I couldn't find exactly everyone who is on the management team who is advising the governor but its lead by the acting director of our public health and environmental control department's public health division and the head epidemiologist of the state is on it as well. I also found that the Chief of Staff of said agency is on it as well (environmental law background).
Not all states are, but many are pushing for that. This is a problem because people travel. Higher infection rates in one state tend to rapidly diffuse elsewhere
I would hope that hotels/AirBnB would be some of the last things allowed to reopen. I know we're not planning on opening those anytime soon, and at one point (might still, not sure) we had mandatory quarantine for people coming from areas with a high prevalence.
People stay with friends or family. When NYC went bad, my little PA area got flooded with NY plates as people fled to family and summer homes, despite there being zero hotels open
I think at this point we're both past the fleeing stage and we know to put restrictions in place about that - during the stage is when my state implemented a "if you're from NY/NJ you must quarantine upon entering the state" plan.
First, social distancing will still be enforced at the beach meaning the DNR will break up groups of more than whatever the current number is unless its a single family unit. So this isn't much different than having the sidewalks in my neighborhood open for walking/jogging in that its open air. Second, you leave it up to the towns so that if they want to be more restrictive they can unlike what we saw in Georgia. When this news broke on Sunday lots of the beaches around Charleston were prepared to defy the governor and stay closed. This way they can be and not have to defy him.
There is no way people will comply. And even absent fleeing, people are going to be visiting elsewhere. Hell, even with current restrictions I know people that have traveled to NYC, DC, CT, and Long Island during lockdown
Beaches are nothing like going outside for a walk or jog. The weather gets nice and the beach is a destination. I don’t see how they will keep social distancing up or enforce it, the mere act of opening beaches will ease peoples thoughts about it.
Well see we have these things called police that can use a motorized buggy (often known as a car) to drive up and down the beaches. They generally do things like enforce the law.
So its already a problem then
One that will enormously expand once these people are able to interact widely with the public and a greater number are emboldened to do as they please
Except, at least in my state, they still aren't. Stores are limited in the number of people they allow in. You're still not supposed to travel outside your city if you don't have to - although this was a guideline never a hard rule. Hotels/rentals are still closed as are restaurants, movie theaters, sporting events, you get the idea.
Not only that, Socialism incentivizes people to not improve their skills and to barely work at all, to let others pull their weight, to receive full benefits of a "living wage" without adding their fair share of productivity. Look at the controlled experiments of Germany and North Korea and tell me how well the government controlled side did.
I'm all about states using common sense measures
Wait out what exactly? A vaccine that best case scenario is 12-18 months away? Worst case scenario is never developed. Wait out herd immunity that would take many many years with an effective mitigation shutdown? Waiting it out indefinitely simply is not an option.
Yup, welcome to modern Socialism. What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine.
The easy path is pretending things are normal and not doing the hard work of quarantine, if you didn't catch that

Yay, we'll get one extra peanut!
Your ven diagram shows almost as many independent governors as Republican and Democrat, and you feel they are all *****s.Well, I surely wouldn't want to hurt the feelings of the somewhat competent GOP governors so here's a diagram I think is fair
Last week there were 7 states still without stay at home orders, some of which possibly hadn't peaked in cases, and all 7 were exclusively led by GOP governors. I really can't understand where your defensiveness is coming from since there is a small signal coming exclusively from one side.
You mean other than the one she is carrying that is killed off? Oh wait, I'll sound more doctorly and refer to it as a cell lump.
Given the choice I'd rather be at covid risk than abortly terminated. So you're right, it was a false equivalence.
We live in a Covid rich state 1.2 mil metro area, 1,000 Covid cases, 150 in hospital, 76 inICU, 46 on vent. One of our 8 regional med centers could handle all cases. Our cases are thankfully starting to drop, local university is starting to do elective procedures. Keeping our fingers crossed! Praying for all first responders. PPE is scarce but not reusing.
