Dr. Phil warns about dire health consequences of shutdown

[Reformed1689]

I see. So gloves don't work and masks don't work. The only thing that does work is social distancing and stay-at-home. But, hey let's throw the country wide open for business again, because Dr. Phil says people might get depressed.

No reason to stay on lockdown

Covid-19 can be present in people's bodies without them knowing it.

People can be contagious without them knowing it.

This virus is highly, highly contagious. It can live on surfaces for hours.

Once people get the virus it can take up to 14 days to present symptoms (if it presents symptoms.)

This virus can be fatal. We are at over 2,500 deaths per day in the US.

Without extensive testing for the specific Covid-19 virus we don't know who has it, therefore we don't know who is contagious, therefore a huge outbreak can't be contained except through social isolation and social distancing.

The only people who should isolate are confirmed cases and those that are at high risk. MOST people dying are ones with already very bad health conditions.

Totally agree with you.

Now, tell us how you determine the carriers that have no symptoms?

Are high risk people everyone over age 60?

Well first, the high risk individuals should be allowed to decide for themselves whether or not they risk going out. But I'm not worried about carriers that have no symptoms. Maybe just have everyone wear masks for the time being.

Again I agree with you.

I would also say that businesses that can reopen that don't draw crowds should be able to do that with sensible guidelines. Restaurants could space tables at a distance, servers could wear masks, etc.

There's no reason Walmart can be open but the mom & pop hardware stores must be closed.

Theaters and sports events could sell a reduced number of seats that were spaced at distances. As the pandemic ebbs these restrictions could be loosened.

Retail stores could have revised capacity numbers, have a gatekeeper at the doors to regulate the number of customers allowed in the store. Customers would need to practice safe distancing. Retail stores could stop people without masks from entering. Or provide masks at the door. I doubt people would go to stores to browse, most would likely have items in mind and go in and buy and exit quickly.

I'm sure most businesses have already come up with policies that would work.
