Who is "they"?they don't want to open back up, that's why they keep saying until there's vaccine or there are no more cases

I didn't day that...I was just responding to the statement that it only kills old people.
CDC has been wrong almost as much as the WHO. The virus isn't going anywhere, even in lockdown if you live with a family there's a pretty decent chance you get it. The people who die from the virus overhwhelmingly the old with comorbidities (heart disease, obesity, diabetes) need to be protected better. Things need to start reopening with common sense practices of better hygiene and social distancing.
Funny, because that's the same face I made reading your responses.
Colleges are going to be forever changed. They'll be online or students will decide they don't want to go to college due to "Covid". They also might not go to college due to the expenseMark my words, students will be back on campus this Fall. We are in the worst area of the country for covid-19, and there is a plan for re-opening colleges that Lamont gave some details on. CT is working in unison with the Northeast states. If the northeast schools have students on campus in September, the whole country will.
But at least you have a job.Like an unemployment office besieged by unemployed Americans? Or a hospital over run with patients?
My job is part running the safety net. It sucks.
No, colleges won't be online and kids will be back at school. You try and do remote learning and schools will go out of business.Colleges are going to be forever changed.

Nothing is forcing anyone who doesn't want to participate in society to leave the house. Stay at home and don't leave...EVER. Don't let anyone into your house. Don't let anyone you live with leave the house either.
FL has opened restaurants...i'm choosing not to go out to eat...but I go to the store and I'm going to play golf now.
Maybe this is the end of college.No, colleges won't be online and kids will be back at school. You try and do remote learning and schools will go out of business.
lol some of you are such babies.People who don't want to go to the games or are at greater risk, shouldn't go to the games. Those of us who want to get back to our lives and these events shouldn't be told we aren't allowed to
I dunno.NCAA could never recover from two missed march madnesses
Let me make it easy for u. 200 million ADDITIONAL people. Those that were self supporting before. Simple question. How do u pay for it? With almost no tax revenue. It’s not possible.Okay, so the government would be taking care of 200 million workers, but not their kids. Thank you for clarifying that. Their parents would be taking care of them using something other than what the government is giving them.
If someone has any comorbidities their only options are casket or cremation... Just saying.That is a logical question...I don't have the answer. Change rules for unemployment? I would guess that most businesses that are open are not at 100% so maybe ask who wants to come to work? Let those above a certain age or with comorbidities have more options?
But at least you have a job.
Most hospitals in the country aren't overrun, most aren't even half full. My Governor spent $65 million on converting McCormick Place into a makeshift hospital only to dismantle it. He had vacant hospitals retrofitted into Covid hospitals and they haven't seen a single patient. Naperville hospital is begging people to come in because they're broke and nobody is coming in for needed care.

That was stunning when Gov Cuomo “shockingly” acknowledged the study that 66% of cases were people staying at home. In short, the steps CT and NY have taken have unfortunately been counterproductive. Maybe we should have learned from quarantine ships and nursing homes that confined small spaces with poor air flow create a much more concentrated and contagious environment than some guy walking by without a mask on. Almost anything outside is better than anything inside.If you listened to results coming out, 66% of cases are from those who are staying home. Not those going to work. Those staying home. Also, a social safety net WAS passed. Loans for small business, bailing out industries, and extra unemployment for those out of work. That IS the social safety net supposed to help, which has already passed.
I think I misinterpreted your post I thought you were complaining about your job.while 40 million Americans have lost their job. I think instead you were complaining about the system sucking and yes it totally sucks.What is your point?
I have a job. Check. Don't get the connection.
Some places prepared for the worst and they wasted.your money?
Are you saying we prepared well for this?
Are you saying unless every hospital is overrun, then no hospital is overrun?
You think they are doing a good job getting people unemployment?
Yes, people will continue to get the virus. There's a decent chance we'll never have a vaccine. Life must go on.Opening up the country smartly & sports are really very separate issues.
If a business can operate safely with precautions taken they will open and the public & employees will decide how and when to participate.
The problem with close contact sports like basketball is that it's impossible to physically distance so once pros and colleges start playing again it's inevitable that players will catch the virus until we have a vaccine. Unless every player in let's say the Big East is completely isolated from the rest of the student body how do they not come in contact with Covid 19?
It's impossible that schools will not have cases, it's inevitable. I see college sports in a much more precarious position than pro sports because at least the pro teams can hypothetically isolate from the outside world in certain spots as TV only events. College kids have to be on campus around thousands of other students and basketball / football are very high contact sports.
So unless they decide to accept that college players will be infected and hopefully nobody dies I am not seeing a real path without a vaccine unless the virus just magically goes away. Tell me I'm wrong please.

There is a lot of real estate between zero cases and what we have now. Harm is a general term right now. I guess it depends on who you are asking and what their situation is. Every person has their own perspective and individual circumstance. Thats what makes this disaster so devastatingly unique. One size does not fit all. Unfortunate and acceptable losses seem like statistics on tv until it hits close to home and yourself or someone you care about is in trouble. I know people people dealing with this as I type this and economic statistics mean jack to them.Places will continue to reopen because we cannot wait until cases get to 0 to return to normalcy. Lots of high end reports and studies are coming out now saying the lockdowns and economic effects will cause more harm than the virus itself. Nobody can say for sure, but I think we will be playing a full schedule this season.
