What's the point of the stupid line about the percentage of cases of those who are 29 and below?
To scare and to shame.

It's political math. Not real math.
Somewhere around 1% of the general population currently has it. That number has been pretty consistent throughout. If one person at your 50 person gathering has it, you are above average to start with (2% of your gathering), but even then, the likelihood that you will spend 15 minutes talking with them, far below 90%. Order of magnitude, probably two, at least, lower. You are just as likely to have zero cases in the venue.
It is fearmongering and nothing else. But we knew this judge was going to rule in marxist favor. Hopefully, they've already filed appeal.

Same here. Bumped along at a low level and then took off in the last month. One of the banks reopened the lobby after installing sneeze guards and putting placards on the floor for people to stand six feet apart. Didn't matter. They immediately had five employees test positive, three of them symptomatic. They had the place professionally fumigated after each positive to no avail. Fhey're back to cobducting all business via the drive through.

Looks like we need tighter restrictions while locked in JBE's Phase 2.

I’ve been saying this from the beginning, restrictions should have been regional/parish wide.
NOLA doesn’t need to be shut down because LC is having a spike. Just like Shreveport didn’t need to be locked down when NOLA was having their spike. Shutting down the entire nation did nothing but tank the economy and did nothing to prevent areas that didn’t have the virus from getting it once they opened up.

Yet when JBE was asked about regional restrictions at some point he said “I hadn’t thought of that”.

Regional restrictions don’t really make sense in a state which is largely rural and inherently territorial from workplace perspective.
ETA: and regional restrictions would mean more responsibility for local government officials. If you guys think JBE is useless, sheesh, imagine locals in charge. Would be a fricking nightmare.

We really don't. We just need to give the mask thing a chance to bring real numbers down. From where I sit it does appear to be having a positive effect. Just hold the line and we will be ok.

What? Wouldn’t a state that is largely spread out and inherently territorial make more sense to have regional restrictions as opposed to state wide, uniform ones?

How so when it’s coming from the governor what regions need to be under restrictions?
Posted on 8/6/20 at 2:22 pm to Oilfieldbiology
Not exactly. What I mean by territorial is, because we’re rural, our work areas are often comprised of several geographical locations. That’s not conducive to mitigating spread IMO.

So your argument is an individual whom you don’t think is capable of managing one set of restrictions is somehow more apt to handle several varying levels of ever-changing restrictions? Brilliant.

So you'd rather lockdown entire state than not allow travel for some rural area people from region to region?

Here's some hopeful news

Methodist was the first to report the rapid recovery of patients on ventilators and those with severe medical conditions after three days of treatment. The drug is called RLF-100 and is also known as aviptadil. It has been approved by the FDA for emergency use at multiple clinical sites in patients who are too ill to enter the FDA’s Phase 2/3 trials.
According to a press release from the drug maker NeuroRX, independent researchers have reported that aviptadil blocked replication of the SARS coronavirus in human lung cells and monocytes.
According to the report, a 54-year-old man who contracted COVID-19 while being treated for rejection of a double lung transplant came off a ventilator within four days. According to the report, similar results were seen in more than 15 patients.

I’m not interjecting what I would rather do, just that I understand it’s sensibility.
If things were my way, we’d be completely open and people wouldn’t be jackasses. That’s wishful thinking.

Yeah. I was in a restaurant (not naming it) last night. It had a bar area and, of course, booths and tables. The bar was completely packed. I just had to laugh.
Posted on 8/6/20 at 2:33 pm to AmosMosesAndTwins
I want the governor to not lock down the entire state because a region or regions are having high cases. I’m pretty sure anyone can handle that, but that’s not the criteria we have been operating for some reason than.

We were on the way down before the mask mandate.
