Covid fatigue is real get out of your bubble

Careful with that term

It's nice to see a wetter pattern trying to develop. Now, just need to some cold air as we head into November.

Sure is an improvement. Testing #s are also increasing, which is somewhat attributing to more positive test numbers.

I mean, wtf is this "dawg"? I have no clue who you're referring to, but if it's me, sure there are measures I certainly disagree with. Doesn't mean I don't follow and comply with restrictions where needed. You do realize you can disagree with something, yet still perform the said task right? You should question and not follow blindly. Weren't you going to stick your fingers in a socket or something a few pages back?

Not everyone has to live in total fear to act like the virus is a big deal. I don't recall anyone in this thread saying they don't follow restrictions. We are presenting debate, and not always believing what we are fed by media.

Do you think things through and realize there are side effects to this? Yes, 2k a month might sound great to you, but the consequences aren't worth it. Mental health issues, domestic abuse, child abuse, substance abuse etc goes up.

So you would prefer a true lockdown?

Thanks for noticing, there's a clear bias that was called out long ago.

I mean, at least put a little effort into a response. There are studies all over about this. https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/herd-immunity-lockdowns-and-covid-19 "However, these measures can have a profound negative impact on individuals, communities, and societies by bringing social and economic life to a near stop. Such measures disproportionately affect disadvantaged groups, including people in poverty, migrants, internally displaced people and refugees, who most often live in overcrowded and under resourced settings, and depend on daily labour for subsistence."

I don't care what you want to call it, point still stands.

Wide scale lockdowns were ineffective. No need to go back to them and damage our economy even more while putting more people out of work. Localized restrictions maybe.

Ya those don't look bad at all. May not be a year for prolonged snow cover, but hopefully will be closer to normal at least. Noticed 07-08, most of snowbelt was 120"+, with a peak of 176.6 in northern geauga.

Most likely will be a low flu season with all the precautions already in place

Well said

If needed, hopefully they can figure out how to actually utilize the secondary hospitals after nyc https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/508303-new-york-city-spent-52-million-on-coronavirus-hospital-that-served-79

Wtf are you talking about, it's definitely a topic right now.

That's fine, but what really seems to fall on deaf ears is when it's mentioned the reasons for the mask less crowd and covid fatigue. It's like some just don't want to hear that or even acknowledge those things exist. It's a real problem, and it's an increasing problem. Herd immunity....was simply posting an article. It's a topic that is routinely brought up and should be discussed. That's what an open and free society does. There's too strong of a mindset in here that some are right and don't want to hear otherwise. There is a very clear bias.

Not sure where in ohio you're talking about, but we usually do pretty well thanks

Someone say memes?

some in here do need to loosen up though, way too tightly wound

Yup, need more awareness to promote healthy lifestyles.

What exactly are you quoting here?

Those with weakened immune systems or pre existing conditions should be taking extra precautions and not going out. The rest have no reason to not be out and about.
