The thing is nursing homes and the immune compromised don’t live in a vacuum where they can get what they need, i.e. food, necessities, physical assistance, without fear of exposure.Quite the opposite. This virus has gone on for quite a while now and yesterday was the first I've seen any real breakdown for the demographics and death rate in nursing homes in my state or anywhere in the US. In fact, more than a month ago when data from Europe was showing that over there the death rate statistics were showing it mostly affecting the elderly, our media tripped all over itself trying to find and report on cases of young healthy people getting sick and dying.
Our media and our leaders have been trying to suppress the fact that young healthy people face a very infinitesimal risk from this virus. The damn is breaking as the data here is coming out.
Its time to open everything back up. Nobody is preventing you from hiding in your basement for another 6-months Prax. Let the rest of us resume our lives.
Taking away the liberty of the healthy is not an acceptable way to care for the elderly or immuno-compromized.The thing is nursing homes and the immune compromised don’t live in a vacuum where they can get what they need, i.e. food, necessities, physical assistance, without fear of exposure.
The people that work with them and those in the supply chain are out in the world and risk bringing it in or out.
Not impossible to mitigate but can’t be “business as usual” either.
Excellent way to care for the unborn though.Taking away the liberty of the healthy is not an acceptable way to care for the elderly or immuno-compromized.

Death panels are great unless part of Obamacare!The GOP has gone full "let people die and sacrifice yourself to your workplace"
THIS IZ NO PLAYS 4 LAFS!!!Excellent way to care for the unborn though.
KWIT YER JOKING!Death panels are great unless part of Obamacare!
You are free to shelter at home for the next 5 years if that's what makes you happy.The GOP has gone full "let people die and sacrifice yourself to your workplace"
Go read the Politico about Graham County, NC where they locked the whole thing down at the county level, of/by/for the county officials, and the local inbreds who disagree blame the state government in Raleigh, but wouldn't give their names for fear of reprisals.It's oddly gratifying to know that the GOP wants to kill off its own voting base.
It's like they want to cut off their nose to spider face.
By a nearly 6-to-1 margin, people 65 years old and older say it’s more important for the government to address the spread of coronavirus than it is to focus on the economy. And as President Donald Trump increasingly signals interest in prioritizing economic interests, America’s senior citizens are growing critical of his approach.
In mid-March, this group approved of Trump’s handling of the outbreak at a higher rate than any other age group, with a net approval of +19. A month later, that level of support has dropped 20 points and is now lower than that of any age group other than 18-29-year-olds.

Are you suggesting that they are no longer pro-life?Republicans just became the biggest fans of late-term abortion.
They're pushing hard for 300th trimester abortions.
In other news, Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) as of a week ago is now a majority shareholder in Shopvac and several woodchipper manufacturers.Republicans just became the biggest fans of late-term abortion.

People in nursing homes are at risk for all communicable diseases. Does that mean we should never have business as usual again?The thing is nursing homes and the immune compromised don’t live in a vacuum where they can get what they need, i.e. food, necessities, physical assistance, without fear of exposure.

SNo, I'm not suggesting it. I'm saying it point-blank.
Well.....ok maybe that's not entirely fair.....they're pro-life as long as you're white and not old, sick or, middle-class, or poor.
Why do you hate western culture so much! Look what “we” built. If it wasn’t for western culture we’d still be living in mud huts and doing blood sacrifices to a weird deity so we could have a successful harvest. Look how far we’ve progressed as a civilized society!It's oddly gratifying to know that the GOP wants to kill off its own voting base.

Now hurry up and feed grandma to the DOW, the stock market is hangry.
Edit: iFall, my point is it’s not as simple as saying “skeert people just stay home”. Until there’s a vaccine, established treatment or herd immunity, the general populace should take some extra precautions. I agree the economy needs to reopen and think we can be smart about it.
This x 8753986392America is a society that is denial of death.
Along with that denial comes a comtempt for old people.
Our base instinct is to let grandma die. (See Grub's Dud's post.)
That would be the rational for suppressing the information.
Otherwise, the savage American hordes will be protesting at the old folks home: "Kill the old people!"
