What does 'open it back up' mean to you?

[BobbyV]

I don’t like working from home.

Seriously? I love it . . .

I hope they develop a logical approach to opening things back up. But I am doubtful they are capable.

Folks won't be happy with whatever decisions are made I'm sure . . .

 

[BobbyV]

At this time it means we're probably jumping the gun.

Too many folks already don't take this seriously. Give 'em an inch and they'll take a mile. :/

Possibly . . . if anything this is forcing people and businesses to become cleaner and sanitize themselves and their property like never before.

A lot of folks are naturally skeptical of EVERYTHING. Especially if it results in local, state and federal governments applying more restrictive controls in their lives.

I am of the opinion that "at risk" people should have stayed at home and the rest should have protected themselves and went the hell to work !! The whole shelter at home thing is a joke............... Sorry ,I ramble but this shutdown has been over done and largely turned into a fiasco.

Exactly!

After a couple of weeks of this deal, and when I drove through Enid and Woodward and saw how full the parking lots were at Walmart, Lowes, Atwoods and every grocery store, I thought to myself... "in 14 days everyone in those people could/should test positive if it's as bad as they say"...................that time has come and gone and those parking lots look like Christmas eve shoppers every day now. Positive cases pretty much nonexistent, hospitalizations even less. Restaurants, barbers, hair dressers are just taking a great big kick in the nuts every day in OK now imo. Feel terrible for them.

Plus aren't more folks testing positive for antibodies than "the experts" expected? Meaning many more people have had it or carried it and never needed to be tested or never needed to seek medical care?

They are, still some debate on whether those studies are accurate and whether the tests themselves were good.

i think schools will be an interesting situation to navigate. I have a hard time seeing states reverse course on this school year at this point. But with camps cancelling, summer childcare is going to be an issue for a lot of people if they aren’t working from home anymore.

If anything, this has shown that we don't actually need dozens of universities in the state of Oklahoma . . . with very few exceptions there should be a big time focus on distance learning programs to cut down on costs IMO.

I'm saying this after having to deal with the costs of my oldest attend school at OSU and my youngest attending UCO this fall and both taking several online classes before this all started and during due to schools closing campuses.

I know . . . I will definitely be interested to see how things go moving forward.

This is quite possibly the best result we can hope for, and it will stop the spread of a lot more than just CV.

Assuming this newfound "cleanliness" will last beyond the current situation...

I'm not sure those would help much. The number of flu cases can vary a good bit year to year anyway.

NOT a doctor...

I want to see how much SDing has dropped the trend on it.
We know it has.

One can only hope . . . .
