Re opening is a crazy idea...

... Unless you have proper testing. The virus is still at large and there is a decline in new casrs BECAUSE of the lockdown. This doesnt prove the lockdown is unnecessary but that it is necessary. If you open up, you need to be able to isolate and control the virus or its Groundhog Day for the black death.

Just some of the comments here are incredible.

Firstly people think it is ok to not care for the elderly....but it is not just the elderly that are dying is it? It is everyone in the health services and their families most at risk after that group. And what of those with heart disease, diabetes, cancer, asthma? They are high risk.

And then if people do get it, dying is just the worst side effect, but people can end up with serious lung damage, respiratory problems for the rest of their life.

What is a few months of our lives for the sake of many. I do not understand why some people are just not getting it.

@InOtterWords Tell that to the 22 million out of work who can not provide for their families

@sunsporter1649 a corpse can't work and that's what releasing people is going to do

@juiceyangel333 Staying under the porch does nothing to prevent the spread of the kung flu, it just spreads it out over a longer period

@sunsporter1649 Calm down and have some soup...

@sunsporter1649 I should have known... crickets from you. Just like always.

@sunsporter1649 why are you in a rush to be outdoors? Have you checked your age?

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@juiceyangel333 I go fishing most every day, with my pet duck, Mrs. Jones. And I go to the grocery store at least twice a week. I am taking the same precautions that I take during flu season. My sympathies are with the 22 million out of work, for no other reason than new york is screwed up

@sunsporter1649 so it's okay if they go out and get sick at work?

@juiceyangel333 What is the purpose of the lockdown?

juiceyangel333 · 31-35, F

@sunsporter1649 if you have to ask...

@juiceyangel333 Curious as to why you dodged the question. Watch much pmsnbc?

@InOtterWords Well said and I am glad you hit on many of the points I wanted to make!

@sunsporter1649 of course I have sympathies with those people unable to work, my family falls into that category, but unchecked this virus could kill 10% of the population.

A few months out of our lives, that is all.
