Actually you are facing the odds of 8.2 fatalities PER DAY in traffic accidents amongst Lake, Sumter and Marian Counties. By comparison, the deaths from CV19 for those 3 counties TO DATE is 3.9 per 100,000, total (not PER DAY)
Population: 854,944 Deaths to date 33.
The only thing you have to fear is fear itself, someone once said....and he was a famous Democrat. Who had Polio....

Thank you for posting this. No need for everyone to argue over what to do next. Although I am not ready to mix it up with people just yet there are plenty of people who are. We all know what to do to keep from getting infected. Afraid? Stay home. Need to work? Go for it. Time for everyone to quit letting the media and the government pretend they have a zero risk solution. We need to return the power of choice (and risk) to the people.

Let’s thank all those who opt to stay at home for a potential lower rate of Covid19 deaths if/when this pandemic is solved or run its course.
Let’s thank all those who opt to support and patronize the reopening of businesses for having some resemblance of an economy in place when this pandemic is over as well as allowing millions of people to get back to continuing their livelihood.

Why is it offered "... stay home if you are afraid..."?

So does it then follow if one goes out they are brave?
No! It just happens to be one opinion.

Some of us stay home because for us...... it makes sense in the current environment.

Has nothing to do with being afraid!

Wow! I am very pleased with the level of discourse this has generated. A lot of very good opinions and ideas have been expressed in all aspects of this recovery situation. I respect everyone who took the time to express their thoughts and opinions in this matter. It’s obvious that we have a community of a lot of very good spirited people who just want to do what’s right. I am glad that as a community we are able to come together and have a respectful discourse in this matter. I think the most important thing at this point is that as changes are introduced and freedoms are re-substantiated we continue to have a positive and respectful discourse. Our goal must be to all join together and contribute to the recovery effort by means of communication and discourse and when necessary action. So for now God bless you all, And remember you are divinely protected within the hedge of his love.

No, I believe the guys I went to high school with and failed Science. They posted some really interesting theories on Facebook.

You make an excellent point.

It seems to me, that some people are primarily motivated by a fear of appearing weak.

It's almost like being on the 7th grade school yard, where the bully "dares" someone, so that the bully can try to repress their own personal fears and insecurities.

All too many people however, aren't strong enough internally to stand up to those bullies though and will take on that dare, even if they know it will most likely harm themselves.

That's not being brave, it's actually being just the opposite.

Regarding the economic impact, it seems many Villages are financially healthy, with no impact on regular pension and SS deposits. Question is, how are you helping to support those less fortunate? Have you donated to the cause recently, have you generously (over) tipped delivery or take out persons, have you supported the local food bank? Everyone has a part to minimize the impact of the pandemic. Stop whining, we're all in this together. If you're bored, find a new activity that won't risk the health/welfare of others.
Please show me one study that shows the effectiveness of social distancing. I have not been able to find one.

How about history?


Analysis: Spanish Flu Pandemic Proves Social Distancing Works


Quote:
In a new paper published in the Journal of the American Society of Cytopathology, Stefan E. Pambuccian, MD, MIAC, a professor and vice chair of the department of pathology and laboratory medicine at Loyola University Chicago’s Stritch School of Medicine attempts to answer those questions using the “Spanish Influenza” pandemic of 1918-1919 as a model.
In short, his answer to the question of whether social distancing works is: yes.

"The stricter the isolation policies, the lower the mortality rate,"
Pambuccian said, in a press release.

And on a purely an anecdotal level, a couple of very high profile cases in the last few days, involving an environment that chose not to social distance or even wear masks, should make most people stop and think.

Someone please explain why.. you can swim in a pool with others ( like bathing with them) .. have your hair cut and nails done ( close contact with stylist) Line up for take out, shoulder to shoulder, sit in and eat. Even the grocery store has rules, and we wear masks and gloves, and feel safe there.

Yet we cannot play pball 6 foot from your partner, and 15-20 feet from your opponents OUTDOORS, with gloves, mask and sterilized balls... yes 6 foot social distance while waiting..... 2 months now...yet I am still expected to pay amenities.. WHAT AMENITIES.. this applies to all other sports Rec have banned indefinitely....... Perhaps we are not shouting loud enough.

MASKS & Gloves, everyone, and lets play.... we will have NO IMMUNITY to anything if we dont try to get out soon... Marion, Lake and Sumter Counties figures have hardly moved for a week.... if they rise, when we play, then we re-think the rules.....

You have bought into this media frenzy. Get over it. If it was or is as bad as the media wants you to think it is then all of the people who went and still go to Walmart home depot and Lowe's would all be sick or dead. I rest my case.

I don't understand your post at all.

If someone goes out, all it proves is that they are NOT afraid, but not necessarily BRAVE

If staying home makes "sense". it must be because those people are afraid of something, unless they are agoraphobic, in which case they were afraid of going out in the first place.

So, you can call it sensible, responsible, protective others and so forth, but in reality it has EVERYTHING to do with being afraid

Fauchi has been so wishy-washy and keeps changing his mind about what should be done to minimize this so called virus. I wouldn't let him pull a tooth. Be careful when it comes to putting your faith in some idiots hands

Grocery stores have delivery services and I've heard they work out great.
