https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/california-coronavirus-cases.htmlSouthern California reportedly has just hit 0% ICU bed availability. COVID cases are skyrocketing in California, and remember - they had the most stringent lockdown regulations across the country akin to places like NYC.
So why are cases surging? Turns out, this thing spreads regardless of what you do, and unnecessary regulations on small businesses do absolutely nothing. You have some businesses and industries closed AND a surge in cases. You destroy jobs and the local economy, and get to enjoy hundreds of deaths per day, with hospitals swamped.
turns out regulations are for people. because the virus has not legs or arms or eyes or a brain.its people that spread the virus and people that end up in hospital
turns out the virus doesnt spread no matter what.... it actually spreads due to what people do
so when there are rules for people. but those people ignore/disobey the rules.. then those people get affected
many people stupidly think regulations/rules apply directly to the virus and not the people. stupid people think ok its a strict lockdown so while i continue to mingle the virus will decide not to move..
sorry thats not how it works. people need to stop mingling.
so when california see too many people... ill repeat PEOPLE mingling in bars/pubs/clubs then those businesses need to close.
here is the thing. if PEOPLE were more smart to actually respect personal spaces. they would not spread the virus. and there wouldnt be a 'super spreader' event in bars and clubs. meaning that bars and clubs could remain open.
yep if people actually followed the ADVICE. then it would not then be extended into enforced laws.
so if you dont want to spread the virus. dont disrespect personal space
remember hospitals see PEOPLE on hospital beds. so ask how did those PEOPLE get the virus.
its not a situation with little breadcrumb sized beds having nano sized viruses where hospitals treat the virus.
hospitals treat PEOPLE that have the virus because those PEOPLE came into contact with other PEOPLE
..
i understand your mental methodology where you would prefer bars/restaurants to do a age check and disallow access to people over 50, rather than a mask check.
but if lots of people under 50 mingle. and then go home and breathe around their older relatives. the result is the same.
so they need to even stop the under 50's from getting it, even though most wont get sick. they still pass it onto others who will spread it.
..
when it gets to a point where there is no more hospital capacity. they need to seriously stop all spread as much as possible. because it seems people just cant take the advice before it got to such a problem..
like you Gyfts. even knowing there is no capacity left. you still want to mingle in bars and restaurants.. which just shows you are ignorning the advice not to mingle with strangers in public indoor spaces
