Open it back up safely. If we all do our part there is no reason most business can't begin operating in the next week or so. If the public will just do simple things like wear a mask, shop as quickly as possible, and respect the social distancing requirements this will pass. It won't be every business and it won't be all at once, but we can get things restarted if we just act like adults and deliberately avoid unnecessary risky behavior.

"There are fewer patients in ICU beds and on vents."

Is Dr. Dobbs looking at different numbers than what his own agency is reporting? ICU patients and vent patients are both almost flat with an increase today. Both have varied about +/- 10% since April 9 with no statistically significant trend either way. Hopefully he has more insight, but there is no way to make such a statement based on the MSDH reports.

Hospitalization numbers, on the other hand, are showing consistent growth over the last 10 days.

The IHME model shows our peak is expected on April 24. Maybe things will trend down by the end of the month.

Got to get those lazy peons off unemployment, no matter how many lives it costs.

I went out today, less than 40% had on a Mask. Until you knuckle heads get it, it's going to be dangerous for all of us. Just start wearing a mask and this will go much faster than if you don't. Whether you was your hands or not is your business, I wear single use gloves so it doesn't matter to me, it you put your hands on everything. I don't want you too close or breathing on me.

Sorry, but I'm not going to wear a mask.

Lowe's in Madison was really crowded today. I saw one other customer, besides me, wearing a mask and gloves. ONE OTHER.

3:52 Where do you find all these supplies?

Just another 18 months!

Arghhhh!

There goes football season

Sorry, I'm wearing a mask, because I give a shit about other humans and not just myself.

"...if we just act like adults and deliberately avoid unnecessary risky behavior."


HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! -Cough- HHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

3:52 - all gloves are single use...you people are doing the whole PPE thing WRONG. You should establish presumed clean zones (car interior, home interior, etc.) and zones presumed to be infected. When you wear gloves into a store, finger all of the merchandise and get back into your car with the same gloves, you've just contaminated a presumed clean zone. Don't waste gloves for use inside your car, when you get ready to exit your car, don a clean pair of gloves and exit your vehicle, do whatever you're going to do, and when you return, open the car door with gloved hands, with the door open doff the gloves properly by peeling contaminated surface to contaminated surface and clean surface to clean surface, handling the doffed (contaminated) gloves inside (clean side) out. Then sanitize your hands and go about your business. Repeat every time you exit your car or make a transition from a clean zone to contaminated zone and/or vice versa.

Unless mandated by law I will not wear a mask. Sorry, not sorry.

A mask don’t prevent you catching a virus. The virus can be spread through eyes.

Masks only contain coughs and sneezes of the infected.

Please stop harping about people not wearing masks.

What even passes as a mask? A bandana? My butt hurts I’m laughing at how inefficient these are for protection.

@ 5:30: "There goes football season"

Wrong! Coach Saban himself came on to the Finebaum show today, and he is confident that a coronavirus treatment will be effective well before the prime months of the summer to get the players back and conditioned before Fall camps all across the country.

And, Coach Orgeron has led the battle in Louisiana against the coronavirus, so the numbers there will be coming down to nothing soon, if they aren't already.

The bottom line is there is going to be football season, at all levels, and that is what this country needs, more than anything, to get back to normal.

@6:45 Many infected people show no symptoms. As you said yourself “masks only contain the coughs and sneezes of the infected” and that is exactly the point. Stopping you from infecting 5 other people is effective in getting this under control. It isn’t about protecting you in particular, it’s about corralling the spread in the community which benefits everyone. I hope you aren’t taking the position if you can’t be guaranteed protection that you don’t care who else gets it. The reality is if you’re healthy you have more than a 50% chance of never knowing you are infected and risk passing it on to anyone you come into contact with. Have a little empathy and do simple things to stop the spread so we can get back to normal.

Saban and Orgeron have $20 million reasons to blow smoke up your ass. Their biased opinions are to be taken with a large amount of salt. One season without football won’t be the end of America.

@5:39. It's okay snowflake.

Until you knuckle heads get it, it's going to be dangerous for all of us.

Too bad for you.

Operation Gridlock. Governor's mansion. Saturday, April 25th, Noon.

"Just hotspots"? Where? That would be key information in everyone staying safe. Thanks. Gov.

If the casinos in Las Vegas can't make COVID-19 go away, I doubt Nick Saban can make it happen, even in Tuscaloosa.

Trolls at 9:32, 9:58, and 9:59.

Where are the hotspots so I can avoid that area

@8:38 the virus will pass through a cloth mask or a bandana if coughed on or sneezed.

626, it very well might pass thru that cloth mask and / or bandana, but it won't spread as far in the air. Unmasked, it can spread up to 15 feet; with a cloth mask, the distance is greatly shortened. Yes, it's not perfect, but it helps supress. As it does for just regular breathing out of the droplets - it cuts down on their dissemination

I went to a popular grocery store yesterday which I guess now requires a mask to enter, I asked where I could get one, the woman shrugged at me and I just kept walking into the store, bought what I needed and went about my day. This is bullshit and I'm not participating.

Only a fool would go out in public coughing during this. shouldn't be a need for mask if sick people stay home.

I went to a popular grocery store yesterday which I guess now requires a mask to enter, ...

Which store? Be specific.

Shut it down!

xoxoxo,

8:09, you are such a rebel. You figured out how to post a comment so I would think you can figure out how to google where you can get a mask. If you don’t like a store’s policy than go somewhere else or better yet stay home and get it delivered. There are others like me who will exclusively shop at stores that require a mask because I like to reward common sense. Fresh Market in Ridgeland is where I choose to shop.

@8:34 That would be true except for two things with COVID-19. First is infected people are contagious a couple of days before showing symptoms. Second is half the infected people never show symptoms at all. It is contagious enough that it can be spread just through talking to someone. Please enlighten us as to how they are to know they are sick so they can stay home. There is no getting around the fact you’ve got infectious people in public and therefore encouraging everyone to wear a mask, don’t loiter, and maintain at least six feet of distance can help cut down the community spread.

8:34 - The Fresh Market, the only reason I go there is for a certain kind of coffee I can't find anywhere else. Next time I'm going to wear my shemagh - I'm guessing social distancing won't be a problem then.
