It's not madness in California. You are seeing it from a conservative perspective. In California, the libs all believe this is a great idea. It is for their safety and the common good.

It's madness here to some but not all.

Most of the people that have died from this were already in LTC (long-term care). 62 % in fact. Isolate them and the healthcare workers that come into contact them; not everyone else. Only 7 deaths have occurred in people aged 19 to 39 and not one single death of anyone below the age of 19.

Otherwise healthy people are not dying from this. That is a fact.

The whole lockdown was to "flatten the curve" and prevent the healthcare system from being over-whelmed. It's not overwhelmed here. Not even close. There are about 1,000 people in hospital due to COVID and less than 200 of them are in intensive care on ventilators. This in a province of 15 million people.

200 Critically ill people in a population of 15M.

That is 0.00001 %

Yep; better extend the lockdown for another few months....

Yup. First it was "flatten the curve." Once it was realized that there was no curve to flatten it was changed to "stop the spread." It will keep changing to suit the whims of politicians.

It's now about "get Trump out of office." Actually, it's ALWAYS been about "get Trump out of office."

Total infected here.....about 280

Total still dealing with it..... about 33

Total in the hospital........ 5

Total in ICU.......1

This is province wide numbers and it’s another 2 weeks (at least)before I can sit down for a restaurant meal inside

You haven’t flattened the curve yet.

while I was outside painting a door frame, Mrs. DAB was watching the news, and said they had some doctor on who was advocating for keeping everything shut down until there is a vaccine, which could take 10-15 years he guessed.

what's your next idea doc?

The people talking about shut down until we have a vaccine are pushing for socialism, plain and simple. There is no other reasonable explanation.

There is a reason why we don't have a vaccine for "the common cold", which by the way, is a Coronavirus. It is a mutating virus, and even if we do develop an effective vaccine, by the time it is manufactured and distributed in quantities that would have significant impact on the populace, the virus will most likely have mutated so that the existent vaccine would no longer be effective.

And people will say "What about the rest of the world?" and I tell them "Yeah, well you are perhaps underestimating how bad many global leaders what Trump out of office. He is upsetting decades of graft, economic dislocation, and communism in general.

When shithole countries aren't locked down and doing fine, you know this is all political as shit. And every nurse/doc/whatever in scrubs on TikTok should apologize to the American people for being total twats.

Hell, they’ve already said they won’t start regular school in September here.

Madness.

Maybe you haven't been keeping up with current events, but that won't help you much. At the moment, they are less aggressive at grabbing your guns, but I don't expect that to last much longer.

Kentucky used to be a great place that I used to visit from time to time. Unfortunately, visiting numerous times has allowed me to see the decline and decay that has happened there over the last third of a century. Sad. Very sad.

I wonder how much this will effect the price of real estate in LA County? I would imagine that people who can, especially renters, will flee the county, maybe even flee the state. There will probably be a whole shitload of evictions and foreclosures, too.
