Utah County, population 636,000, was not locked down with "Stay At Home" orders. Amazingly, our mayors resisted the urge to seize more power. Even without the orders we only had 828 cases and 7 deaths--not sure how either one of those numbers was actually figured--but do the math. Even if the numbers are off by a factor of 10 it is hard to believe this wasn't a bunch of kabuki theater.
We did, however, have mass economic death and destruction--ask any banker. Ask the families of those who committed suicide; ask those who lost an employee to stroke; ask those who delved deeper into drugs. Yes, I do think it is time to get back to normal before we cause any more economic death and destruction. The fading embers of this bonfire have certainly left a lot of ashes.
The unknown, and the unknowable, right?
If it makes you feel better to drive around in a car wearing a mask, and you think it protects your parents and your son, that's what you need to do. Absolutely.Why would it seem unreasonable to me, Rip? I have parents that are older, who also happen to have health issues that make them more likely to suffer complications were they to become infected. More importantly than that, I have a son that is also more susceptible to any sort of respiratory illness due to medical complications that arose as a result of him being born premature. His lungs are less able to fight off infections as a result. Are you really going to tell me that attempting to protect my parents and son from an infection that may take their lives by doing something as simple as wearing a mask while out and about is unreasonable? Seems a rather silly position to take, if you ask me.
I shall ponder this, not at all, as I don't take estrogen.
Really starting to think the tinfoil hat folks might actually by right.....NWO and Illuminati and controlling elites. Lizard people?
NO way I would have believed we would be here if you had told me this before spring break....now I am pondering if the Lizard people might be real.
I need to get out more.

If Utah County has only endured 7 deaths without without the same sort of restrictions that other places have endured, then communities similar to Utah County should pay attention and learn.
But what about high density areas? Do you think those areas should be allowed to have mass gatherings?
It does appear that much of the decision making thus far has been inordinately weighted by medical opinion. I'm pretty sure that if economists, philosophers, sociologists, child psychologists, and mental health experts had been an integral part of the discussion from the beginning, then things would have unfolded more sanely.
But here's another reality:
this pandemic has a lot of potential energy left to dissipate. It needs to be respected. And writing articles with "the pandemic is over" in the title is misleading, ignorant, and irresponsible.
Many of the folks I see with their masks and gloves on in their car.... I simply think they forgot they had it on and pull it off. But that's just a thought.
I also am assuming that these folks DO NOT think keeping a mask on in their car actually does any good.
And to Shea, hope your kid and parents are okay.
