Coronavirus Thread V: A Shot in the Arm (READ OP)

[Loeje]

Not in the slightest, thankfully

There is going to have to be one eventually and relatively soon.

Why should it be soon?

Let's see how this works out, and then decide

[Ifreann]

Maybe I'm missing something, but it really seems like a bad idea to open things up just because case numbers are down and not because anything has actually been done to make the operation of those things safer.

Tell me how you'd make it safer?

[Kowani]

Merck says the experimental antiviral drug molnupiravir it is developing with Ridgeback Bio shows a quick reduction in infectious virus in its phase 2a study among participants with early COVID-19

[Kannap]

There is going to have to be one eventually and relatively soon.

Why should it be soon?

Lumen would have preferred things being open at full capacity in March, 2020.

"Soon" is a compromise on his part.

If it can't be made safer to prevent spread of COVID then perhaps that's an indication that it should remain closed.

I am quite confident multiple cures will be found for covid. The flu has multiple including the well known Tamiflu.

There is no cure for the flu, hence why it still exists. There are plenty of preventative treatments as well as treatments for when you have it, both of which help to limit the severity of the flu, but no cures.

Cure was the wrong word to use. I should have have said treatment.

Tamiflu is not a standard treatment either. It's a prescription only and can't be obtained through pharmacies. Tamiflu can cause vomiting, nausea, and even hallucinations.

I think Lumen's views on covid are worse than those of many conservatives because whereas many conservatives legitimately believe "it's just the flu," Lumen knows full and well how bad this virus is and he still wants shit reopened.

That's not a good thing. I'd prefer for this whole pandemic to be over, but until it is, we need to be patient. Theme parks are the least important thing to reopen right now.

Of course he does, he represents China, their vaccine sucks and they are very good at stealing I mean reproducing stuff.

They are mostly outdoors, if airflow in the rides can be increased, and crowds controlled. Florida is not doing especially terribly, why not?

But ohoho Gen, you haven't considered the theme park employees who are suffering by not being thrown into work in a hazardous situation. How will they survive?

Would anyone even want to go to a theme park?

Sure. All those people who listened to the “truth” about covid by the ex-president.....

Same people who would go to a concert, or eat out frequently, or attend a Broadway musical.

[Dumb Ideologies]

Theme park magic should theoretically form an 100% effective barrier against Covid, if it doesn't the mascots aren't doing their job properly and they need to be whipped.

Everyone can use a day of escape these days.

Nonsense. It's perfectly reasonable to cut the parachute as soon as it starts slowing you down. Who cares if you're nowhere near the ground yet? it did its job.

It's the Florida way.
