Trump will still be president. Certain people with certain political views will not be satisfied.

Not at all. I just don't trust the government one fricking bit.

Notice that the FIRST criteria they talk about is a decrease in influenza like illness. Not COVID-19 cases. INFLUENZA. Well, what do you think some of these politicians are going to do when the flu returns and that very first criteria goes out the window?

Yes, so the earliest anyone could fully return to normal would be after 42 days.

the one thing i dont understand is that we def do not have the infrastructure to set up testing and contact tracing as of now, which is a "core state preparedness responsibility" -

can these phases begin before this testing is set up?

Phase 3 happens comes in a about a month for almost everywhere.


14 days - phase 1
14 days - phase 2
14 days - phase 3

6 weeks if everything goes perfectly which is highly unlikely for most.

So you're on record that we will NEVER have full capacity sporting events, bars and restaurants going forward?

Yea, that's doom.

This is my concern, we're going to need way more testing done first. Once we get that this will be a solid plan

Also, just so everyone knows, this plan calls for close to, if not more than, 50% of the population to remain as shelter in place until phase 3


Agree - the criteria that constitutes "vulnerable individuals" is pretty wide-reaching. The difference would be that individuals get to decide for themself if they are "vulnerable" and should shelter in place. Essentially, it becomes voluntary (as it should be) rather than mandated by government.

But it doesn't make sense that the 42 days clock would start now. If a locales downward trend started two weeks ago, they should be able to do phase 1 immediately.

Right?

This is not rocket science, and is very similar to how we have lived in Hong Kong since January. It balances heightened safety precautions with some individual choice.

I still go to my office.
They take my temperature everywhere (into any building, on some busses, to walk in and buy a coffee...)
large groups of people are not allowed (in parks, restaurants, etc.)
I wear a mask everywhere in public.
Most basic rules to live by here:
*Wash your hands
*Don't touch your face
*Keep 2m separation.

the "curve" in HK is flat. But this took serious enforced quarantine measures for people with symptoms and newcomers into the country. But mainly, because almost all people followed the guidlines.

Phase 1 begins when the state has met the following

Do we even have the tests for this?

There is a ton of room in these phases for state and local governments to just continue this shite indefinitely. That is frustrating.
