Shelter those at risk...if that means they stay indoors...that is an individual decision.
Not saying it’s 100% effective. I saw study that your 6x less likely to get infected if your near someone who is carrying and your both wearing masks. That’s legit. Other studies saying the virus would be well contained if we had 80% mask usage when in close contact.
We all obviously should support mitigation efforts. I wouldn't say 65 is some magical cut-off. There are plenty of folks in their 70s and early 80s that are very healthy and free of comorbidity. Death rates don't get real high (relative to the median of the disease) until you get into the 80's.
So, healthy 25 year-olds should avoid 55 year-old parent who has asthma or diabetes and 75 year-old grandparents.
Great running trails as I remember from my younger days. Great memories there too...
I mean maybe. How about just be cautious. My kids wear masks at all times around my mom, and she hasn't hugged them in months. It's driving her insane. But I'm not going to lock them in a cage just because they will come into contact her. She actually said it. "Why should they have their lives ruined because I am more at risk?" Just be smart, or else continue to hide in your house.
What are you doing now? Are they still alive? DO THE SAME! and hope for the best!
If you are that healthy 25 year-old, and you wish to maintain contact with your at-risk family, you need to act responsibly. The anecdotal evidence (photos of beaches, bars, and political rallies) showing little use of masks and physical distancing, does not bode well.
Put group a on the island of Puerto Rico so the rest of us can enjoy sports and move on with our lifes. I’m actually kidding here Well kind of.
That’s exactly it. I have a parent battling cancer and is also a diabetic I have spent zero meaningful time with her since the outbreak which is tough but I do it for her health. You can’t expect healthy ppl to stay home until
I do expect healthy people to act responsibly in order to keep from becoming spreaders of the virus.
WTH is that supposed to mean?
Cuserunner's opinion and yours and mine, etc., are valid only to the extent they are based upon facts. Otherwise, the term BS is operative.
Can’t have an opinion anymore unless you are cancel culture or stay home the sky is falling
No one is telling you to stay home. Hell of a lot of stuff at phase 3 you can do in NYState, but the nature of this virus is that until treatment/vaccine they will never let 50,000 people cram together IMO. I I’ll just add I may disagree with him but I have nothing negative to say about Texas Mark, I have known him for years and he is a class act all the way and his tailgates are legendary . Can’t wait till we get past this thing in earnest and my next road trip takes me to one of Marks gates.
