I've looked taken the approach in the last 4 or 5 months that the original message we received from leadership was the only pure message, meaning non politically driven. So look at the message in late march and you'll see exactly how this has played out. -We can't stop this virus, we only hope to not overwhelm the hospitals, so let's shut down for 14 days and ramp up PPE production to make sure aren't overwhelmed. -Cloth masks have almost no effect and can actually end up being detrimental because people will have a false sense of security, touch their face too often and not use it properly to have any effect(Osterholm quote) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say things in ND got pretty f**king quiet for a while there. Hair salons and restaurants did not re-open until early May, and even then very slowly. So many media observers and pundits were basing their 'assessments' of local activity solely on gubernatorial proclamations, which obviously did not tell anything close to the whole story. Even states with "orders" that were hailed by activists as sensible were chock full of countless exceptions and carve-outs for "essential" activities. Bottom line, nobody "fully closed down."

People have retreated to their corners on this one, but how can proponents of continued lockdowns and mandated restrictions not see what's happening around the world? Lockdown all you want and you're just kicking the can down the road. Protect yourself and protect the vulnerable and let the rest of us get back to keeping the country from collapsing. It's the only way forward on this one no matter how many emotional arguments get made about not caring about Grandma and Grandpa.

Correct and we didn't see any major outbreaks among essential workers at least not in Minnesota. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that Trumps fault too? It's all of a master plan. set forth by Walz. MN public schools returning to face to face classroom criteria is based on active cases per county per Walz. Schools in MN started after Labor Day. Between September 7 and October 7 the daily tests in MN more than doubled. Coincidence? Hardly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left NYC at the end of March, and at that point, there was no difference in rules really between here and there. Everything here was closed until about the time I finished finals in mid-May. We did the same thing everyone else did at the beginning. Perhaps the state wasn't mandating it? I dont know, all I know is we could only drink at home and we couldn't go to Mass or out to eat lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why schools need to be open. Normally I dont care if America lags other places a bit in education stuff, but having a generation of students losing a year of learning is not great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be convinced that internet is worse than verbal, as it's harder to escape. Hayduke and several others here have posted in this thread in a manner that earns them a personal attack in return. Choosing to attack with homophobic jokes rather than political name-calling or a simple "x is a moron" seems to tell me more about the attacker than the individual being attacked though.
