COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)
We spoke earlier about moving the goalposts with the purpose of lockdowns and restrictions. It was from the beginning supposed to be about allowing the healthcare infrastructure to gather it's capacity and not be overwhelmed. That's been accomplished. Well, if you listen to the city's administration, the restrictions now are about making sure no one gets sick at all, which means they won't really lift restrictions until there is a vaccine or herd immunity, which by the way can't happen if you try to prevent people from getting it altogether. This is utterly ridiculous and is heading towards a form of fascism. New Orleans is so screwed with this mayor. People need to begin to make their own decisions on this. If you want to ride it out at home go for it. Life otherwise has to go on. Her plans do not appear to be a workable solution at all and would have the majority of the population dependent on handouts while the city's economy is utterly destroyed. What's the over/under on the city doubling down again while the rest of the state lifts more restrictions on the 15th? We can't have people eating at tables outside or going to church you know.
