it's insane how good trump/gop is at framing the narrative

he says you can't buy seeds and paint

so chuds argue that you should be able to buy seeds and paint, non-chuds argue that not buying seeds is good for public health

but you CAN buy seeds and paint. you never couldn't. shops that sell seeds and paint are open nationwide.

what the gently caress is wrong with this country

but the liberals will get mad at me if i do, and i want to own the libs in a way that doesn't make them mad at me, personally

that's what I've been saying. What's wrong is that people are loving idiots. No one is stopping you from buying "seeds and paint" anywhere in this loving country, even in Michigan.

No, quite the opposite. I think you're hysterical if you think the lockdown should last for months. The fact that you think asymptomatic carrriers are higher than 50% AND you think a lockdown should last for several months is aboslutely sociopathic.

ChipNDip posted:

If 50+% are asymptomatic, that implies that the CFR is far, far lower than estimated and that we don't all need to be Wall-E pod people indefinitely.

Loosening restrictions doesn't mean cruise ships and sports stadiums. How the gently caress can you justify no one buying seeds or paint or visiting their friends for 2-3+ years over something that has a CFR well under 1% (which if 50+% are asymptomatic is the case)? That's sociopathic.

how the gently caress is that sociopathic

do you know what sociopathic means

if there's a high asymptomatic carrier rate that makes it even more important to lock down until the virus burns out otherwise it'll continue indefinitely

how is this not immediately apparent to you

yeah someone here mentioned earlier that we've already lost to the chuds as soon as they are reporting things as "reopen the economy" instead of "interfering with quarantine"

"reopen the economy" is so infantile that i have to prevent myself from going "goo goo ga ga" every time i read it

and yet its the top headline and prime unit of discourse for every newspaper in the country

Nobody in this thread is arguing for 2 weeks besides me. They are arguing for indefinite restrictions lmao

ive never seen anyone argue for indefinite restrictions. even if theres never a vaccine discovered it WILL eventually infect enough people to slow down via herd immunity.

id say the absolute worst case is that no treatment or vaccine is discovered and it continues to not be contained through teh summer, and there is a large surge in fall/winter. but that would probably infect enough people to slow down enough that most daily life could go on after that, maybe still wearing masks for another year or so and some relatively minor restrictions.

You need like 70% of the population to have immunity to get herd immunity. If people's immunity doesn't last until that point it might never end until we get a vaccine.

Shovelbum has been saying it for weeks, there are plenty of others ITT clamoring for it.

I'm arguing that people can have a loving drink at their friends house in a gathering of 5-6 people who don't ~live in the same household~ sometime in the next month without people throwing a poo poo fit, not that we can open the bars or send everyone back to work for fucks sake.

Anyway if immunity is time limited and testing is flawed then we have to lockdown until either vaccine or improved testing to prevent an endemic which basically ends America and Europe

And that's not a state that is prompting CHUD protests, hth.

The stay in place order is the only thing stopping a bunch of low paid ununionized working class pol from being infected by being forced to work.

They should be compensated with a high UBI and free food and shelter, but thats diff from what youre proposing, ignoring the germ theory of disease?

It's not cruel and insane compared to a society with an endemic plague that completely collapses the entire idea of healthcare for the foreseeable future - even at a 15% CFR, no herd immunity, and probably most importantly EVERY OTHER CONDITION'S CFR going to hospitalization rate we're turbo hosed. We need to at least stay locked down (more extensively than present levels) until we understand the nature of the virus and immunity better.

I'll ask again because nobody ITT seems to have a real answer (other than "indefinitely" with Sheng claims nobody is saying). When, in terms of virus spread or an actual date estimate, do you think it will be OK for people to:

- Buy "non-essential" items at stores? This includes items like paint, seeds, furniture, etc. that the dumb CHUDs protested about

- Visit friends who aren't in their ~household~? In groups of 5? 10? 15?

- Do any sort of "normal" activity with precautions like masks and 6-ft distancing?

This is all I have ever argued about and asked about ITT.

Yes, they are. How many of you ITT have visited anyone outside of your household in the past month? How long are you prepared to have zero in-person social interaction with anyone you don't currently live with? 1 year? 2 years? 5 years?

People are flipping out about people going to the loving park or visiting friends 1-on-1. How long is it going to be wrongthink to do that?

Non essential items at stores are available now and the rest hinges on what we learn about the disease. We have to assume the worst case until we know wtf which is not a call to eternal lockdown so much as it is a call to mass test

I'm giving you explicit permission to go hang out at your friend's house. Go ahead.

Strangely, I don't think you have friends that want to see you or hear from you so you're raging at strangers on the internet because that's the only social interaction you have.

Go on. Get out there. Stop being such a whiny baby that some stranger might disapprove of your actions, unless strangers are the only people you interact with.
