Coronavirus Thread mark II: Official Apocalyptic Edition

Send them to volunteer at hospitals then...

That would be a pretty good punishment tbh.

Wanna violate quarantine? Fine, but if we catch you we'll make you fill any vacancies in essential occupations. Sure, that probably means more exposure to Coronavirus, but maybe you should've thought about it before you violated quarantine.

How about no?

What if they have zero medical training like ~99% of people and end up killing or seriously maiming someone from making bad split-second descisions.

No, those are both lies.

Just because it doesn’t suit your narrative doesn’t mean it isn’t true

I know how you feel, I feel your pain. Darn I just posted a good post on Cuba, during and before the virus, including on the USA, but this thread is moving so fast, their are at least 16 Posts right after it in a matter of seconds.

I mean, if you (not you) think this is a joke, maybe a few hours at the frontlines would make you understand. Or not. I don’t know. People who take this emergency as a joke or think it’s an exaggeration are imbeciles in my book.

Anecdotally, I've noticed that people are getting more lax about coughing etiquette since it stopped being something they were getting told about constantly. I'm seeing more people coughing into their hands, or not covering their mouths at all, than two weeks ago.

Why can't we all just practice good hygiene and invest more in healthcare? Wouldnt none of this be needed? I've read we might have no mass gatherings or events for at least two years if not longer and it might be many months before any stores or restaurants can reopen

I am not entirely certain the other systems are handling this much better. We will have to wait and see afterwards to make a full assessment.

This actually isn’t a terrible idea, and could do some good if you’re careful about it.

Test them for covid first - if they don’t have it, require volunteering. If they do, quarantine.
If/when they recover from it, then require them to do community service in hospitals. They’re now safe and probably can’t get it again.

This is a good apropos punishment, and would serve a social good.

Yes it is. Many people have no medical training at all

I like that one bit a lot.

Actually the enforced community service after the emergency is a good idea.

Wow we really are using NS issues for our policies now

[Trollzyn the Infinite]

It's called capital punishment and not capital deterrent for a reason.

It does nothing to stop crime. But that’s not the topic here.

Probably because that's not the point of it.

You keep saying it's not the topic, yet you keep wanting to hammer the point home that it's super-duper bad and totally wrong.

Yes it is. Many people have no medical training at all

There’s a lot of other jobs in hospitals besides doctors and nurses you know.

Who do you think cleans and disinfects the rooms? Delivers meals? Checks in guests? Gives directions? Moves empty hospital beds around? Changes the sheets? Restrains uncooperative patients?

The doctor giving directions got the easy job.

That would be very helpful, but not sufficient.

I would suggest that you stop reading about these things, they're not doing you any good. Just keep up with the latest advice from your state's health department.

How about yes.

We could slap them with fines, which would be nice but wouldn't be as effective as a punishment for those who can't afford it or can easily afford it. Jail time could put them at risk, because jails don't tend to be hygenic and good for social isolation.

Instead, make them help to maintain the quarantine that they decided to violate.

Essential occupations aren't just medical work.

Whatever we need to keep our society and economy running during the quarantine, send the quarantine violators to go fill gaps in as community service, if they're qualified for that role.

But yeah, putting them in as medics probably won't help, so that would be exempt.

No, actually. There is maintenance staff, clerical staff, volunteer groups, orderlies and security too. Doctors and nurses deal with the medical procedure at hand.

Yeah.

Maybe not medical if they're not trained, just something that means they have to contribute. I'd rather make them useful and help us get through this crisis, than hit them with fines that probably won't help us deal with this crisis, or put them in jail which could end up making things worse.

Have them direct traffic at the hospital, process paperwork, drive staff shuttles...

Probably because that's not the point of it.

In your opinion it is.

I, for one, don't lose sleep knowing scum like Dylann Roof can be rid of quickly and permanently.

And if you have a history of speeding infractions, but no accidents, drive ambulances.
