Glad to see Hobie is offering up the “closing schools seems like overkill” opinion. I tend to lean that way as well.

The CDC would disagree.

Also glad to see that there is some reasonable discussion going on here. Hoping we can keep the politics out of it.

If the government wasn’t failing to keep up with the situation, it might be reasonable to keep politics out of it. But government failure is a big part of the problem right now.
This is what you get when you have a president who values loyalty over competence and fills his administration with toadies and yes-men:
The scramble for solutions is occurring in an overriding atmosphere of trepidation of saying something that Trump might perceive as disloyal and of fear that their fumbles could cost the president his reelection in November.
I am not sure how anyone can say that the government is late in dealing with this since 60 people have died in two weeks while 100 die every day in automobile accidents.

Identifying cases of COVID-19 can prevent spread. Identifying them early can prevent spread much more effectively than identifying them late. There is no comparable situation with car accidents.

Not 1 person in San Diego has died and all the schools are closed.

Exactly. To wait until people start dying would be to wait way too long.
Lastly, I wonder if the overall effect of just letting the thing run its course would, in the end, be less disruptive than trying to stop it and having it not really work and everyone gets it anyway.

I also wanted to say that it is really annoying when you all change names. It degrades the site alot, makes it impossible to follow and I just skip all the posts because I don’t know who the hell is saying what. And you are just bitching at each other mindlessly anyway so I don’t feel like I am missing much by skipping through it.

Not “you all.” Just flu. Brian once, a long time ago. Flu constantly spamming with a bunch of childish nonsense. I agree that it degrades the site a lot.
