I’m saying at this point, nothing is going to satisfy the lowering of restrictions. By the time anything is gained, a new strain shows up and scares everyone.
But I have a right to be tracked! How dare one elected person mandate privacy!
I hear what you are saying but you are only considering your own risk of contracting Covid. The Covid restrictions are not just to keep you healthy but also to keep you from infecting others. If there was a guarantee that when you got infected we’d know right away and you would be the only one impacted I’d agree that it’s your place to decide if you want to take that personal risk or not. Unfortunately with asymptomatic spread that’s not the case so your actions are being limited to protect others and for the greater good.
More so once they’re upheld by the courts.
I’d like you to ask the citizens of NC and CA what they think.
And the only way to know that would be through testing...rapid or daily testing, at the minimum.
or even doesn't make it common sense if you are among those who think this is a hoax, deny the +230K deaths, and refuse to do any mitigation efforts. Does the same apply to drunk driving or rufies or seatbelts?
Know what. Asymptomatic spread? Is that in dispute now too? I can’t keep up on what’s fake news anymore.
In the original reopening plan, there were metrics that, when met, would trigger the relaxing of restrictions. I’m not sure about every state, but Florida did not wait until those metrics were achieved before moving into subsequent phases of reopening.
And I can respect that...no one’s rights are more important than any others.
That’s not how government works. We elect representatives and give them the authority to enact laws that apply to everyone. It’s not up to what individuals “think.”
Hmm. I read that Casinos were frequently mentioned to contact tracers as possible exposure sites. Maybe the Las Vegas Review-Journal isn’t a reliable source?
Let’s worry about today and figure out what to do in 2, 3 or 4 years then.
no bars right now for me. Done indoor dining a cpl times but that made me uncomfortable and am minimizing that. No big groups for me. And I will not visit any friends or family who are older and/or facing health complications. So I am assuming risk, but also protecting others to the best of my ability. But in three years if we’re in the same boat, am I magically “selfish” for wanting to completely resume normal life? It’s a grey line, not right now, because of goals are to keep the health care system afloat, and protect others who aren’t as fortunate as me to be in good health. Until the vaccine...but if it doesn’t work effectively we then have to find a way to not point fingers and find an acceptable path forward. That’s all I am saying
As I mentioned a few pages ago, the original reopening plans set specific metrics, like infection rates, deaths, etc. that would trigger the next phase, relaxing restrictions. The question you ask actually has an answer. Once we limit the spread, get new cases and, hospitalizations down, we can relax. And once the numbers go back up, the restrictions come back.
With tens of thousands of employees and millions of guests I don’t doubt more cases will be linked to casinos than other business in Las Vegas, I’m just saying there hasn’t been any evidence that shows they are any more dangerous than any other business, I think that shows the safeguards work.
