JerseyBo Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 @TheGoalNet, hey, I am assuming you’re an admin. If not who can I make this request to? I would like this thread shut down for now. It has become completely derailed by negativity and opinion on the current status of the world. That’s for FB not this thread. I did fire off a warning that if it didn’t stop I would ask for this. thanks, it was fun while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not pointless, and everyone should to their best to abide by the measures and protocols advised by the medical community on how to deal with this pandemic. People who are at risk should definitely be extra cautious, but the bulk of the population is on the way to getting COVID, it's inevitable, if about 1-in-4 New Yorkers already have it, it's kind of hard to avoid it there, people have to buy food, essential people have to work, lockdown can't last forever, 2nd and 3rd waves will most likely come, etc. You can't lock everyone in their homes for the next 2 years... in lieu of a miraculous vaccine emerging in the next few weeks, herd immunity is probably the only endgame, lockdown will probably only delay it.

The bulk of the population was always on its way to contracting coronavirus at some point. The goal of lockdowns and stay-at-home orders are, first and foremost, to ensure that the healthcare system doesn't get overwhelmed. (and it's estimated that one in five residents of New York City have contracted coronavirus at some point. Those numbers are from your own source, by the way,) Nobody is talking about locking people in their homes for the next two years. But abandoning lockdowns and stay-at-home order, a la Sweden, would result, at a minimum, in hundreds of thousands more Americans dying from COVID-19 than models currently predict. Which isn't even counting the knock-on deaths that result from an overwhelmed healthcare system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estogoalie Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Meanwhile back in Sweden... Quote A third of "healthy" nursing home residents tested positive for covid-19 https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/7459493 ...and in India, deaths in general are down 21% compared to last year in Mumbai...in part to less road accidents and murder due to the lockdown...I stand corrected, lockdown does save lives, if people are sitting home instead of out driving they are indeed safer Quote Central Mumbai, home to some 12 million people, saw the number of deaths fall by about 21% in March compared with the same month of 2019, according to municipal data. “If we’re not seeing an increase in deaths, the suspicion that there may be more COVID-19 fatalities out there is not true,” said Giridhar Babu, professor of epidemiology at the Public Health Foundation of India. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-india-casualties/mortality-rates-drop-sharply-in-parts-of-india-bucking-coronavirus-trend-idUSKCN2260WM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pennan Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/04/opinion/coronavirus-sweden-herd-immunity.html '' The American people are far less healthy than Swedes. They have significantly higher rates of diabetes and hypertension, two of the most-risky underlying conditions. Four out of every 10 Americans are obese. A herd immunity strategy in America would mean that many of these people would be on some form of lockdown for many more weeks, most likely months.,, other than that, do you have any god offseason drills for better butterfly?

motowngoalie Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 So this is pretty exciting. On a whim my 5 y/o sent a letter and a card to the Great One back in March, right after this whole thing started. It took about a week to format and write the letter which kept him more than occupied. We got it back today, 2 autos on the card and one on the letter as well. He's absolutely stoked. Definitely a great way to start another week with no school, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
