Agreed. There doesn't seem to be universal agreement among the doctors about how scared we should be over this virus. Even the guidance from Fauci, Birx, the CDC, WHO, etc. has fluctuated over time. The only universal agreement seems to be that if you are in the high-risk group, you need to take extra precautions. That seems reasonable to me.
So.... we are literally at 4 or 5 x the daily case rate. We are opening back up fully at the peak thus far of this virus. Its not just more testing either we are at 14% positive when we were at 5%, younger people are catching it also. At the time I thought the decisions were being based on pure hysteria not "science" or numbers. That has been confirmed by the numbers we have now.
People preach the government and "experts" make all these decisions etc etc.... what criteria are they using to determine closing vs opening and stay at home orders? I have yet to get an answer for this. Looks like its all entirely arbitrary and guessing.
If we are open right now I hope people will finally shut up about government and doing things for peoples health etc...What numbers do we have to hit for them to shut down? So we shut down literally based on no other reasoning than hysteria in March? How can you argue otherwise given the current numbers and current decisions to stay open?
I mean should I make plans for July to go to the beach people are telling me sure we arent shutting down again. I am like but we are hitting a 1,000 cases a day! How do you know we wont shut down again? Of course these are the same people who said we would never close longer than a few days because "people will freak out and revolt" lol.

At some point we are going to have to let it run it’s course like the flu. I believe we will be there by football season and treating it much like the flu. If not then defiantly after November. If y’all don’t think this is being politically motivated, I have beach front property in Arizona.
You do realize there are thousands of documeting cases of people getting COVID multiple times. The idea that once you get it you are immune is totally false and not supported by science or public health officials.
Seriously and I completely disagree with you. I have not worn a mask yet and if a store requires one I patron their competition that does not. At some point we just have to live our lives. We don’t know when or if their will be a vaccine. Then if there is we don’t know how long that immunity will last. Everyone else can do what they want to do, this is America after all, I for one will be living my life like I did a year ago.
Not entirely true, recent studies are showing that having it gives you an approx. 5 month immunity.
So you don't care that you might spread it to highly susceptible people and possibly kill them?
How does covering your nose and mouth in public prevent you from living your life?
In my opinion if you are such a person you should be staying at home. Why should I have to quarantine as a healthy person. Why quarantine the masses for a few.
And I can say that is 100% false since I personally know someone who had it. Actually, one of the first ones in the upstate region. Her bloodwork now shows no antibodies and thats after several tests. And she wasn't asymptomatic either.
A the antibodies test have a serious issue with accuracy.
b antibodies are not the only markers of “immunity” to a virus.
Numerous examples of people getting it twice within 5 months. This virus isn't understood by anyone. She's had numerous tests by the way.
They are apparently not shutting down their voluntary workouts. This is the proper response IMO. Get everyone infected and be done with it.
I don’t believe 121,000 Americans chose to die to influence this presidential election.
Seriously. I have a couple of doctors in the family as well, and they are starting to get very concerned going to work every day. This is starting to get pretty big in many places in South Carolina, and it’s getting worrisome.

How is wearing a mask in public and washing your hands "living in fear"? It is just the responsible and respectful thing to do. Not surpprised selfish people have a hard time with that, though.
The football players were locked arm and arm at some kinda protest I think... Yeah?
The only way we are going to get rid of this thing is to go ahead and live our lives normally and take the 99.9% that we will be fine. Or a vaccine... Staying locked up is actually doing more harm than good I think.
I respect your opinion but disagree. Wear a mask in public. Stay 6 feet from other people. That is not “normal” but it helps prevent the spread. Wash your hands often.
It’s the people acting normal that’s causing our cases to rise more than just about any state in the union.
Seriously, I know 2 that passed away from it. They couldn't care less about an election, they just wanted to live and be with their families.
I offer my condolences and prayers. What bothers me most is how many people have lost a loved one, yet others feel the need to spout out garbage about this virus. I can’t imagine how hurtful it must be to have lost a loved one and read half the crap the uninformed spew out here.
I always wash my hands and use good hygiene, that should be normal. You can live normal and stay six feet away or try too. When I said live our lives normally, this is what I meant...... The mask, on the other hand, I don't have an opinion on. I watched my mother pass out with Carbon dioxide poisoning wearing them. I think they may make you feel good about yourself but they don't help unless it's a special mask. The box that my mom's masks came in actually said on the box that it doesn't help with Covid.
This is concerning me now. If you account for all the missed positive tests early on, the current US case increase still has not caught up with the previous rise. Not close yet. But in SC, this rise outpaces the former easily.
The entire country reacted to what was happening in NY, so it delayed growth in other areas. Now, as groups reform, and people gather together, it's our turn.
We are perhaps ahead of many other states that have not faced the real onslaught. People should wear those masks and stay out of groups. It seems we are trying to taunt the disease, and that goes for both political parties. It's a stubborness problem; not a political problem.

Why haven’t we done it for years then? The same demographic is at risk for the common cold, flu, etc, so explain to me why it is irresponsible not to wear of a mask all of a sudden?
I completely agree. I will caveat what I’m about to say by admitting that I am not an expert, and there is no reason why you should listen to me or take me seriously. But I do think that we should listen to the health experts and wear masks, social distance, etc. The virus is growing exponentially here in SC, and I’m willing to trust the experts at this point to slow it down
If you do not already understsand how COVID-19 is incredibly different from what you listed I am not sure what else I can do. Maybe everyone who questions needs to spend lots more time listening to actual physicians and public health experts.
I do I listen to the ones in my family and as I stated earlier they don’t wear mask.
But it's hardly a stretch at all to think someone would use those deaths to influence an election, right?
Where is Smokin Stokes BBQ?
We were at 1622 Augusta Rd in Greenville SC from 99- 2011. The 08 crisis basically took us out those last 3 years.
