Ideally grocery stores would adapt and not put their employees at such risk. Force masks in the store, and encourage drive up to go orders. I tried to get milk at the drive thru at Walgreens the other day and was told “we don’t do that anymore”

Around here they stopped having lines to get in. It was strange. Irresponsible and strange.

I think Disney is doing what they can to keep everyone safe. If they feel they are at risk, they should be allowed to choose to stay home.

If they choose to stay home they should not be collecting unemployment. If they do they should the be quarantined to their homes. No bars or beaches etc.
Like my mom used to say if your too sick to go to school then your to sick to go outside and play.

Ideally, we wouldn’t have Covid but not everything is ideal.

Yeah, did your mom used to try to send you places that would make you sick and tell you to either risk getting sick or no dinner? Seems like you got this flipped.

Ideally if we forced everyone to wear a mask when around other people we could contain this thing pretty quickly.

  • Wear a mask
  • Don't stand close to others
  • Keep your hands away from your face
Do those 3 things and most people will be good. Since Disney is doing exactly that I would say many would be safer at Disney than grocery stores and other public places while certainly not being as safe as at home.

This attitude is part of the problem for CMs. They feel unsafe to go, but they feel cornered into no choice

I would take a wild guess that 50 % of those we feel unsafe people do feel safe enough to hit up the local shopping centers , restaurants and bars . I would feel unsafe too if I made more on unemployment than I did working. There are the legitimate few but most will continue to feel unsafe as long as the extra 600 is rolling in . Watch what happens when or if it doesn’t get extended!

What? This disease is still fatal to many. The question then becomes how many. Hopefully the number is small, but sadly there is no way to have tens of thousands of new infections with a 0% IFR.

Fatal to less to a good bit less than .28% that get it, under 65 .09% . Also 89% of the time the person had underlying conditions. from the CDC

Nurses work with sick people, that's... kind of the job.

It's like taking a job as an NFL referee and then claiming you have a religious objection to working on Sundays. "Yeah I went to nursing school and passed my exam, but oh no I didn't mean I wanted to be a nurse when there were actual sick people."

This, but not sarcastically.

There is no "shut down to limit total cases." That's not an option. At best, even another full shutdown will do nothing but delay the inevitable. Absent a vaccine, cases will continue to rise no matter what. That's just a fact. As long as hospitalizations aren't straining capacity, we just have to accept it.

"Flatten the curve" doesn't limit cases. It just spreads cases out over time so that the peak doesn't exceed hospital capacity. The area under the curve is the same.

exactly and better to do it now than before the winter regular flu season.

It doesn’t matter what ’I did for a living I wouldn’t sit home collecting unemployment if I was capable of working. It’s not the way I was raised.
