There is another scenario regarding Reynolds and Fauci - Fauci might have stated the additional closings Reynolds announced today were necessary for his endorsement of her current plan. I think the closing of parks is a major escalation in restrictions, way beyond many other states.
It is going to be interesting to hear the next firestorm when/if half the state is shelter-in-place, including multiple counties having no cases, while other counties with dozens of cases continue to be exempt. My recollection is Reynolds didn't want individual counties "shut down" and originally wanted a statewide, consistent message. The regional concept might be the worst option.
I thought I heard parks were shut down now too. Might have heard wrong?Parks are not shut down. Playground equipment, amusement parks, and skate parks are.
They are open, but most of the services associated with them are closed like campsites, cabins, etc. Not trying to argue anything, just fyi.Parks are not shut down. Playground equipment, amusement parks, and skate parks are.

Sounds legit. Seems like a good source of other micro organisms that could go outcompete Corona.Heard through the grapevine that Fauci wasn’t happy with the Romantix decision.
With all your trolling and partisanship, you don’t have time to follow policy or budget changes that occurred starting in 2017? And yes, I think there likely have been decisions since the end of the Cold War that contributed to less infrastructure and readiness for response than needed.
As for States vs federal failure, imo pandemic threats predominantly fall under federal jurisdictions. The cost of better/competent preparation are high, but imo this type of threat is much more likely to be damaging than the conventional national-state physical threats we spend trillions on.
Bananas, apples, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots and everything with a somewhat durable skin gets washed in lukewarm water and dishsoap with a soft scrub brush as soon as I get home. Things like broccoli, cauliflower, celery I rinse the hell out of. Any junkmail goes immediately to the recycling bin in my garage without actually coming inside the house. Most of it I wait two days to open after it sits in a safe place. Always wash my hands thoroughly after handling any mail. Packages are also quarantined for two days. Probably overkill with the mail.

New closures w/ previous listed also:I thought I heard parks were shut down now too. Might have heard wrong?
I don't blame you. There is some stuff I open the same day also.Damn!!!! I go to the mailbox as soon as I see the truck pull up, open the mail and deposit checks written to me right away.

Worth a listenWhat is your opinion on the ventilator issue? In 2007 the gov't looked at issues from (was it SARS then or something else, can't remember the exact and I forget what the article said) the current medical pandemic and the assembled medical team said we needed to ramp up the ventilator situation and stockpile. 2008 they had decided what they wanted (a smaller more condensed ventilator that would be easy to transport) and decided they needed around 20,000 of these. We still don't have them. 11-12 years from when everything got ironed out and wheels set in motion, and somehow a bunch of people dropped this. This is a problem that was noticed in 2007 and addressed in 2008 but apparently somewhere, somebody dropped the ball.
So this was supposed to be fixed 10 years before your 2017 timeframe but nothing happened. Why?
Here’s what happens around here

Known trails are crowded, rural areas don’t have a lot of medical facilities, search and rescue etc is better off not being deployed.Not sure I understand the reasoning behind keeping people out of parks (these types of parks), unless there simply isn’t a way for people to avoid coming in contact with each other there. We drove around saylorville on Sunday and there were some entrances that were closed off however at least one that was open and was a zoo. At each of the closed ones there were a handful of vehicles parked like that though.
See my post above.Yeah because wide open forests are such a terrible place to get away from people. Yet some essential business (ie those with money) still have hundreds come to work every day
I do wish we could just get on with this already, I'd love some vacation time.
