Opening is better than SIP. Of course more people will die from covid19. But less will die from stress, unemployment and from spousal abuse
Whiles cases have jumped, death per day have been down sloping. Hope that trend continues
Seems like it’s mostly the young people who are catching it now. That’d explain the lower death rate. But will need to see a month from now as it takes a while for people to die…
So airline stocks won’t fully recover as long as Trump is in office. May soar after Biden wins on Nov 3rd.
Nut job running loose in San Jose.
- Highest Risk: In many states, up to two thirds of all extra deaths occurred in nursing homes — we clearly failed our most vulnerable
IMHO, too much politics.
That was literally what I said the strategy should be. Protect those in nursing homes by assuming anyone going into one is positive. Let the rest of the population catch it and move on. Now we have a lot of science and data that shows that was correct.
Report back from Tahoe this weekend. Beaches were fine - plenty of space to spread out - did one day at Kiva and one day at Nevada. Ate out one night at Riva Grill and was really disappointed in the social distancing measures (or lack thereof). Tables were not spaced out at all and there was no request to customers to wear masks when moving around. Our friend who works in Tahoe said earlier that week the tables were spaced out but when people started to come back in they just went back to normal. Trails weren’t too crowded, about normal for the summer. Also noticed Raley’s had person outside the store having to make people put on masks before enterting the store.
CA +6,492 new cases on Monday
Tallies continue to climb. Over the past week, the state has averaged 4,144 new cases and 64.1 new deaths per day.
I’m not in the “old/er” population, however nowadays I’m staying away from crowds as much as possible. Last week I was in Costco @1pm on a Friday and it was impossible to maintain social distancing. The only place in Costco where social distancing was possible was near the checkout counters where they had stickers designating minimum distances. Bottomline, social distancing in name only.
As an analogy to another virus infection, i.e. FLU - I’ve been getting the flu shots for the last 2 years as I was getting badly sick with flu every year in recent years(when I didn’t get the shots). I would like to avoid going through the same or worse suffering via Covid(even if I’m lucky and don’t die) .I don’t have any medical conditions which might aggravate my flu or possible Covid19.
As a comparison @41000 people died due to FLU last year in US(data from realclearpolitics) vs 125000 and counting from Covid19.
Costco Sunnyvale?
Go early. In Costco Cedar Park, as a 60+ I walk in 9am and leave 10am, no crowd. Easy to maintain social distancing.
Fremont.
Yeah have to figure out ‘empty’ time now. First few months after Covid, Costco was relatively empty(because Costco regulated the number of people at one time in the store) + customers were more ‘worried’ of getting Covid, so they were careful. Now, I think large number people are getting lax thinking this isn’t a big deal.
Welp just found out my 30 year old sister has COVID (lives in Dallas and has been going out like normal, she’s also a Dr… her symptoms were sore throat and some drainage but she got tested because her work required it since she’s a doctor) and just visited my parents last weekend. I’m assuming they probably have it…
