This is a perception thing at this point nothing else.

As another side note everyone also believes that antiviral medications are 100% effective, guess what they aren't.

It certainly will be interesting to see all of the after-event scientific analysis and the results of all the studies currently taking place.

Hong Kong was one of the earliest spots hit. Hong Kong tests heavily. Hong Kong has gone 14 days with zero locally transmitted cases.

The HK government continues to stress continued wearing of masks as an essential component of their efforts to combat transmission. I have no idea whether your assertion that wearing face coverings have done nothing to prevent the spread but it seems highly unlikely that it hasn’t helped here. Also, for sure their hospital isolation of COVID positive individuals has been highly effective in eliminating transmission here. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be sitting here with no new cases for weeks.

If face coverings, isolation, and distancing do nothing to prevent the spread, how does one explain the success they have had here in bottling this up, or in other places that have been similarly effective like South Korea, Taiwan, etc.?

My comment was not necessarily intended to muddy the water here or hijack this thread. I am no scientist, doctor, politician or lawyer. However I thought this was interesting information to put out there as I know this information preliminary as it may be is being fed through the FDA to government officials, as such I assume all the state Governors have access to it as well. Thus interesting as they mull over how and when they make decisions on moving forward as it sheds some light on a portion of the information they have at their disposal to make these decisions.

At least that was the intended context.

I won't be voting for him again. I've never voted for a Democrat in my life, but he put me out of work 6 weeks ago because I wasn't essential enough and no income since. I work outside and there's no reason for making it illegal for me to work. This is the opposite of what America is about.

Politicians shouldn't be making these sort of decisions on who wins and who loses. They're just not smart or honest enough and the damage he's done to my family is significant, with no end in sight.

I'm sorry you lost your job, and I hope you get it back soon. But I don't understand why your anger is directed only at the Governor. President Trump was pushing shutdowns hard 6 weeks ago.

Really? You work outside and you aren't allowed to work?

I’m sorry for what has occurred to you and your family but take a look at the Democratic run states and tell me you would of been better off...NOT!

If you don’t mind me asking what kind of work do you do?
