But again, the more spread there is the harder it is to shield those who need shielded |

I got told to mind my own business. But they are not the issue. The issue is the ones in care facilities. Those are victim of employees bringing the virus in, not them going out and contracting. |

And those in facilities aren’t victims
The ones bringing it in may not know they have it. Or they’re sick but can’t afford to not work |

Then there's my Parents that are like "if I hide until they figure this shit out I'll either be dead or won't be able to go out and enjoy life for other reasons". I mean it's tough to tell people who know they are in the home stretch of life to spend what might be the rest of their days locked up inside and in fear. I get it. I mean I wouldn't want to work my ass off and get into retirement and then get told, sorry, at the time you're supposed to be enjoying the rest of your years we're gonna need you to go ahead and just stay home. |

I don't mean victim as in someone is purposely infecting them. Just that they are already isolated and locked down and they are getting it because someone is bringing it in.

That's a tough one. Stricter screening and testing is about all you can do. I think that's where these rapid tests can come into play. Each person gets tested as they walk in the door and you can't work until you're clear. You can never eliminate the risk 100% but I am not sure what else you can do.
That being said we can't shut down the rest of the world either. As my Grandmother said until the day she died in her late 90's, "getting old ain't for pussies". |

It’s why the “just shield those at risk” thing was kinda cover for “we gotta just get back to normal and hope for the best” Controlling the spread was always the best way back to normal |

It was said at the very start the entire point of flattening the curve was to prevent the hospitals from being overrun and people dying because they could not get care. Everyone from medical to mathematical professionals all stated that flattening the curve meant in theory the same amount of people would affected but over a longer period of time. I know the hope was it would prevent some deaths and maybe even some infections and it probably did on the margins. I think you get that so I am not saying you were one of the people saying otherwise. Just that at times I think we have to realize there really is only so much we can do one way or the other. Once the vaccine is out things will probably get better but probably not nearly as fast as some think or hope. |

Once we know hospitals are getting crushed we can be a bit more lax but the problem is it it will eventually ramp back as long as there are viral vectors. It’ll take a bit to vaccinate everyone but again it could happen quick and efficient but there are politics things we’d have to talk about that aren’t supposed to happen here anyway |

But I agree, I think there are some aspects at play that we can't talk about in here but it does bring up the ironic or otherwise coincidental timing of the surge in cases in relation to events taking place in the next 2 weeks. |
