A good start for Texas

[luvsJack]

We are still under a “shelter in place” order of sorts but slowly opening too.

Lakes and reservoirs opening up Monday for boating and fishing at least (we are a little unsure if picnicking and such will be allowed with social distancing of course).

Beaches will be open Monday at least in one county.

And non-essential businesses can reopen as long as they can use curb side pick up. (No shopping in a store yet).

There was more about barbers and salons but I think they are talking about them being able to limit the number on the business at one time and masks and gloves being used.

School is out the rest of the year. Most of the colleges have already decided to stay completely or mostly online through the summer. Our community college will allow small controlled groups on campus (CTE program labs). Student service offices will re-open but we too will have only a small number in at any one time.

As predicted, Wisconsin is seeing an increase in cases due to in person voting.

Counties near mine are mandating mask use. Maybe this will help as they open everything again.

The impatience to ride out the Safer at Home and "liberate" too soon may just end up being the Bite instead of the Nip
take a look at any "delayed gratification study" on a Google search- it says a lot about us humans

If someone feels they need to stay at home or a business needs to stay closed. Whatever a person feels they need to do, do it, but stop telling everyone else how to live.

I wish Wisconsin had a clue like Texas!
WI is not strained at all, by looking at the DHS website. Plenty of beds, plenty of ventilators....
Yet we are stuck at home until May 26th!!!

It's beyond cruel and ridiculous for those who need to make a living!!

We are not stuck at home.

Yeah, why bother listening to the medical community or scientists? “Common sense”? Just what the heck is that? My governor is actually listening and paying attention to the medical community & the scientists and basing decisions upon their recommendations. That’s what I expect from my leadership. ”Common sense” says that you take it slow and respond as appropriately necessary. Unless you feel that some folks are expendable (yeah, they’re gonna die anyway right?) then by all means, just get right out there and ignore what’s being asked of you. Sure you have the right to do that. And I have the right to not be infected by you or others who feel that they know better.

So is mine (WI) and I am very thankful.

I prefer 'my' wording.

A county near me has increased its positive cases fourfold over the last 10 days.

Could also be from increase testing , most states are testing more and more each week.

but the bigger issue is if the hospitals can keep up.

But in Florida it won't be a free for all, it won't even be all counties and it will be limited hours (6am beach walk anyone?)

You obviously haven't seen pictures or video from the beaches reopening today. You can see a picture taken less than 30 minutes after opening, there are HUNDREDS of people on the beach and in the water.

Testing has not increased, we still don't have enough tests and restrictions on testing are still in effect.

Is that picture from today?

That picture was taken nearly a month ago on March 20th:

Many news stories will use either stock photos or prior photos. I found another news source that gave the date the photo was taken.

Here is from today........

I was speaking only about the photo the person was talking about for context in their conversation of social distancing and observations of the particular photo. For context that was taken March 20th.

Thank you for sharing current videos and interviews

No, no, MCM, I understood that is what you were saying. And you were very correct.

I'll be watching too but I'll do mine from inside my home. I'm in no hurry to join other Texans.
