Social distancing and Shelter in place worked?

SECDAWG

Simple question.

Has the Trump and Upper political figures orders to shelter in place and social distancing caused LESS COVID cases and deaths worked or have been working? or is this all a fallacy? If not implemented, are the results in this time frame the same as now, regardless?

fewer

and we will see more deaths from other things like rises in suicide than covid would have ever done.

Just keep granny quarantined for a few more months and let everyone else go on their business. Case closed.

So their strategy worked?

There would have been more deaths and problems if these mandates have not have been implemented?

Question is, how much more?

Question ultimately is, did/has it worked? Or just fallacy??

Also risk/reward...I’m a military guy. At what stage is the the reward greater that the risk?!

There’s more.

Reread.

That’s the problem PGOS. You pretty much nailed it in that response. I’m on both sides of that fence, obligatory, mandatory, professionally, and fuck it.

It’s my belief that it was a necessary move to avoid our healthcare apparatus from being overwhelmed, so it certainly saved lives.

But it’s been a month and it’s time to start moving towards opening back up. Inslee says we are nowhere close to being able to do so, which I think is bullshit.

It worked because we were able to calm down and figure out that it isn't that bad.

Now that we know it isn't that bad it's time to slowly start ending it.

The dems are claiming we are over a year out from being able to leave the house, and if you believe them....you might be a faggot

It’s my belief that when staring down 2,500,000 Projected US deaths within 30-60 days and All age groups will see Death. swift action needed to be taken.

But, actual data rendered the projection models to be totally worthless, (2,500,000 —-> 50,000 with 50% north of age 70). 90% of ALL deaths involve pre-existing medical conditions.

We learned excess hospital, ICU beds, equipment and staff capacity, successful drug therapy was the Nationwide reality.

Now, suddenly and without explanation, Democrats want to ditch Science to push Politics and Control over the populace.

Meanwhile #coronabros cheer their capture and surrender from Moms basement.

Yep.

It was the right thing to do when we didn't know. Now that we're fine and it's not a big deal they literally want to destroy America and ruin people's lives to spite Trump. It's fucking sad. And the worst part is its pointless....because Biden ain't winning

A lot of those public policy paradoxes around. This is not unique in that regard.

Yes.

The point of the shut down was never to halt our way of life until we had a cure or a vaccine. It was to get our scientific arms around this thing so we could understand what we were dealing with before things got out of control and the death toll reached into the hundreds of thousands.

That has happened. Our HCS was not overwhelmed, except in some small instances. Now, we can prepare for the next wave, whenever that happens and get back to living our fucking lives. It is absolutely insane to think we should hide under our beds until this thing has been eradicated. It’s just not gonna happen.

Well, apparently the public policy paradox doesn't work for leftards focused on the Russia, Russia Trump hoax. They still uniformly believe they were right. The models were always obviously wrong for the vast majority of the US. We had clear evidence that the Wuhan flu was a clear killer for the elderly, especially with pre-existing conditions. There was no "science" that supported locking down rural America. If was just virtue signaling and the prevailing leftard feeling that if everyone is miserable then no one is miserable. Take care of grandpa and grandma and those with compromised immune systems. Destroying the economy in the hope that the sheeple will then elect dems to save them is not what made America great. Wait until our state and local government leaders realize how much tax revenue is going to be lost.

I cannot wait for the Inslee press conference announcing thousands of State government employees furloughed.

thechatch

That will be solved with new taxes and earners will be asked(told) to “do their part” so everyone who wants to continue to hide under their beds can feel safe.

RaceBannon

We shut down too late and incompletely to claim victory by the hide under the bed crowd. Too many places didn't shut down.

The math was wrong and running a country on bad math is no way to go through life son
