Chance of another mandatory lockdown in SC at 100%???

- Start date
All lives matter, just not the ones that get in the way of my convenience or make me slightly uncomfortable in any way shape or form despite my prejudices I may hold
Obviously, no amount of lockdowns are going to prevent you from playing XBox or living off your parents. The coronavirus does zero to effect your everyday activities.
Ah yes...let’s shutdown the state again for a virus that is no more serious than a common cold.
we aren’t going to agree. I want the quicker path; you want more protected path
Quickest path to normalcy is far and away masks - your denial of that is something I unfortunately cannot fix
slowing exposure is not “quickest”. Just makes it hide for a short time.
Scientifically only way the virus “disappears” is herd immunity or vaccine
we wont agree.....it is fine
S Korea wore masks, and has been upheld as the “leader” in what to do. Now they have more infections again
will be same way here. Have rules then relax......have good exposure numbers, then relapse again. Gonna be a cycle over and over until immunity or vaccine. Watch what happens this fall/winter
we can post round and round all night
your friend is a doctor who has never worn a medical mask? Sounds like a great doctor, does he work out of the back of a van?
The same people that had no issues with 2 weeks of protesting and gathering in large groups is suddenly concerned about the rising number or Covid cases. So predictable
more infections in SK is like 50 a day - we currently have 1000+ DEATHS a day
SK is not what you want to cite for making this argument
Nah man I am good. There is not much that will change anti trumpers or trump supporters. He could cure cancer and you and most liberals will still hate him and vote for Biden. It is what it is.
In my office during the lockdown I maybe tested 1-2 people a month for COVID. Just in the last week I have tested close to 10. Most of the ones being tested now don't have symptoms, it's just people showing up demanding to be tested.
my larger point, that I didn’t articulate well, is that positive cases are popping back up in areas that took all the early precautions.
My point is all the precautions slow spread down (we all know that - never been my stance/argument)
But it is going to come back. We also know that from the nations who went thru this before us.
Im going to begin sipping some bourbon and prop feet up. I enjoy conversations (that dont turn nasty and personal and political)
My wishes for as fast as possible return comes with drawbacks, no doubt. But like I said - if you’re going to get sick from being exposed tomorrow, then you are going to get sick from getting exposed in 3 months, 6 months, etc
Ha! Im embarrassed to say my girlfriend in HS tried to drag me to a RATT concert.......but I stood strong and didnt go
What you are missing here is that the “popping up” is like 50 cases/day in the entire country of South Korea. Florida, by itself, reported 3000+ new cases yesterday.
The math is eluding you here and I think if you took a step back and looked at the graphs honestly, you would come to a different conclusion.
This board was better when you weren’t able to post. You’re the skip bayless of TI
I am reluctantly voting for Biden unless there is a 3rd party candidate. I’m not a “liberal.” Do you really want 4 more years of this? The reality tv star didn’t work out. I know thats shocking.
I don’t know about everyone else but it’s my personal choice. I don’t care what any politician or actor says about it. If they want to wear one that’s great but if not I don’t care.
In public
Put me in the group that would rather get sick 6 months from now than tomorrow. We will know much more in 6 months about the virus and how to treat it.
No one wants to shut the economy down but social distancing, wearing a mask and washing hands seems like pretty simple efforts to save lives of fellow Americans, and perhaps someone in your own family. For some reason, those are things that I rarely see happening. An explosion in the number of cases is not going to help the economy; it is going to force those that are compromised or 65+ to stay at home and stop spending $.
People seem to be leaning on “American Pride” as a crutch for doing whatever the f*%$ they want, when it should be doing what keeps ourselves and neighbors safe and healthy so that we can all practice our freedoms.
That’s great man. Thanks for sharing.
I just saw you post above that it’s mostly liberals and hippies who wear them. That statement nullifies what you are saying in this post. It’s definitely a political thing for you. You have been manipulated into not wearing a mask and you don’t even know it. Sad.

I agree with a caveat. @Cris_Ard, we have been at Fripp since 6/13. Majority of people in Beaufort, Lady's Island, etc. with no masks and lined up chest to back at local restaurants.
Moving forward while following CDC guidelines is not that difficult.
Must be people from OH-10
How are things at the Grand Strand?

Great. Just got in the door from Calabash, NC. Went to Ella's this evening. My wife and son were on the beach yesterday and it was packed. They're going to be back on the beach sometime Sunday.
There are risks, to be sure. I'm merely saying the risks are greater if we undergo a second economic stoppage or a prolonged economic stoppage.
I think this is the first intelligent thing I have read from johnhugh. Ever.
Start with not rioting. Then we’ll worry about football. Until then don’t bring the insincere posturing about Orderly gatherings with structure, like say school, work, ballgames etc.
Insurrection continues and is encouraged without pause, with no concern for Covid.
if you can protest orderly with prudence, by all means do. Brutality of authorities deserves to be protested. Eisenhower was president the last time those cesspits of discrimination saw anything but one party rule of “democrats”. Philly, DC, Chicago, Detroit... But holding orderly life of prudent people hostage is insincere crap.
This simply is not true.
Yep, that brings us to a whopping .00439% of our state’s total population that’s been infected...
This is the biggest problem right here: the spreading of incorrect information. That’s way more dangerous than the virus itself.
I had Covid-19...I survived. 99.9% of the rest of the population will too. It sucks but sickness is part of life. Nothing needs to shut down anymore. Push through.
No, my point was simply an observation. I will not wear a mask no matter who wears one, I promise you that.
I’m in the camp that thinks this virus is not a big deal to the vast majority of the population, but I simply can’t fathom the stupidity of so many refusing to wear masks. Never mind that we could pretty much eradicate this thing by doing something so simple......goodness the stupidity...
Dude, what is wrong with you? You do realize you can be a republican and also wear a mask right? I’m living proof.
Not wearing a mask just screams “I’m a fvcking idiot!” IMO
You are assuming a lasting herd immunity and a lasting vaccine generated immunity, neither of which is KNOWN to exist. You are making a wishful assumption like Trump’s magically disappearing belief.
I hope you are both right, but there is no evidence that either are true.
well, so far there haven’t been people re-infected. So yes, assuming that is case. As well as going off historical actions of the other novel viruses throughout history.
That is why (history) I say a vaccine wont come soon, if at all
Do you not like that I make a mockery of the uninformed that sadly dominate this board?
