What is the magic age between non transmissible and transmissible? I asked the google, no answer. Who reported that children cannot transmit covid?

I've been very aware of the risks prior to March as I have a couple immunocompromised individuals in my family. Now that our country is losing roughly 1,000 lives/day to a novel virus that we have no idea of long term side effects, sure my concern has grown. And to allow those in your family that are immunocompromised(I have a few in my family too) to be able to just live their lives normally without simply quarantining/masking/protecting themselves how they see fit, how many businesses must die, how many kids must have their education irreparably set back, how many abuse victims quarantined with their abusers, how many marriages must collapse, how many people turning to addictive substances to cope, how many suicides? How many people's lives is the appropriate number to be ruined for the immunocompromised? 2

Personal responsibility would be those that are vulnerable, or just freaked out by the media, having the burden on them to wear the appropriate protective mask/accessories if they chose to partake in public activities (which is a voluntary activity). It's really not that hard of a concept. Much easier than draconian threats for every single person to wear a mask 24/7. 1

Have immunocompromised people in my family too. The reality is that the condition that causes them to be immunocompromised in the first place is multiple times more likely to negatively affect their lives than whatever the latest virus is that SE Asia has slung across the ocean every couple years. I'm capable of making informed decisions regarding the risks we are willing and not willing to take. Unfortunately others are apparently not so capable so they want to impose their misery on others 1

Oxbow6 Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Let's not even get into the fact that a majority of people have no idea how to handle or wear a mask properly regardless of the type.

SiouxForever Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Wonder what everyone is waiting for? More tests, test rates to fall, deaths continue to fall, economy to drop for the democrats? Sales surge of masks etc for China? Someone tell me what will be different today (checks calendar, July 17) than a month or 2 months from now. I’ll wait. If you say more people wearing masks to flatten the curve again, well, no sh^t. This is the biggest hoax/scam in our lives. If masks worked then why aren’t small businesses opened? If masked don’t work, why were big box retailers at first allowed to be open for business? Again, this virus is a mystery. So advanced, it knows who can/can’t be open. Knows one should social distance for 6 ft. Knows that one should quarantine for ~ 2 weeks (no science behind this) if one gets it. I could go on.... No surprise after the 4th of July, you started to see liberal universities cancel fall or fall/winter sports. Supporting that narrative agenda. You don’t say? Fear, we’re all doomed, we’re gonna die 2

I think we had a break through today. The same hospital systems that allegedly were so full that Navy medical ships were needed......stadiums like the Fargodome were getting equipped with beds.....and campus dorms were considered being used as makeshift hospitals? Those same hospital systems? I never heard what came of all of that, did you?

I don’t know if they’d open everything up but I’d be ok with it, as long as known infections were isolated and social distancing was still in place. I don’t make the rules though, at this point we can only control our own.
