Yesterday the Governor of California said, in-so-many-words, that sometime today he would decide if the state will go back into "stay at home lock down"!!!

Again, , , , , all of the "It's Over" folks may end up being very disappointed if/when this COVID hassle does get worse and ends up making March and April look like the Little League!!!!

Ya, ya, ya, the "economy" really is pretty important but, just how long can we go on when/if the daily case count does go to 100,000, and most hospitals get overwhelmed with all the patients and an ADDITIONAL 500,000 deaths this year??

How long can a business, any business, stay viable if it has to close every couple of days because a worker has tested positive??

It is best if we "lock down now", again, and keep everything possible "under control". If not, things could get really bad to the point where no amount of "stimulus" will help much anywhere.

Looks like the "it's over" folks are becoming the "who cares" folks. They will resist any efforts to shut down or isolate again, no matter how many people contract the virus, get sick, or die.

Profits are far more important that people in this country.

You can let the press get you in a tizzy. Best not to look at anything they put out, however. It is over. Mop up operation now.

NY has had over 31,000 deaths but Desantis is the bad guy here because of Florida's 3,500 deaths?

That means it's over. Exactly what I have been saying. But, it is not "who cares" people, it is "knowledgeable"people who now know the real dangers after 3 months of information has come their way. We now know that this isn't a threat to the vast majority of us. The press is driving this now with scare stories. Fine by me if you guys get fooled again. But most of us are not.

You nailed it rusty. It's no longer plausible to say it's over so they have evolved into a who cares. They are following trump's direction. He doesn't care and so now they don't. Listening to Tpapsmear's evolving defense of trump finally petering out into naked apathy is remarkable. It was probably inevitable but seeing it play out in our forum so clearly. Our little surfers forum is a perfect microcosm of the US. It's always a strange feeling watching smart people make stupid defenses of things like Trump's inability to see this pandemic as anything more than his unfair re-election prospect. I know we all aren't supposed to agree and the discussions that aren't arguments are enjoyable, but this latest cover, the "it's over" to "who cares" is not just a support of trump, it's an impersonation of trump.

I actually know plenty of trumpers that are not following trump's direction. in fact they are doing complete opposite of what trump says. there are a few token trump idiots like tpap but they are becoming extinct.

This virus does not impact everyone equally and you should seriously question the intentions of anyone who tries to tell you otherwise.

We know who is at risk.

Only 17% of the people hospitalized with COVID are under 65 years old.

89% of those hospitalized had preexisting conditions and we are well aware of what the preexisting conditions are.

I don't think it is reasonable to expect businesses to remain closed, restaurants to run at 25-50%, etc. when we know who it is targeting. If anything, restrictions should be put on the 10% at risk. As this drags out and 90% of the population has to run at 25-50% to accommodate the 10% who are at risk, more people are going to lose their jobs. Unfortunately, I think that is exactly what quite a few people are rooting for. Those people are pieces of shit. Don't be a piece of shit.

Snipe it's not just the "10% at risk", it's the 90% who come in contact with the 10% and may spread the disease to them that need to take precautions.

Parents, clients, customers, neighbors, friends. Funny how once again the whole world except the US and Brazil seem to be able to manage and are way ahead.

It's because we have the biggest population of arrogant morons like Sniper, FK, Tpap, and Cheater. I mean we got a Texas politician saying Fauci doesn't know what he is talking about. Morons.

Sorry, but we need to restrict access to the people at risk. Period. This could go on for 2 years, 3 years, hell it could go on indefinitely. We can't kill hundreds of thousands of businesses that people saved their whole lives to create because grandma prefers to go to the grocery store in person instead of having someone help her.

The CDC should be able to tell us right this second whether you can get COVID twice or not. If we know that, then you have someone who has already had COVID and recovered deliver the groceries to grandma and sanitize them for her.

We should be shaming old, obese, people for shopping in crowded stores at peak times of day, not some college kid for not wearing a mask.

Maybe senior citizens should be asked to shop between 7-9am and essential stores could do their best to deep clean at night when the stores are closed.

LOL Sniper wants to fat shame over 40 percent of our population and he is all for unequal treatment for those with medical issues. Oh, BTW, you left out other commodities like diabetes, weakened immune systems and heart disease. What about those people? Sniper, another arrogant douche that thinks he knows better....

What do your results mean?
If you test positive
A positive test result shows you may have antibodies from an infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. However, there is a chance a positive result means that you have antibodies from an infection with a virus from the same family of viruses (called coronaviruses), such as the one that causes the common cold.
