People complaining that TN is opening up to early

First of all it exempt the 4 largest cities Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga which has the largest numbers of cases. But even here in Chattanooga the numbers are low and have lessened 131 ppl have been diagnosed 80 of which have recovered. Also now there's only about 2 a day being diagnosed. Most TN counties are seeing no or very few cases same with GA. Which says something about the democrats ran cities and counties in those 4 largest areas. But it's time for people to get back to work. If people continue to be unemployed like this and business closed we're going to lose alot small businesses especially since Nancy pelosi and her goons refuse to cooperate on putting more money toward the small business loans

They came up with the same reasoning over here in Lombardy at first. Less than 50 cases, "everything is under control", "starving will kill more than the virus", "it's just slightly worse than a flu", "our hospitals can handle it well, we've much better structures than China did". Because of them we've had to lockdown the whole country for more than a month.

@Elessar we're talking about most of TN were most counties are seeing less than a dozen cases and the ones that are usually are involved somehow in large cities. No reason for my mom's county that has 5 cases to continue to have everything closed cause Atlanta supposedly has 1000s

@foggymorning31 I hope they're only those. The number of detected cases makes sense only if divided by the numbers of tests performed; there are places that have close-to-zero cases simply because they don't test much (or test only severe cases, which has been Lombardy's biggest mistake, and the WHO's worst guideline as well).

Also, the virus spreads exponentially, i.e. undetected case can infect averagely three people, who may infect another three each. That's what lead us to a catastrophic state from probably a single infected person over here. Masks and distances guidelines, if followed by most/all, should at least hopefully prevent or reduce the occurrence of this.

@Elessar and there's evidence that large Democrat ran cities and states are inflating their numbers by adding anybody who died in last 3 months no matter they tested positive or not

Elessar · 26-30, M

@foggymorning31 I don't know about that, over here they're not inflated (actually, there's a shared belief they're underestimated because a lot of people died before getting tested) and the number is quite considerable.

@Elessar really China has almost 2x the us population but yet we have more sick and dead than them by far. Also the NY government added the people that's why their number of dead went up. Very suspicious that the largest numbers are in blue states and blue cities in red States. For instance here in Chattanooga. Chattanooga has over 100 cases but all the counties surrounding it have maybe a dozen and some none. Difference is Chattanooga is a blue city. But it's surrounded by red counties

@foggymorning31 I don't think anyone trusts China numbers at this point, they have the population of my whole state in a single city, did nothing for at least two months, and have reported something like 4600 casualties?

And just like numbers can be inflated by a faction, they can be under-reported by the other, I suppose.

@Elessar yeah communist tend to underreport number that's part why we really don't know the total civilian dead for Spanish flu or can't trust numbers from some countries cause some the genocide occuring in eastern Europe at the same time was thrown into 5he numbers of Spanish flu deaths to cover it up

@foggymorning31 So you'll agree it's better not to lower the guard too much. I agree that a complete lockdown is not feasible, but it's what you're forced to implement eventually if - like here - the whole things is taken too lightheartedly by the general population, authorities, or both.
