These cats are probably correct in what needs to be done to get this over with...

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/07/opinion/coronavirus-lockdown-unemployment-death.html

yeah lets not completely destroy the economy over a virus with a .25 IFR

because way more people in our own country and around the world will suffer if we do that

anyway off to the desert to get away from all the fucking idiots on this planet

Unsurprisingly you missed the point of the OP-ed. Sounds like the Big 5 power conferences are ready to throw in the towel for fall because we half assed the response instead of taking the short term pain to squash this thing. Now we are dragging it, and the accompanying economic pain, out. But hey, people are saving money per the article as the savings rate has jumped!

It’s really pathetic that Trump and many state governors decided to “half-ass” this thing.  American Exceptionalism! 

I don’t know if this makes sense, but here’s another approach for suppressing the virus outbreak, given our current sad state of affairs.   

Most of the coronavirus tests the U.S. does are worthless. But there's a solution that could actually work — and stop the spread.

The problem is a rapid antigen testing approach would require federal and state leadership that believed in governing, expertise and data, not chaos, gaslighting and denial.

Go lie down on a railroad track. Wait there.

As you bleed out, you'll know it was the train's fault.

Also, seeing MAGAts blame people for their inability to contain a viral spread = the summit of all hypocrisy.

has any government ever controlled a viral spread?

If you think that Trump could stop the spread of a disease you're an idiot. Literally no one on the face of this planet has that ability. If they did, they'd be an actual, living breathing superhero.

Yes. It's not even rare.

The fact that you treat it as unprecedented rather than readily searchable is totally on brand.

I do think it is crap that Pritzker is putting businesses on the line to enforce the mask rule SANS any liability/fines for the individuals who refuse to comply. That is absolute BS.

It actually is, just not for the reasons you think.

He's ruling by executive order just like Trump!

I agree and it’s unfortunate we’ve gone down the road to enforcement.   

Keep in mind the rule is targeted at businesses that are willfully ignoring the mask requirement.   It states businesses are considered in compliance if they adopt measures like posting signs, requesting customers to wear masks, or offering masks.  There is also a “three strikes" graduated enforcement mechanism.
https://newschannel20.com/news/local/pritzkers-emergency-rules-regarding-masks-now-in-effect

I think we all remember when smoking was banned at bars, restaurants and other places.  There were concerns about individual rights, businesses like bars and casinos closing and irate customers endangering business owners. 

There were pockets of resistance, but in the end businesses and customers complied.

It’s perfectly logical to me to have businesses be the enforcers.

The medical community didn't want the general public to hoard masks until they got the supply chain under control.

It's not that hard to understand.
