Opening for Business—State By State?

statnews.com How prepared is your county for Covid-19

The above was sent to me today by a friend in Alton.

It is a website that you can plug in any county in the country and see a list of ratings on how well your county is prepared as well as when the virus is expected to peak.


I typed in Carroll County NH- the peak date is AUGUST 3.

Scary.

Unfortunately, this is not surprising with the way it spreads. I came up to the lake for the day to take care of some business this week and frankly, I was very surprised at the number of people NOT wearing masks in stores. I saw very few. I know it’s rather odd and can make people self-conscious but if people don’t take this small step,the area will eventually be hit at least moderately hard as more people arrive in the area as the weather warms. I also saw many people stopping and talking with each other as if nothing was going on. The vast majority of experts say social distancing works. Stop and talk, just stay far enough apart. I fear for what this summer and autumn will look like here if what I witnessed is the norm.

Hold on, you came up to the Lake for the day and were out shopping? You're giving people grief about not wearing masks?

I'm not sure where you got "giving people grief"? I was making an observation based on guidelines issued by the government saying that people should wear face coverings and that people should maintain social distance when in public spaces. Both of which I was observing when I went shopping, which is my right to do.

My point was that based on what I saw, it won't be surprising if the lack of observance creates issues later on. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I agree that it may cause issues. I was pointing out that coming here from somewhere, shopping and then posting about the lack of face coverings is a little hypocritical, given the guidance and directives from our officials.

I think you totally missed the point that you are part of the way that it spreads. You’re not supposed to come up here and go into stores before you have spent 14 days in quarantine to make sure that you are safe to go out to stores.

You should be far less worried about me, who practices social distancing, wears a mask, uses a bucket of hand sanitizer a week, than you should be of the zero people I saw wearing masks last week. Make no mistake, people are still traveling. I saw plenty of out of state plates up there as I see plenty of them daily in MA.

So, we went to work on the house at the lake from Nashua 04/18, went did our stuff came back home, no stops, here's what we saw Motorcycles everywhere (I also Ride), out of state plates, for the most part NO one social distancing or mask. Ok, so I must admit I was somewhat taken back, truth in Nashua many folks are adhering to the program, and not for nothing, Ma is 3rd highest cases in the USA, Middlesex County being the worse, the county that borders Southern NH, where many folks pass through heading north, no offence folks, but the Boston Mayor stated he was very disappointed in those NOT following guidelines, I'm not saying it was just MA and/or out of state folks, but summer isn't here yet!
There seems to be some apathy about this virus, some don't realize when they start TRACING(Look it Up) many folks will wind up in quarantine for at least 14 days, just by association, yea the peep standing next to you, or the older folks walking by when you coughed. Not for nothing, what does rebelling or failing to do the basic 's accomplish. If you have the bug, you and all those who decided to snub the recommendations wind up in quarantine for at least 14 days (Sick or Not), that'll suck huh. Or perhaps worse, one of your loved becomes ill and perhaps draws the short straw and dies, I'm amazed, if it was that some folks who do as they wish simply hurt themselves, no big deal, but in this case reckless behavior puts many innocent folks at risk.
So, yes this truly really sucks, but here in NH we've been lucky so far, but if what we saw in Laconia stays the course that may be short lived.
Simply Wear a Mask, Stay 6 Feet Away, Wash Your Hands, treat the situation like it was a loved one your protecting or maybe it could be someone else's loved one!!!! If your from MA, NY, Ct, RI etc. have some decency and do the right thing, which is self quarantine if you plan to stay, (14 Days), or just stay home till the smoke settles.

Thanks a Concerned NH Native and Family

I've been in Meredith the past couple weekends and it's been very good. There are people out and about but for the most part they are staying far away from each other. Not everyone in wearing masks but them seem to be keeping a safe distance apart from one another.

That's good, but it wasn't that way in Laconia the day we went, sadly!!!

