Yup. What else are we supposed to do? -- nm - JackDawson Jun 3, 09:59 10
- I think that's the most challenging question here. We really don't have a good idea on how to proceed. -- nm - David Jun 3, 10:11 9
  - The reality is we all have a number where we would say it's not worth the effects of a lockdown. We're just arguing that number. -- nm - Dano Jun 3, 10:55 2
    - Well said. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 3, 12:02
    - Yes, you're absolutely right. -- nm - David Jun 3, 11:03
  - I hate Trump for thinking the Dow and his reelection matter more than doing the right thing, beyond that and some "hoaxers" out there, it's hard for m - JackDawson Jun 3, 10:14 5
    - Cases haven't spiked dramatically in a lot of places, but if you compare some places that initially had it very bad (ie Italy) - Reagen Jun 3, 10:23 4
      - That's true but does depend on the level of the flat line. A flat line at 10 cases per day isn't the same as a flat line at 10,000. - JackDawson Jun 3, 10:27 3
        
        Sure, but it's been shown that you can do more than flatten - Reagen Jun 3, 10:31 2
        
        Of course, that's my whole point about different strokes for different folks and you can't talk about one size fits all - JackDawson Jun 3, 10:34 1
        
        Absolutely. Quebec is still raging at hundreds of cases a day and Shaun (rightly) gets annoyed at 3 new cases in NB. -- (edited) - Reagen Jun 3, 10:38
