It would only be temporary til cases start going down. IMO what should be done is if cases start rising like they are, you pull back a bit. When they start dropping you start opening again. Instead it feels like many just want to go full steam ahead. What happened to doing it safely?
Yes, and around half of all Covid deaths to date are in nursing homes and LTC facilitities. One source is today's press conference from Desnatis. He led the press conference with that stat.

The implication of the mask is that someone with COPD is more likely to be a carrier and spreader.
It seems to me that we would at least have some good anecdotal evidence if this were a problem. I was recently in the hospital with someone and all patients were wearing masks. It seems like somebody would notice that blood oxygen levels are lower than they should be if these masks were causing problems or even dangerous as some are trying to claim. At least since 2008 every healthcare facility I have been to has required masks for persons with cold or flu-like symptoms so it seems like that past experience would also have some influence if there were legitimate concerns.
I gather from you and the ones that share your thinking is that we should keep full steam ahead and let what happens happens? IMO the next phase of opening shouldn't happen til numbers go down.
As I have said before, no not full steam ahead at all. Move forward using the science and data that we are learning, and not make decisions on emotions and panic. We are generally moving that way, perhaps a bit slower than could be, but understandable the entire was freaked out for the past few months, it will take a while but we will get there.
Percent positive average over the past 7 days is over 10%. Not a good trend. A day or two can be volatility in reporting and testing but when the weekly averages start moving like that it is more likely the start of a trend. Remember that back in the beginning of May the gateway to start moving into phase 1 of re-opening was getting percent positive under 10% for a 14 day period. Not saying it’s time to talk about a full pull back, but people need to start taking the situation a little more serious.
At this point what are we really doing here? If they need a specially equipped enforcement brigade I think it’s time to reconsider the whole opening. If people can’t get it together and just follow some simple rules than shut it down. Sad, but do people really want to see security forces roaming the parks for enforcement? At what point is the magic just dead?
That is exactly why they will not enforce it very much, maybe less now and in any real sense in my opinion don't need to enforce it that much, especially with all the other things they are doing.
The only issue with this thinking is both hospitalization and death rate are lagging statistics. Look back in March in the hardest hit areas, the peak daily case and daily death days happened weeks after full stay at home orders were in place. I hope this isn’t the case, but a spike in cases today can end up with a surge in hospitalizations and even deaths a few weeks from now. Again, hopefully not the case, but it’s a worry for sure. On herd immunity, it’s going to be while without a vaccine.
people need to grow up and be adults... i dont want to wear a mask waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. The solution is have your normal security and cast members enforce the policy, and if people just wont do it, escort them out. If everyone is wearing them, people will wear them. Once people see that person over there not wearing them they will stop and you have a domino effect. Remember we thought smoking was going to be an issue and it really wasnt.
