This is good news for Denmark. It’s potentially even better news for The Villages. The Tri-County area has less than 1% total who have been diagnosed positive for the virus. Based on a total population of 130,000 at The Villages (I know it is less now, but I don’t know how much less, only 1/17th part of 1% of the Villagers have been tested positive. Of course, there may be a lot more who have or have had the virus, but those are the current released numbers. They are very hopeful. The biggest danger is probably people who live outside The Villages in crowded housing and haven’t paid much attention to the social distancing guidelines and now come here to serve you food and sell you things. It’s also more dangerous for them, as they are in contact with so many people. I would like them to all wear masks and gloves for another month.

[QUOTE=GoodLife;1764302]Denmark apparently has epidemiologists that are smarter than Dr Fauci. QUOTE]
No.. Denmark has leadership smart enough to LISTEN to their epidemiologists. USA doesn't. The issue is NOT Fauci's "smartness" |

It has been reported that the people of Denmark actually made it their responsibility to follow all of the stay safe policies put forward early on. Our Administration ignored the intelligence reports for months , then when CV19 showed no mercy here , we ended up with protesters with long guns invading capitol bldgs.rather than wear a mask and social distance. See the difference?

Random thoughts
I beg to differ; scientists give their best understandings and the politicians make the decisions. In America there has been far to much political and media driven pressure to reopen in places that shouldn't be reopening. There are places where reopening but common sense is lacking in, for example, directives about meat packing plants.

1. Many of them like Denmark have done so before some states in USA, so we can see how its working and learn from it. 2. Europe is about the same size as USA geographically, but more densely populated (500 million vs 300 million) 3. Just like USA, each country, like our states, is trying different things. 4. Looking at Europe takes US politics out of the equation. |

Comparing how various countries responded initially to the pandemic is a completely different topic. Brazil is a mess and many think it will be the new hotspot. |

Sorry, Denmark has 16,000+ square miles.

Ummmm
What advantage? Most countries do not begin to match the US in $ amounts in the US Treasury, so they are more likely to do what is necessary to get BACK TO WORK. No free money for everybody. Many of us, however, are reluctant to do what is necessary, thinking, I imagine, that our bodies and minds will give us the cue when it's time to go back to work. Many seem to be inordinately attracted to their gut, as if your bowels will give you the answers you seek. Like many, I've been in my home constantly since March 13. That's only 60 days. What would YOU do if you HAD to stay in until November?

Another data point to watch is Australia and New Zealand. They are entering their "November" period, when a second wave of Wuhan Virus had been predicted to occur. Hasn't happened yet and that bodes well for us this coming Fall. Keep in mind that virologists look to Australia and Southeast Asia first to see what flu strains are emerging to determine what should go into the flu shot you should get this September.

68% Say Lockdown Shouldn't End Until All Diseases Are Eradicated And There Is No War, Hunger, Or Suffering
U.S.—A new poll has been released that shows most Americans are comfortable with staying in lockdown for a while longer. In fact, according to the poll, a full 68% of Americans say the lockdown shouldn’t end until all diseases are eradicated, along with war, hunger, and any form of suffering. This sentiment was repeated by many different Americans. “Opening up before everything that could hurt people has been eliminated could just lead to people dying,” said Kelvin Grant, an online journalist, who spoke via Zoom. “Let’s just hide in place until everything bad goes away.” “As long as there are diseases and other bad things out there, it’s only safe to stay inside away from everyone else,” agreed Grace Wilson, a web designer, who spoke through a mail slot. “Like I saw a wasp outside the other day. We shouldn’t go outside until all wasps are gone. Or else someone could get stung. Stung by a wasp.” A number of governors expressed solidarity with the poll results. “Everyone really should stay locked down and do everything I tell them until all bad things are gone,” said Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. “Anything else could lead to death, disease, wasp stings, stubbed toes -- lots of badness. That’s why if anyone is outside when I tell them not to be, the police will shoot them.” Since eliminating all bad things could take a long time, there are now some new initiatives to help people shelter in place for months longer, including instructions on how to burrow underground and live as mole people. *Note, on the off chance it's not obvious, this is sarcasm * |
