It is worth reading many of Dr Morrow's previous statements on the pandemic. This statement reflects the learnings across 10 months of fighting this virus. We really do need to some moving, congregating, and gathering in groups indoors. So on some level forcefully shutting everything down should achieve that, but we are humans and will make mistakes. So should we shut our way down into compliance or focus more on the specifics of what science says reduces transmissions? Dr Morrow makes a clear case for the latter. The only trick is how you convince everyone to comply.

- xfitm3 6y agoI despise lockdowns and my state won't enforce them. I am so thankful to be in a level headed state. Forcing people into poverty is just as bad or even worse as getting a virus. In my area beyond after the initial reopening its business as normal. Everyone is having parties and celebrating, living a normal life.

- gnusty_gnurc 6y agoDon't even act like objections are all for people who want to party. Some people don't realize that the working class have jobs, and as a free people with dignity they're entitled to keep them and it shouldn't be up to some wealthy politician to declare they can't work over ill-defined risks with unproven mitigation efforts. There is a very clear tradeoff based in uncertainty and fundamental inability to quantify risk and countermeasure effectiveness, and many people are acting as though the cost to large swathes of the population (those with the least power!) is just the price we have to pay. None of these politicians who are pulling the levers, destroying any semblance of normal life, plunging entire working class populations into despair are at ANY risk of financial ruin or losing their livelihoods. Meanwhile all the insufferable city liberals are shaming anyone who dares to try to sustain themselves at their job they devote themselves to in order to pay rent, feed themselves and take care of their families. Shame on you! Enough!

- txsoftwaredev 6y agoI'm thankful to be in state with limited covid rules. I started working out three months ago at a gym and have lost 15 lbs. I would have easily gained that if I was forced to stay home.
