Moe's on 32nd who always used to fail their health inspections? Doesn't surprise me!

Why do I feel like I just got done listening to 1310 AM's lame afternoon show?

Come on they were essential!

What?! I'd be interested in learning how an o2 mask and tank is going to slow the spread.

I'm sure we agree on alot. Keep in mind most infected with Covid are asymptomatic. Since we aren't sheltering in place, we need to take extra measures to make sure it doesn't spread like a wildfire. This means ramping up testing, contract tracing, and quarantining the known infected. And when you are out and about, please be considerate. Give people some space, don't go touching everything / don't bring your kids in the store to touch everything, and please wear a mask to protect others from what you might have. So far we've got some of the bases covered. But when we've got people coming out and saying nobody will force them to wear a mask in public since it's their civil liberty to walk around without a mask and accusing people of living in fear when they question our lack of testing....just have some common decency.

Maybe this will be a good learning experience to everyone. If you are sick, stay home!

You in Grand Forks? Where will you seek your medical care? How about buy your groceries?

You realize that the facemask requirement at local medical centers and many retailers is fairly new right? If you go to Altru will you refuse to wear a mask? How about Hugo's?

Well you better get prepared. Just don't do this when you are asked. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/05/04/security-guards-death-might-have-been-because-he-wouldnt-let-woman-store-without-mask/

Because we have no statistics on Covid19. It's starting to affect some kids, and we know nothing of it's long term affects on infected children. https://abc7ny.com/mystery-illness-children-coronavirus-nyc-update/6152212/

I haven't said that. I am simply pointing out that we are in a SmartRestart campaign and not following the testing numbers that Burgum has laid out.

Why do people questioning our state's current testing capability enrage you so? Why worry what's going on in my mind? We've got loonies out there that think it's their right to parade around without a mask. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/05/04/security-guards-death-might-have-been-because-he-wouldnt-let-woman-store-without-mask/

It’s happened in other places so what makes North Dakota special?

I think the goal with testing is to allow us to respond before bodies start falling from the sky.

When does the testing stop? I think the bigger question is when will tighter social distancing restrictions be re-implemented.

I’m just going by numbers Burgum has mentioned. When we are mass testing long term care facilities but our test numbers are on the decline due to lack of supplies it’s a little disappointing.

I read we were shooting for 3000 daily in May here... https://bismarcktribune.com/news/local/health/covid-19-death-toll-in-north-dakota-rises-to-14-state-to-expand-testing/article_1d921361-9d82-584b-a988-e22531bc4dc2.html

If the Burgum is going to open things up claiming a smart restart and shooting for 3000 tests per day, there should be some follow through on this.

Oh I'd just like to see the percentage of positives continue to trend downwards. If we are going into this blindly is it really a smart restart?

We ran out of testing plates and the state lab has a backlog of 5000 plus tests. #smartrestart

Very important to those that matter to me I hope:) Make sure not to miss his next twitter post!

You asked me why I don't believe him. I don't read anything he writes because I have no interest in his writing. I'm honestly shocked I took the time to respond.

He lost me at pot creating psychotic behaviors.

If it makes you feel better I'd take your word over Berensen's any day.

Most would take Kaukster's word over Berensen's.
