The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXV

vtec to vvel · 04-01-2020, 09:18 PM

So FL just issued a statewide stay-home order today for it to go into effect tomorrow. I mean really? It took this long and nearly 8k known/confirmed cases of covid-19 to issue this?

Oh and now they are back-peddling stating they were perhaps wrong about masks. Before they said the masks were ineffective, but now they thinking they were wrong....

Your comments have been a bit from the "I'm the victim" point of view. If you're waiting to take direction from a government, any government, you always will be the victim. Time to think for yourself and do what you think makes sense. This is a situation that nobody has been in before, individually and as a nation, and there are many things to consider for those making sweeping state and national decisions, ergo, they're compromised and will always be compromised. The government won't save you. Only you will save you.

But I also think that if I'm trying to do my part and the government is dragging their feet on everything, then I/general public will still be screwed and we are all essentially victims. I understand this is a first-time/unknown situation, but common sense should come into play and there are certain things that should go without saying, such as this statewide shut down. Should have happened from the get-go, not AFTER on the verge of becoming of hot spot, if we aren't one already. Also, our neighboring continents have gone through this virus before it broke out in the US, so we knew about it and had time to prepare, but the government downplayed it and look at the mess we're in now as a city/state/nation.

You forgot about the other pandemics in 1820, 1720, 1620. About every hundred years. There is a pandemic.

Avian Flu is H5N1
Swine Flu is H1N1

But apart from the Spanish Flu, the others did not have the impact that this one is having which is why we as a world became complacent

Thanks for the corrections. I just looked to see if the dates were close. The particular strain that caused the pandemic wasn't something I considered all that important. But I still should have checked.

My point was: We have seen similar pandemics in the US before. The more recent ones were not as bad but still severe enough to act as a warning.

You have to lookout after yourself. Because the gov't won't. They'll show up after the fact. It's up to you to make the right decisions for yourself.

The masks always did work. They didn't want everyone in panic mode. That and the shortage of them. I bought some masks back in early Feb. Just when it started to get on the news more.
