Again, stay home if you want, there are some people who want/need to work though. It’ll apply here soon.
you are in fact 'SAFER at home' though. I'm fine with say Wayne County with it's 2 positive cases reopening as normal...but Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville have FAR higher numbers and should still take precautions IMHO. That doesn't mean you're locked away in your home or something. Mess around in the garden, watch a good movie, apply for your 600 a week and get that trump check.
Other than messing around in the garden....
everything you said is exactly "being locked in your home, or something"
you can still go walk up and down the street out in the sun, get some vitamin D as long as you stay 6 feet from other people.
Starving off a virus isn’t supposed to be fun time.
It also isn’t supposed to be sit at home and inflict unnecessary harm on the livelihoods of millions. Although that does appear to be a secondary goal for some.
It may not make sense for Memphis to reopen just yet but it certainly does make sense in a lot of places. There are many, many offices and even retail that can be operated as safe or safer than essential businesses like grocery stores.

Dictator-in-chief. With the executive orders being given by some of the governors, mostly democrat, it's amazing someone would write that about Trump. Even more amazing not to recognize the hypocrisy. You leftists truly have gone around the bend.

Really, despite the fact that about 20 percent of the counties in the country have no confirmed cases? I'm currently sitting in a state that never shut down. You know how many cases my rural county had? 2. 1 active and 1 cleared. How many of those cases needed hospitilization from a "big city"? ZERO. We never shut down, and we never overran the medical facilities anywhere.
The issue some states have had is when the residents of NY/NJ tried to escape the idiot leadership up there, and tried to leave their hotspot and go to an area/state that was still open. Sorry, you voted for that incompetant tyannical leadership, you need to live under it. This is the exact OPPOSITE of rural counties overrunning a city's hospital.
Congratulations - consider yourself very lucky that your particular location has had minimal cases. Tipton County currently has 83 cases, including an outbreak of 28 at the prison in Mason. Fayette has 20. Both of those counties' populations combined aren't even 1/5 of the population of the city of Memphis (not including Shelby County). Those are the two closest counties, and is with the stay at home order. There's no way those numbers won't increase if they fully re-open.
There's no reason to not keep the order in place at least until the absolute earliest expected date of the peak of cases - IIRC, that was mid-May, so 2-3 more weeks.

When gay bars open up in a city, the number of aids cases go up. SO we should shut those down?
We DO NOT CARE about the number of cases. What we care about is ensuring that we dont have so many cases requiring hospitilizations at one time that it overwhelms the medical system. RIght now, hospitals and doctors are FURLOGHING staff because of a lack of work.
Again, we dont care about the number of cases going up. That is no big deal.

and who is to say we haven't already hit peak cases? Just because a random model from Vanderbilt says it will be another month? This is the fourth consecutive day where the new reported cases of COVID-19 are less than 50.

The Vandy model had it mid-June IIRC. I'm saying go with at the very least the most conservative estimate, which was mid-May.

I don't believe traffic deaths spread via coughs or sneezes so I don't see your point...when wrecks become contagious, let me know.

PA is re-opening construction May 8th. Potentially.. On a regional basis. Which means Philly and Pittsburgh may not get to re-start on those dates, but other areas around the state can.

Good Lord. You don't think hospitalizations will go up if the number of cases go up? Come on, folks - this isn't hard.
I'm not opposed to a SLOW re-opening in the next few weeks, but it's just stupid to pick May 1 as an arbitrary date when the most conservative reports have pretty consistently had us hitting peak mid-May.
If cases continue to lower over the next couple of weeks, then consider reopening outdoor spaces & elective medical procedures. From there, if numbers continue to remain low, then start re-opening some "non-essential" retail with limited capacities. If the numbers don't spike, then continue to increase capacities incrementally.

People that are scared should stay inside and wear masks for at least 2 more years. Their locations should be monitored at all times to insure they dont surpass their fear threshold. Also mandatory breathing headgear that filters all air when outside and prevents verbal communication. They should also he severely punished if they dont comply. Maybe put the fear people in camps to protect them.
The rest of us normal Americans should get on with life. I doubt we will miss them. Orange beach opening soon.

gloating? I said it's good that Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville (where most cases are) will keep flattening the curve as per Dr Fauci (nationally) and Dr Jain (locally)...I'll go with professional medical advice over a political message board every time.

agreed. If you're gonna do it, do it right. just randomly picking the 1 day of the month to re-open because you don't like your stock portfolio is up there with saying 'meh, I feel better...so no reason to finish these antibiotics'
you'll just be back at the Dr's office in a few days...

If the numbers don't spike, then continue to increase capacities incrementally.
How about YOU arent the BOSS of me. How about FREEDOM. You are FREE to stay home forever. You are FREE to eliminate all risk from YOUR life. You are FREE to stay home.

I'm currently sitting in a state that never shut down. You know how many cases my rural county had? 2. 1 active and 1 cleared. How many of those cases needed hospitilization from a "big city"? ZERO. We never shut down, and we never overran the medical facilities anywhere.
The issue some states have had is when the residents of NY/NJ tried to escape the idiot leadership up there, and tried to leave their hotspot and go to an area/state that was still open. Sorry, you voted for that incompetant tyannical leadership, you need to live under it. This is the exact OPPOSITE of rural counties overrunning a city's hospital.
Congratulations - consider yourself very lucky that your particular location has had minimal cases. Tipton County currently has 83 cases, including an outbreak of 28 at the prison in Mason. Fayette has 20. Both of those counties' populations combined aren't even 1/5 of the population of the city of Memphis (not including Shelby County). Those are the two closest counties, and is with the stay at home order. There's no way those numbers won't increase if they fully re-open.
There's no reason to not keep the order in place at least until the absolute earliest expected date of the peak of cases - IIRC, that was mid-May, so 2-3 more weeks.
When gay bars open up in a city, the number of aids cases go up. SO we should shut those down?
We DO NOT CARE about the number of cases. What we care about is ensuring that we dont have so many cases requiring hospitilizations at one time that it overwhelms the medical system. RIght now, hospitals and doctors are FURLOGHING staff because of a lack of work.
Again, we dont care about the number of cases going up. That is no big deal.
Good Lord. You don't think hospitalizations will go up if the number of cases go up? Come on, folks - this isn't hard.
I'm not opposed to a SLOW re-opening in the next few weeks, but it's just stupid to pick May 1 as an arbitrary date when the most conservative reports have pretty consistently had us hitting peak mid-May.
If cases continue to lower over the next couple of weeks, then consider reopening outdoor spaces & elective medical procedures. From there, if numbers continue to remain low, then start re-opening some "non-essential" retail with limited capacities. If the numbers don't spike, then continue to increase capacities incrementally.

your rights only extend to a point before they start trampling on mine...the 'sacrificials' essentials and those out making essential trips don't want to get sick just because you're going stir-crazy

You have the RIGHT to stay home. You dont have the right to make me stay home. If you think you do, go for it and find out.
