Should America just cut its losses?

[SoutheastBeast1]

This quarantine experiment is clearly failing.

The virus is still infecting everyone.

Is it really worth keeping this up pretending like we’re doing something and drag everything else (the economy) down with it?

This is like watching the gambler who thinks he can win his money back lose it all instead of walking away from the table and salvaging what he has left.

People making too many emotional decisions thinking we’re saving people right now when we’re not.

What do you think this is blackjack? The fed has to put money in before it collapses. If we turn everything on now without flattening the curve, the infection rate will get much higher and things would be worse. Once the number of new infections goes down, we'll be opened up again.

Yall noticed China death toll went from like 3k to 6k today?

I know they been hiding their numbers but where did these new numbers come from?

Dont worry everything will be just fine

The quarantine only looks like it is failing because you don't have the results of NOT quarantining to compare it to.

You strike me as a real cuckold

Nobody wants to do what is difficult and admit people are gonna have to die. Boomers have spent their entire lives deluded believing they are invincible and nothing bad will ever happen to them. Now everyone has to suffer to keep the boomer delusion going.

And I wonder what the media fuss is about the testing company that still has 160k tests to go though in the US backlogged 10 days. Once they run those the numbers gonna shot up.

Just watched a program and some scientists say this 6’ distancing is a joke . Virus can go as far as 27’ . So now their rethinking this and debating on everyone wearing masks period .

It only looks like a success to you because you don’t have the results of not quarantining to compare it to.



See how easy this game is to play?

Where did you read that quarantine isn’t working OP?

[ltsOgre]

Lose lose situation. If only Donald Trump didn't screw up testing at the start we could contain this virus through testing alone, like South Korea. Donald Trump is a real piece of chit.

[elterrible987]

yes


but its too late, they already fuked the economy.

we would have been better off doing nothing.

Look at the China virus infection map . States is certainly going for chit.
I don’t think spring break and gay parades helped much though

[HerculesGhost]

What we should have done is put WAY more funding into quick self-tests like the kind about to be used in Detroit tomorrow: https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/01/de...st-mayor-says/

Mail them out to as many citizens as possible and include a software that logs the results. We'd have much more useful data and a better understanding of how to operate going forward. The "number of cases" you see on that worldometer site is largely useless because it doesn't tell us much about the rate of spread and our testing is so limited that we can't re-test the earlier waves that survived the virus.

They also understated the degree to which its airborne. They took air samples inside the rooms of quarantined patients and in the hallway outside their room and find the virus in both air samples. Like floating around in the free air. Not from someone's sneeze mist.

would you like them to have jobs and a retirement?

because we just ruined that.

honestly, even full lockdown quarantine doesnt seem to be working in most places.. e.g. italy, spain, germany(i think)

by work i mean completely, or drastically, reduce the spread of the virus. obv you could say that without these measures it could have spread faster in those places, but i really question the efficacy of the measures in place when we are still seeing these rates of new cases.

I don’t want to beleef.

[VegasLifter26]

The quarantine is working but not to the full extent that it should. The cases being reported yesterday and today were people who initially got infected weeks ago. I still think its kinda pointless tho, just imagine how many germs are floating around in Krogers and Costco. Im not a medical expert so i have no idea but my initial strategy would have been to quarantine the elderly and people with prexisting conditions, while letting the spoiled millenials do all the work. Build some temporary hospitals in each metro cities and use empty hotels and ships for isolation purposes

Probably from the fact no one has any ****ing idea what they’re talking about.

These models change DAILY

If any of you actually think these experts aren’t just guessing out of their ass you’re naive as hell.

No one was trained for this. Sure they’re trying but some of you act like there’s a manual and shutting down is for sure effective

No. It’s just shutting down is all you can think of doing that might possibly kind of work.

It doesn’t actually look like it’s working though. Every day the expected peak gets higher, we need to be quarantined longer, etc etc etc.

Clear sign they’re lost. If they really had a handle on this thing they’d be able to say with certainty we need to be quarantined X days to have Y effect and it will be over.

Some of you need to learn to read between the lines instead of just blindly assuming the experts got this all solved.

Sorry to burst you’re bubble, those experts are just people. And you can tell from their behavior they’re all treading water trying to force a solution because they just don’t know what to do.


Imagine you’re an expert virologist. How likely are you to thrown in the towel and admit you don’t have a real answer? Probably not likely. You’re far more likely to watch a lot of other things burn in your wake of trying to solve it. Being able to solve these things is who you are as a person. It’s hard to walk away from. Like a captain who will go down with his ship.

That’s freaking nasty . Explains why it’s so infectious . We’re pretty much all going to have it at some point.
Goes to show why there were so many people getting it on cruise ships as it went threw the ventilation system
