Re: States that are opening up

My state is starting to open back up.

I think hair salons were just able to start opening yesterday or day before yesterday. I know where I go, they had posted on fb that they had openings.

I'm gonna wait this out a little longer. Just do not feel comfortable going just yet.

My State is still closed but this week many small business owners in my town decided the heck with this nonsense, opened their doors & are selling outside only...so far these hard working owners who always support our community haven't been hauled off to jail & it's great to see our community supporting them when they desperately need it.

I found it interesting that NY's governor recently stated that 66% of new coronavirus hospitalizations were people who were following lockdown rules.

Yep. They must have come into contact with someone who wasn't wearing a mask or following guidelines. It is highly contagious so it only takes one knucklehead to put you in the hospital.

I hope some of the hospitalized who were very careful about the rules can trace down the moment they were infected and find clear definitive proof of who gave it to them and then sue for damages. In most cases, probably not, but in a few I bet there would be clear causality and proof. I would think there also might be a DNA signature they could find. When enough careless people have to pay cold hard cash as a result of their careless health decisons, I think we'll see less of that funny business.

Last night, here in TN, I saw a tv ad for Steinmart, a department store. It was such a turn off. It was just basically a powerpoint background with animations and a voiceover. They announced they are open and safer than ever. No details about how. Or what to expect if you go in their store, whether you should wear a mask or anything. Then they breezed right into talking about some sale they're having. No video footage or pictures. I was even less interested in going in there after seeing the ad than I had been before I saw it.

It is great that the community is supporting them. There was a public service commercial the other day. Every time local schools or community sports teams need a fund raiser it is the small businesses that step up and help out. Now it is the communities turn to support them.

@wildcat fan, I saw that, too. But I bet that it's self-reported. For example, we are following lockdown rules but went to TJs a couple days ago. Also, contact can occur from just going outside and encountering people, which I do every day on my walks. I try to avoid them, but it doesn't always work.

Or they live with an essential worker who was infected outside doing their job or doing the shopping. Many of the infected show no symptoms and still are contagious.

Govenor Cuomo said that 66% of new cases were from people who had sheltered at home....hhhmmmm.

@wildcat fan : Sorry, I just saw your post above mine.

I believe it will be a few weeks to see how fast the virus numbers do or dont rise in the states and cities that are opening up.

As it is the government doesnt want these states to follow the CDC guidelines, so I'm sure some governors will just listen and throw caution to the wind.
