Speaking as somebody who sees friends posting party footage on Instagram Stories, I would not be so confident. There are many places to host parties. With the mayor giving them attention, people will be afraid they are missing out.

100% yes. Like you would not believe.

The point is clear; whether this action will advance public health goals is not.

I’m sure the notoriety that comes from hosting a party so epic the mayor holds a news conference about it will lead to a dramatic uptick in rule-following.

While on paper that analogy is sound, I feel in practice the asks being made are more extreme and disruptive than short-term water conservation. Others may disagree.

I remember reading tales of the WHO’s legendary corruption from a book made of paper at a library. That was a long time ago.

We need policy that works for people, not policy that wins debates. That’s all I’m saying.

The original idea was that there was no way that policy was being informed by the trade-off described by parent, so it was a moot point. I think I was not clear enough.

I think you are arguing against a man made out of straw. People do not want to live like this, regardless of economics or theory. You can shout argument after argument; it won’t change that more and more people are going to mingle.

Our approach isn’t working for people. No amount of scolding is going to change that.

That’s about a month’s worth of deaths. The economic impact would be roughly that of everybody taking a really long vacation. We are past that. And it’s completely besides the point—-it does not seem like that is the calculus going into our

People aren’t staying home, so it seems like that didn’t work.

I was referring to the partisan mudslinging, the conspiracy theories, and so on. I do not keep up with that. I am active in our local community and contributing my own interpretation. Edit: and if you are implying that Newsom and Breed and

I think we see the consequences of a plan that is idealistic and unrealistic. I don’t believe any amount of moral handwringing and shouting is going to make it work.

It’s more like somebody else’s house is on fire, I thought my taxes paid for firefighters, but it turns out those firefighters never bothered to purchase firefighting equipment, so you’re forcing me to spend months putting out other people’

I think more and more people are tired of having their jobs, educations, and social activities toyed with like they are trivial things.

> Do you live in the US? The situation is exactly the opposite here. I do. I live in the Bay Area. Your local situation may be different. I stand by what I said. I’m surprised to hear some think there will be a permanent COVID emergency.

While you raise a good point, I question the wisdom of relying solely on hastily devised rules and accompanying sloganeering to solve such issues. I understand the pandemic is an emergency, but it was predictable. If we got caught with our

To amplify this, while I appreciate the passion some people have for community health, there has been a pattern of bald-faced lying that is unsustainable and potentially counterproductive. I can see somebody going to the gym and not feeling

I think few are willing to sustain a COVID-free lifestyle indefinitely. Using induction some people probably conclude that they might as well not bother. I see the reasoning and don’t think the ethics of our pandemic behaviors have been ful

I think some would prefer standing up a more democratic process and putting time constraints on the undemocratic processes.

The way I see it, the issue is that the “as soon as possible” is being interpreted to mean “the time at which there is no risk to my political career,” not merely when it is prudent to reopen.

Some people enjoy lifting weights to get stronger. It is a hobby.
