I just saw a group of high school boys doing a long run together. Acceptable or Stupidity?

The only way to stop the spread is for every individual to be quarantined for 30 days. Since we can be reinfecfed, even quarantining 2 people together could cause the disease to keep jumping back and forth. So if people do not have a residence where they can be alone, they need to quarantine in their auto. If that is not an option, walk up gas chambers will be set up. It is estimated that approximately 25% of the US population or 75 million people in US will be exterminated but this will save an estimated 100,000 elderly citizens which we must do at all cost.

If you are going to meet with family and friends over Easter all I can say is happy coronavirus. Let us know how your cluster turns out. Somewhere there will be a ventilator just for you - or grandma. Maybe.

Gas chambers? The virus is nowhere near as poisonous as you are. In fact it is probably a higher life form.

Please share what you have learned from the experts so I can share with friends and family at an Easter gathering tomorrow on what they should REALLY be doing to stay safe and stop the spread. Thanks in advance for sharing your suggestions.

We kept the gathering small (8), two under the State's rule, and none of us have been sick recently, and there have been no new cases in our area for I believe six days straight...so we all felt it was okay to gather for a couple of hours. We had a great conversation about all of the inconsistencies relating to this pandemic and all agreed that we would not want to go on ventilators since in many areas 80ish% of those who do go on them die. Oxygen seems like the preferred treatment we were willing to try.

So, I still would like you to share what you have learned from the experts so I can understand your take on this. Thanks in advance for sharing.

If you want to know what you should do to protect yourself and others the public health message is consistently the same and simple: observe social distancing and wash your hands regularly. If you want to know more, about either the epidemiology or the political issues involved, I suggest you might do as I do, which is listen to what a wide range of health experts around the world are saying, as well as first responders and those who have endured the virus - and read the same. If it doesn't come from an acknowledged expert in the field I'd take it with a grain of salt. Like the pronouncements of the President.

I come from a country that moved hard and fast early and implemented a full lockdown - self-isolation. Everyone keeps within their "bubble" - no socializing except amongst those in your bubble that you live with. It's working. New infections are falling daily, there is virtually no community spread and only a handful of fatalities. The country's borders are closed. The government's goal is not containment but eradication of the virus. The US missed that opportunity because the Federal government dropped the ball - and has never really picked it up.

So, just on the two items you shared - "observe social distancing and wash your hands regularly"

In your opinion what is a safe social distance when grocery shopping? 3', 6', 10', or more? How about when outside walking the dog at 3 mph or slower? How about when jogging/running at 8 mph? How about when biking at 15 mph? I'm glad you brought up hand washing. Could you detail how you would recommend someone to properly wash their hands, or dhare what the experts are recommending?

It's clearly too complicated for you. I suggest you just go outside and hug somebody.

Why can't you answer these simple questions and help everyone better understand what we should be doing ?

If your inquiries were genuine I might. But I'm not convinced they are, because you seem to have no awareness of what any of the health experts have been saying about social distancing.

I have plenty of awareness, which is why I see the inconsistencies and why I am asking for your opinion since you seem to be much more in the know than most.

My neighbor is head of a hospital and I have 2 Dr. friends who all tell me that social distancing is garbage. They said that we will all be exposed at some point and most of us will never experience symptoms. Mt wife went to her Ob Gyn last week who told her th same thing. So I am going with the advice of my doctor because that is what I have always been told.

No one gives a s*** about a disease with 2% mortality rate. I'm willing to be sincere with my social distancing(only interacting with my parents and running by myself) till the beginning of May. I definitely am not going to be happy if we follow the advice of some r*t***s who are suggesting lockdown till the vaccine is developed, which would probably take another year.

2% mortality makes it sound like 2% of the population is going to b die. Less than 1% will even be infected of which maybe 2% of thise will die. Imagine if the media would tell.people that you have the same chance of dying from ut as s from the flu or an automobile. People are not afraid of cars.

Armstronglivs, I'm asking as if my life, or someone else's reading this needs to know, seriously, please share what you believe from the experts in regards to hand washing and social distancing.

is he posting on other threads? Maybe he died of Corona Virus from listening to the experts.
