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D). Nine states currently meeting that threshold, Cuomo said: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, Utah and Texas.

Across the U.S., 22,287 new cases had been reported as of 1:30 ET Wednesday. Last Wednesday, there were 23,865 cases reported the entire day. Three states (California, Florida and Oklahoma) hit new single-day case highs. Five (Calif., Fla., Okla., Nevada and North Carolina) have hit new seven-day rolling average highs and two (Arizona, with 2270, and Montana, with 17) have hit new highs for hospitalizations." WP

I wish California would do the same. Trump and his crony's sure aren't doing their jobs to protect us. Just shut it down Gov. Newsom.

Stay away, touristas but do come back when it's safe. Uncle Walt needs your tourist dollars over at the Tragic Kingdom. (rolls eyes)

"Dow tumbles more than 700 points amid surge in coronavirus cases
The Dow Jones industrial average shed more than 700 points during early trading Wednesday, as investors grappled with a spike in novel coronavirus cases in several states, fueling concerns that an already drawn out economic recovery will be delayed further by a potential second wave of the pandemic.

The Dow dropped 775 points, or nearly 3 percent, in morning trading. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 88 points, or 2.84 percent, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq — which recently set an all-time high — slid more than 2.5 percent and was headed for its first negative session in nine days." WP

Great job D'Rumpf.
