Which state? And how do you know tens of thousands are ignoring it?

Georgia reopened weeks ago and yesterday hit their lowest levels of cases and deaths since the outbreak began at 22 and 3 respectively: https://ga-covid19.ondemand.sas.com/

Georgia reopened 14 days ago. The incubation is 14 days.

If their numbers stay low in the next few days then great!

But if they start going up, they will have sacrificed the lives of Georgians to prove that it’s not safe to reopen.

I hope the cases stay low.

No, they started reopening on April 24th: https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/kemp-shuttered-georg...

So yeah the models were wrong.

It was a very limited reopening on April 24. The full reopening didn’t happen until April 30.

you mean to imply covid-19 is no more scary than a normal seasonal flu ?

Yes. Are we to live our lives always like this now - always trying to stay 2m away from each other?

if not keeping a 2m distance if going to get us killed, then I guess many would not have a problem with keeping the 2m distance. Ultimately it is all about survival.

This is all way overhyped. The virus is not as deadly as you're being conditioned to believe. It's about control

Relax dude, it is a pandemic, we have enough data which tells us how contagious it is, and what needs to be done to control the spread. It's going to pass, here in India, we have opened up almost all zones where there are no cases, and activity is almost back to normal.

Contagiousness is different than mortality. It seems quite contagious, but low mortality. But I am not in India right now - I am in the US where hysteria is everywhere and they are talking about continuing lockdowns for months longer, or basically indefinitely.

indeed contagiousness is different from mortality, but think of it like this, if more humans are infected at the same time, it'll overload the hospital capacities, this will 1- make it impossible to ensure proper care, since the hospitals will be overwhelmed. 2- also impact patients who require treatments for other illnesses, since systems will be busy and overloaded with the covid-19 patients.

Mortality rate for the coronavirus is about 0.3% - the flu is about 0.002%. These are not comparable numbers. For every person who catches the flu and dies from it, 150 people who catch the coronavirus would die.

This is with the best treatment we can afford given the current contagion rate - if more people were infected, we could not afford treatment for them, and the mortality rate would climb.
