This is why employers need to be as flexible as possible with workers. It’s impossible with certain jobs to flex hours Or work from home, but in a lot of cases it’s doable if people think outside the box. We’re all in this together and this virtual schooling crap is a reality we all have to live with somehow.
Florida may not be in full lockdown, but they aren’t in full opening either. Sort of that weird middle ground where I feel there are unknowns.
I think we know the knowns.Just how bad will it get. Hopefully not to bad whatever each person’s opinion on bad is.
I’m truly not trying to argue but I don’t understand what you mean by not fully open? Sure there are not conventions and concerts but restaurants are open at 75% capacity if I’m not mistaken and of course theme parks regular parks etc. A lot of stores have begun mandating masks but that was only last week. And I don’t think some go into affect until August. And then of course bars. That might not be considered normal but I consider that way too open. Maybe that’s what you meant by the middle ground? I guess I’m just an alarmist at the core and I see people out and about acting like everything is normal.
I think they are at 50% capacity. There are also limitations on large gatherings and a few other things. I personally think they should have a statewide mask mandate. But I was just pointing out that everything there is not fully opened and up and running.
It’s an odd place that they are in. If you remember back to end of April and the metrics FL set for re-opening, most of the state today would not get the green light to move to phase 1 of re-opening, but they are well beyond phase 1 and into most of phase 2 still. The pull back hasn’t exactly happened as expected or planned.
Yeah, probably. It’s just a bit of sarcasm since we heard repeatedly from the Covid denier crowd back in the end of June that the spike in cases was irrelevant because it’s just young, asymptomatic people. Death rate was all that mattered. Now the death rate is irrelevant because of the lag in reporting. I get dizzy from all the spinning
Purgatory?
Academically, it’s an interesting experiment. FL is bucking the trend of pulling back on as much activity during a major spike in cases and I’m assuming the goal (hope?) is that cases come down anyway on their own and then the government takes their victory lap saying they saved the economy and got the same outcome they would have had they pulled back. In real life practical terms you are gambling with people’s health and lives. It’s a big risk. One thing that everyone has to keep in mind is the people have a choice. Just because the governor doesn’t mandate masks doesn’t mean everyone can’t wear them anyway. Just because the governor allows bars to remain open using the restaurant loophole doesn’t mean you can’t avoid them or just get takeout. Just because theme parks are open doesn’t mean you have to go...etc.Purgatory?
Definitely I would say at least 45 days
yes, Spain is having a shaky time right now.
Yeah I feel like enough counties are NOT mandating masks that now we’ll see a rise in those counties because nay sayers will drive an extra 45 minutes just so they don’t have to wear a mask. I’ve seen people in my local groups saying they’ll just stop giving business to target, Walmart, and publix... ‘there are other places to shop’. Have fun finding Sally her coveted Barbie doll at ‘Jim Bob’s deli and tool store’
Belgium is getting worried. Germany. France. UK.
Difference is- they’ll do something about it
