actually that's not true at all, imagine what would happen if restrictions were lifted and all those potentially infected "southerners" were suddenly allowed free access to their cottages, campgrounds etc. on top of the normal mayhem on the roads, you've now got the added burden of Covid, and the requisite quarantining of exposed 1st responders and medical staff. 1 sick person can cause an entire shift at the fire hall, and a full ambulance crew, not to mention any ER staff exposed to be taken out of the loop for 2 weeks. hospital rooms aren't so much the problem as staffing, how many drs. or nurses can you lose before the hospital is overwhelmed, how many EMTS or firemen can you lock down before the station closes?
it's not about space, it's about people
Thats fine but does that mean we wait for a vaccine....I really don't think that is an option.

I am pretty sure we are not waiting for a vaccine. The shut down was to manage our hospitals. Its going to be hard to keep things so drastically shut down with hospitals at 25% capacity (with more capacity coming online). I understand that is directly related to measures taken, but the paradox is that we are also not waiting for a vaccine. Tuff spot to make a decision. Also a sharp increase in deaths had more to do with how they assign the data. A lot deaths were not counted if they were not actually tested, but die at say home. A super ramped up testing spread. The numbers to watch are hospital admissions and even more important ICU beds. At some point risk based thinking will have to be returned. Germany reopened schools, because the data showed a trend downward, not because they have a vaccine or there is no risk of getting it, but because they feel they can manage it. We are gonna benefit from these types of actions.
| Trip Planning » To paddle....or not. » 4/15/2020 1:24 pm |
An alternate way of looking at things would be to ask yourself "would this be ok to do if everyone was doing it?". For example, if you went on a day paddle, ...
We could extend this to anything. Outside of these current circumstances would it be okay for everyone to camp on crown land? Okay if everyone drove to work? Okay if everyone wanted to ride the same bike path? Okay if everyone bought a canoe?
The reality is everyone won't. The only people who would go paddle are people who have access to a boat and that automatically limits the number.
I do get your point but the level of hypothetical speculation weakens the argument.
lol too funny awesome logic...so i will not be using my toilet today because you know would i really want everyone to take a dump in MY toilet today
