Polis to mandate masks across the state

[Gman]

I like this thread. Maybe it's my unusually good mood, but despite all the bickering, I think it needs to be out there so everyone can see each other's points of view.

I'm going to Hawaii in October. Currently, if you fly into Hawaii, you have to quarantine for 14 days, which is longer than my trip. If you take a test before you leave and come up negative, then you're good to go. Does it make me a sheep to not want to forfeit thousands of dollars to have none of my family test positive right in time to sink the family vacation?

The magical "14 days". Another arbitrary number that has been repeated enough that people take it as "science". It's as effective as the barber shop checking my temperature before I get a haircut. Many people with Covid-19 don't show signs of fever.



It'd be more fun if you were "stuck in Hawaii 'cuz Covid" for an extra 14 days, but it might get expensive.

Was just looking at the Tri-County statistics. DougCo has had a total of 185 hospitilizations for C-19. I think we had plenty of capacity to handle that. There have been 54 deaths and the average age was 63. The response for this shouldn't be handled at the Fed. or even State level. If you're in a county that isn't having a problem, trying to mandate a response is a bad idea IMO.

There are large chunks of this country that have been unaffected by the virus. Virtually nowhere in this country has been unaffected by the govt. response to the virus.
