And I think you have to consider assaults, robberies, and thefts of all kinds when correlating crimes and poverty or at least financially disadvantaged individuals, not just violent crimes.

psuhoffman Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 @wxtrix poverty and crime are correlated at a statistically significant level. However there are multiple other factors so it’s not 1:1. There can be some poor areas that do better and some wealthy that do worse. And predominantly white regions with high povert have the same correlation so bringing race into this was unwarranted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinInTheSky Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I half have a feeling that some people want this thread nuked. Y’all please let’s not just spend 2 pages commenting on mods or on poverty and race and crime. So it looks like several other states opened up today. Just first stage openings save for some of the crazy states with full reopenings. Here’s a map. Most employers are still not bringing people in, most restaurants are staying closed, and it seems like today was a dud for retail stores with only a couple customers being reported at some. So tbh the ground truth may be that open or not, people aren’t rushing to eat at Applebee’s and be socially close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood that any food establishments could still technically do carry out, just like any other restaurants in the state. The retail stuff would still be under state order to be closed so I don’t think there’s much to do about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it’s not pending that. The “stay at home order” doesn’t prevent you from going outside to a public park. What makes a beach any different?

Akeem the African Dream Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 as a country it’s pretty clear we are ok with north of 50k deaths per month if it means being able to re-open the local TGI Friday’s for in house dining 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 8 hours ago, understudyhero said: I read it as "ready to open - pending a lift of the stay at home order that is currently through the 15th"? the beach, access points, boardwalk and inlet parking will be open for locals only. Social distancing will still be required, though no masks are required on the beach. The goal is to let the locals living in OC be able to go walk the boardwalk and beach. It is not meant for tourist to go to the beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 On the topic of kids, recent studies failed to find a single case of a child passing the virus to an adult. While I'm sure it's happened somewhere at some point, the only research and data we have right now seems to show that kids just never really become contagious. One of the examples cited was a 9 year old British boy. They carried out contact tracing and out of the 170 people he came into contact with, 0 caught the virus. Open everything up as if nothing were wrong? No, but we should be putting together plans on how to get kids to back school this fall. Take the summer to develop a plan that protects teachers from other parents and staff, but it's becoming more and more clear it's not kids who are spreading this thing.

Right, it’s the same as the non essential travel thing. People aren’t going to be randomly pulled over. You’ll only get caught if you do something stupid. The weather won’t be supportive of people randomly going though for the next week to 10 days so it probably won’t be to bad until next weekend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