Reporting from Florida, where my county allows only residents to enter:


Over on the West Coast, 27,000 employees are returning to the Boeing plant today.

https://q13fox.com/2020/04/16/back-t...ing-next-week/

Here on the East Coast, a Massachusetts judge has released a prisoner with Wuhan Flu symptoms to prevent a flu-surge throughout the marginal social-distancing found among inmates.

Jailed for selling heroin, the felon will stay with his mother in her assisted-living facility near Boston.

Meanwhile, the courts still cash their paychecks.

When I read someone get chastised for driving up to New Hampshire and going to a store I wonder how many people, including those that set the guidelines really understand what the rules are. Apparently some of the comments follow a rule that once you leave your home and travel to a different state or place you must quarantine for 14 days before going out in public. If this person was practicing social distancing and traveled directly by car, then why when someone goes to the gas station for gas are they not expected to quarantine for 14 days before going out again? I just don't think the guidelines/rules have been adequately explained leaving room for rules police to emerge especially on social media. I think we were given guidelines to follow using common sense ( something becoming scarcer than M95 masks). I am in Florida right now and our county has has 770 cases of which 340 are active which means that 1 out of every 2000 is known to have the virus. Which brings up another point, testing. Every politician and medical person they trot out before the cameras says testing is the answer to opening the economy. But no one is saying who exactly we are going to test. I fear that this is a false narrative as unless we all isolate from one another and are all tested at the same time, the virus will continue to slither between those untested and those already tested. The language about why we shut down the economy is also changing. Remember we were told that the economy was shut down to flatten the curve so that the hospitals were not over run. Now we are hearing that if we go back to work there will be more cases and deaths. What is now beginning to emerge is the truth. We are all going to get this virus sooner or later and some of us will die from it. Immunologists are now saying that the savior vaccine we are waiting for will not work 100% and could even offer little protection. The truth is that vaccine used against mutating viruses have generally been between 40 and 80 percent effective. The effects of this shut down are becoming dangerous. The government is trying to blunt the economic hardship but it's systems were never designed to have 22 million people file for unemployment in 3 weeks. They can not get stimulus checks out to all the people in a week or two. The size of the lines at food banks is astounding and the people interviewed while waiting are becoming desperate and the food banks are not able to serve all of those in line. I fear we are very close to hearing the first reports of robbery of groceries in the Winn Dixie parking lot. The country needs to get back to work and soon. Some level of death will happen. Will it be acceptable? Of course it is not. All will need to practice separation as much as possible. Those of us over 60 or with conditions will have to stay isolated until we see what happens with infection rates. Hope you all stay well.

The simple rules is, Wear a Mask(It Should Be), Wash Your Hands (Alot), or Use Sanitizer (Alcohol 65 Percent), Stand Away 6(Six) Feet. This IS NOT rocket science just good ole common sense in nerve wracking times. I agree let's open the country back up, ASAP, but not in a haphazard way. People need to adhere to simple rules first, this allows the virus less opportunity to continue to spread. BTW, I'm in the 60+ crowd, I don't really feel like dying just yet, and not because we did stupid ****. If peeps can't follow simple rules just what makes anyone think we can safely open the doors back up. Just a FYI, this virus doesn't age discriminate younger, young, middle,old, older, it's worse for the older crowd that find themselves in assisted living nursing homes and they are trapped, in Nashua that's one of the hardest hit locals and the biggest contributor to death in the city.
Let's be real folks, it's on us if you think the govment is gonna miraculously save your asses, think again, or watch some CNN, Fox, or pick you poison.

Great, all they have to do is do it, Knowing is only half the battle actually doing is another........

We run a Commercial/Industrial cleaning company, we are working everyday and the rules are constantly reinforced. Humans especially Americans have what is known as selective hearing, or the forget syndrome, you know it happened last week, what!!!

Yep, Re-Hash everyday here, one goes down and many follow, sick not sick at home 14 days, we can't run our biz that way.

So, Yes Robin it is what it is!!!!
