Makes sense that alcohol consumption, particularly to excess would increase likelihood of “catching the ‘vid.” Alcohol is a poison (a very pleasant poison, but a poison nonetheless) that our bodies have to work to breakdown and metabolize. Drinking lots of alcohol is generally not associated with making good decisions.*

I still firmly believe that a free people must be free to make decisions, be they good or bad, and live (or die) with the consequences of those decisions.

* And no, I am not a teetotaler or Prohibitionist. I enjoy a bourbon or two from time to time. Not more than that, as these days it hurts too much later.

I don't disagree, but do you know how many functioning alcoholics exist in this country? You're just going to cut them off cold turkey, do you have any idea what the ramifications of that?

Again although not ideal, there are probably a significant number of people in this country that are self-medicating with alcohol to keep themselves from going nuts. Maybe it's not wise to cut that supply off. I don't know what area you live in but I live in a metro area and listen to the scanner frequently and people are already way off the hook.

Clearly, I should have bolded the second paragraph. Let me try again:

It makes sense that alcohol consumption, especially at high levels, increases risk of becoming infected with the virus. Only that. Shutting liquor stores makes no sense at all.

LET OUR FREE PEOPLE BE FREE TO MAKE FREE CHOICES, Whether we think they are good ones or not.

Yes, I drink occasionally, though less than when I was younger as it is harder on my body now. That is my choice though, and I don't presume to choose for anyone else.

Oh, and additionally, we should probably just tell the WHO to FOAD, not only on this issue, but in general. They have basically proven themselves to be as useless as two dead flies, or even more accurately, worse than useless.

I'm confused. How is this bad news? Maybe I am misunderstanding, but to me it sounds like, "The virus is much less lethal than the doomsayers have been predicting. It is also much more widespread." One can infer, "The shutdown is a total waste of time. It is time to put our big boy pants on, suggest those at higher risk (or who just feel unsafe) self-quarantine, and let everyone else go back to work."

Am I misunderstanding the information?

If accurate, then this is more prevalent but it also seems to me as well, that it is not as lethal as they want us to think being that so many can have it with no or very little symptoms. It is totally time to let people get back to their lives and jobs.
But that will not fit with their narrative and efforts to control everyone.

Yesterday, that model said Florida's peak deaths would happen on May 6 and we would have over 4,700 deaths. Today, it says the peak happened on April 2 and our total projected deaths are now under 1,400. At one point, when the shut down decisions were being made, project deaths were over 15,000. What happened between yesterday and today that caused the peak death date to shift from 2 weeks from now to 2 weeks ago? The model, the inputs, and/or the people running it are fucking shit.

Fuck the WHO! I've got enough problems at work right now with all this bullshit, the last thing I need is for half the City of Anchorage to go into full blown withdrawal and come to the ER seeking treatment.

Why would anybody believe anything the WHO says?
They have covered up and lied right from the start of this mess.

Texas is laying the groundwork for reopening.

Gov Abbott issue 3 executive orders :

established the Strike Force to Open Texas—a team of nationally recognized medical experts and private and public leaders who will advise the Governor on safely and strategically reopening the state of Texas. More CEOs on the task force than doctors and politicians.

starting a retail to go model on April 24th for non-essential services

loosening restrictions on surgeries on April 21st based on COVID-19 PPE availability, reserving 25% of hospital beds for COVID-19, and are no long dependent on the state or feds for COVID-19 PPE

As a result, my county's emergency manager [URL=suspended our Stay at Home Order and Curfew]suspended our Stay at Home Order and Curfew[/URL] .
