Lex24,
A nice set of guidelines or recommendations should be coming from POTUS45 in this moment of crisis, but POTUS45 has been too busy tweeting about the election and now election fraud to ever really care about COVID.
Most other elected officials then are in a bind. Some know the right thing, but don't have the clout or standing to go up against President Tweet. So long, long ago they opted for an easy out. Most going along the lines with something like this, "I will listen to the medical experts and follow their advice."
The experts they are talking about are health care officials. So it should not be too shocking to see that in many states the tough love messages about the pandemic are coming from health care officials since elected officials punted to that group because they feared President Tweet's power.
IIWII
Most of these health officials never wanted to be out there pleading for citizens to alter their behavior to control a pandemic. They are trying and it is hard. The one thing they can see in the data is the current set of activities and behaviors will get a lot of citizens killed and could have a devastating long term impact on the health care system.
But...if those words don't work for you, not to worry...
Here in SoCal we got that BLEEP BLEEEP BLEEEEP cascade yesterday morning. If you had commentary for a health care official trying to humanely sound the alarm, just wait until every cell phone in your house/neighborhood or building blasts the alarm.
I sure hope some in the Bay Area listen to local health officials, but if most decide they would rather wait until they get a message from someone more important than Samsung, LG and Apple will chime in soon for your area too.
