This may be beyond your comprehension, but intelligent people can view the same issue and come to different conclusions. There’s no need for you to be an asshole. She’s an incredibly talented writer and a wonderful representative of the University of Georgia.
I don’t necessarily agree 100% with the piece but it is heavily sourced and well written.
LOL. Exactly. Or I'd be coming for you in the dead of a Manhattan night.
The days are pretty dead up here right now too! But you won't find me in Manhattan these days. I'm hunkered down at home in Brooklyn.
Shes a funny person and a good follow on Twitter. I disagree with her on this , and The Atlantic is run by a bunch of commies, but otherwise Im fine w it. I dont understand this constant mania about hospital beds. There are 3 hospitals here where I live and right now they are all laying folks off. They are completely empty.Amanda Mull. She should be publicly shamed along with her family for such drivel
Same here in AugustaGot to the lie about over whelming hospitals.never happened. I have three relatives that are RN’s, one in Albany ,in Americus, Macon. All are tired of having to wear all the equipment, but they are not over whelmed. So why read someone’s slanted opinion. Let her report on the General Flynn frame up by our government This suggested article type will never appear this publication.
Actually that is not common knowledge. That is an opinion by people that do not align with him politically.Good for her. Kemp is a moron. Its now common knowledge across the nation.
Sorry - I should have been more clear...its common knowledge amongst those that have even a small amount of intelligence.Actually that is not common knowledge. That is an opinion by people that do not align with him politically.
Ahhhhh, I went with the "Lower East Side" reference when the answer was right there in your profile. Ugh. Where in Brooklyn?
Actually that is not common knowledge. That is an opinion by people that do not align with him politically.
I was living on the Lower East Side way back when I opened this account. My wife and I moved to the Kensington neighborhood of Brooklyn in 2008 and been here since. Still work in the Flatiron neighborhood of Manhattan, but haven't been there since March 12 and don't expect to until June.
Jesus - “For weeks, Americans have watched the coronavirus sweep from city to city, overwhelming hospitals, traumatizing health-care workers, and leaving tens of thousands of bodies in makeshift morgues.”
So, she considers her hyperbole "Common sense and rational"? Ironically, she is the one using emotion to push her ideological view. The Atlantic stopped being a legit news source years ago.F-ing human sacrifice. LOL.
All I needed to see was the opening comments "The state is about to find out how many people need to lose their lives to shore up the economy" to see that it's nothing but emotional panic driven bulls--t like everything else is in today's media & society. Emotions rule over everything, common sense & rational thought have no place in America's discourse anymore.
There's nothing "ideological" about calling someone out on their blatant idiocy. What kind of governor decides to open up an entire state during a pandemic, and not have ONE meeting or ONE phone call with a city mayor across the entire state outlining his intentions. C'mon, he's an idiot...you know it, you just don't want to be mocked by the other idiots.So, she considers her hyperbole "Common sense and rational"?

What bothers me is the Government can use a public health crisis to gain complete control of our lives. Given the facts that we know the death rates or over stated. Given the fact that our immune system maybe effective way to end this virus with some help from zinc. Some of immune Doctors I have listed to are irate over how this pandemic has been handle. I guess opinions are tongues everybody has oneVery well written article. There has always been a balance between public health and preserving the economy. I'm not blaming Kemp as I recognize the value of both. Two businesses right next door to me have gone out of business after this started.
With Ditmas Park as a buffer.Right up against Flatbush................
Yeah, unfortunately it was classic fear mongering with “testing” thrown in and a total misconception of that opening up means - it isn’t a mandate to open but for the most part puts people in no different position than they were in while quarantining except they now have the right to operate their business if they so choose.Unbelievable. This vicious monster is going from city to city devouring everyone in its path, millions & millions of people have been lost....or back here in reality, over 50% of the deaths are in 3 states (NY, NJ, Mass) & the rest of the 47 states in the union haven't had anything even close to that.
Hospitals across America are so overwhelmed that nurses have only been able to make 1 or 2 Tik Tok videos a day of them dancing in the hallways.
It's an editorial publication. It has never been a news source. It solely exists to provide commentary, not to report the news.The Atlantic stopped being a legit news source years ago.

Yeah, it's like people are injecting disinfectants or something!F-ing human sacrifice. LOL.

Yep - but shutting down our society until we have a vaccine won’t result in any deaths.No, it's human sacrifice. Wake up bro.

Ouch...sick burn.I printed the article out and filed it in its proper place...........................................the garbage.

One is a sourced, researched opinion piece that uses hyperbole to get a point of disagreement with public policy across.
The death rate is the percent of people with it who die. It has little to nothing to do with whether there is a quarantine.1- The government does not have "complete control" of anyone's life.
2- If the death is rate is lower that some feared weeks ago, it's because the lockdown has worked. It has slowed the spread of the virus so that hospitals can cope with it.
3- If all you needed was zinc to protect yourself against COVID-19, we'd be living in a very different world.
This virus has killed at least 61,000 Americans in seven weeks despite the most extreme lockdown in American history. Yes, New York City has accounted for a big chunk of that because the population density up here is nearly 27,000 people per square mile. It's a different challenge in Georgia, but the lockdown has surely helped there too.
The only issue to debate is whether the coast is clear for reopening. People with open minds can debate that question without personal insults against those who disagree.
The death rate estimates from weeks ago was based on social distancing and stay at home orders. They were wrong.1- The government does not have "complete control" of anyone's life.

I'm sure you're smarter than this...but who could tell by this response.Maybe a governor that has one of the country's leading epidemiologist advising him and puts out guidelines for the mayors to consider. I'm pretty sure the Governor isn't forcing anyone to do anything. He's simply relaxing his order and doesn't need mayoral advise in order to tell mayors they are more free to run their cities.
Having said that, I'm not a Kemp fan and would vote against him if he has a decent primary opponent or a Dem that isn't left of center.

No one knows how many the virus has killed as people are labeled Covid deaths even if no test was performed. If they show signs, Covid death. Notice that pneumonia and influenza related deaths have miraculously plunged since the beginning of March.
I don’t disagree with any of that, but I think there are some folks in this thread who are very much into public shaming so long as the content of the article diverges from their view. But when it doesn’t, they suddenly become paragons of open mindedness. Personally, I think you should be able to read things you disagree with without going into shame mode, but that seems to be a significant problem for many on both sides of the political divide.No, not like that.
One is a sourced, researched opinion piece that uses hyperbole to get a point of disagreement with public policy across. Is it right or helpful or worthwhile? I don’t know, probably for some, but likely not for most.
The other is calling for the public shaming of a person and their family for having a different point of view and expressing it in a way they don’t like. Is that right, or helpful or worthwhile? I just don’t see how it is. Maybe that’s on me.
You didn’t address why pneumonia and influenza deaths plummeted as soon as Covid supposedly ramped up in the US (early March).Pneumonia and influenza kill an average of 60,000 people per year. COVID-19 has killed more than 60,000 in seven weeks DESPITE THE LOCKDOWN. And there is still no recognized effective treatment or vaccine.
But while you and I can respectfully disagree about the scale of this problem and the question of reopening bowling alleys, the responses you're getting come from your suggestion that the author of this piece and her family should be publicly shamed. Sorry, that's just childish. And you should be embarrassed for suggesting that.
