agreed. they had to tell the tourist in my town to stop coming. there's plenty of seniors who live here and it would be devastating for both human life and the local hospital.

I like how he's handled the virus here but 8 months is just gonna scare people and make more people wanna buy crap in bulk so others cant get it.

I also sincerely doubt we're on lockdown for 8 months. 3/4 sure, but almost a year of this... not happening

A lot of politicians have been fear mongering as of late. I remember one governor going our state has 100k infected. Expected our numbers to double every 6 days. And a lot are comparing this to a war and to expect a lot of deaths like you would in a war.

Yeah right months isn't going to happen. Not even three or four will happen without younger generations rioting. At some point people will get fed up, especially those under 40, and say fuck this and try to go back to normal. The logic would basically be why should we put our lives on hold for a virus that overwhelmingly only kills Boomers and older to protect their lives when they are the very same people that got us into this mess in the first place?

When you get right down to it, it's pretty hard to argue with. The older generations are the ones that fucked the younger generations over with global warming and refusing to do anything about it since they don't need to worry about it, racked up a 20+ trillion dollar debt they don't need to worry about, started multiple wars, increased the wealth gap, made retirement for Millennials sound like a child's fantasy story, ruined the American dream, and so on and so forth. So when you get right down to it, is it really that bad of a thing if a bunch of them die off? So far the death toll is somewhere around 95% 60 and older. Sooooo in the end it will just help the younger generations bring about change they think will help benefit society.


Ok...

Yes because the average grandparent today did all of that and they deserve to die.

How stupid to post something like this. People will read this and panic more than they already were. Then you say in the same message not to hoard food, you just instilled the very fear in people that was making them do exactly that before.

This person should lose their job.

To slow the pace so that doctors and hospitals have a fighting chance at not being completely overwhelmed by cases.

That's nice, but they're not, which is why posting that was so irresponsible. All the average person is going to get from that message is "OH GOD 8 MONTH LOCKDOWN OH FUCK OH SHIT GET TO THE STORE"

And they're going to tell all their friends who will never see the actual tweet and will think the same thing. This type of recklessness is so dangerous.

What in the fuck does any of that have to do with covid 19?

Sounds like you just want to rationalize some lunatic revenge fantasy. Unless that was just satire, then Id say you definitely got me good.

He is just being honest about the possibilities. I'm not sure if you have seen other press conferences but many others are saying similar fear mongering type stuff. California Gov just said a couple days ago 56% of california will get it. But of course don't panic.
