Flat curve theory: the curve was always flat!
Oceiros3301
The whole point was to not overload hospitals and to slow the spread to buy them time to learn about it.not stop it. Its managed now.
JeffreyDeTar
Flattening the curve now means there is room for you in the I.C.U.

No just keep the parachute on for ever...

It's not common sense. But if u have it, stay home more often, avoid crowds and wear mask in public until there's a treatment

To me, the term "common sense" is now an insult.

So Gramsci defines "common sense" not as things that are self-evident, but as myths that we hear repeated often enough that we internalize1/
DevonGronka
them without ever thinking through how we came to see it as correct (i.e. sense that is common to a group of people). This puts a really 2/3
DevonGronka
different spin on the phrase, and helps explain why so many peoples' "common sense" is so misaligned with reality.
Theauthenticdonaldtrump
know how we buy insurance and your lucky if u never needed it, but it's a good idea to have it? Keep doing what the doctors say. It's safer
TheydownvotedJesusbecausehetoldthetruth
I really don't like analogies because they often muddle the truth behind the subject and often make false equivalences.
Jinxer13
There actually is a technical problem with this analogy. There is no downside to keeping parachute on till you land safe but there is a (1)
Jinxer13
downside to lockdown indefinitely. Disclaimer, i am not supporting opening the lockdown, i m just pointing out that the "dilemma" is nowhere
Jinxer13
to be found in the parachute analogy.
FlamingDeathGoat
This is a false equivalency, the parachute would only kill HIMSELF! COVID gonna kill a lot of other people if you walk around sick lol.
Munchman347
How about the people he lands on?...
FlamingDeathGoat
That would be one hell of a landing lol.

Did you need to shoot anyone invading your home? Let's put down your guns then, they've done their job. Oh you need them "just in case"?

Is Dr. Phil himself even legit one? Psychologist usually does their job in more closed enviroment than tv studio and for a reason too.
BlacklightSparks
He is a doctor though? He's a clinical psychologist.
ararebeast
He's a doctor of Clinical Psychology, but he's no longer licensed to practice and is not a physician nor an epidemiologist.

he lpst his License to officially practice psychology and guests on his show sign a waver theyre recieving advice from

You know, it's not an all-or-nothing proposition. We can reopen most businesses - require masks and social distancing.

That is exactly what should happen.

The parachute has slowed my fall *I can now modulate it to control direction and speed to get to the ground as fast as I need to*

*Without any new protections in place whatsoever so it's like like reversing the effect of the parachute*

Common sense stopped being common about a decade ago
sunfried
It has never been common; it's part of the false consensus fallacy.
Macnin10dos
So are we not supposed to ever get the virus? I’m sure that’s not what the point to all this is right now
DavosTheOnionKnight
There's a fundamental misunderstanding. We want as many people to get infected and survive to build herd immunity. We just needed to stagger
DavosTheOnionKnight
The initial rate of infection to make sure our hospitals could handle it. They are now fully stocked and have the capacity.
Munchman347
What about Ebola? SARs?, Malaria? Polio? Measles? AIDs? 'Herd Immunity' is only achieved with a vaccine, not deadly exposure...
Macnin10dos
And there is no definite information that there will be herd immunity once people get infected. We are supposed to flatten the curve to(1/2)
Macnin10dos

Why are people worried about authoritarian government policies? This is not how totalitarian governments are born, this is just temporary
DaddyLike
This is considered a “conservative” point of view now. So it will be endlessly shit on by he stupid masses.

According to popular actions, the Federal reserve can print meet and wheat. :P
BubbaRunski
The problem isn't the beliefs, it's the proposed solution. Example: Worry all you want about govt. expansion, don't ignore the CDC bc of it.
DaddyLike
Many people aren’t protesting stay-at-home itself, but rather government overreach. Unfortunately, they get lumped in with the morons.
BubbaRunski
From what I've seen, most protesters are Fox viewers who think the disease is nbd and wanna show off their guns.
woodjoiner
Try different news sources.
FlexGunship
No. Keep up social distancing. Reopen businesses.
dontrike
Aw, you're cute if you think that people will remember that. Also, some still wouldn't open.
DoorToDoorHentaiSaleswoman
I work in retail. You reopen businesses and people stop giving a shit about social distancing. The public needs to be treated like children
FlexGunship
Treat yourself like a child. Many of us are adults. We love the ideal of personal freedom. Go be a child on your own. Leave the adults alone
FlexGunship
South Dakota is all the data you need. Never locked down and doing fine. California doctors say we overreacted with the shutdown. >>
FlexGunship
Sweden is a great model to follow. They are doing fantastically.
dontrike
Clearly you're not an adult if you think people can be trusted in any capacity.

I would love to leave people alone. I really would. But unfortunately you're all fucking idiots.

I mean yes, but nowhere in the US really spiked except for New York. It's disingenuous to apply NYC curve to everywhere else.
OrionRed
I think it spiked everywhere, just at lower total numbers based on population.
Oceiros3301
The whole point was to not overload hospitals and to slow the spread to buy them time to learn about it not stop it. Its managed now.
OrionRed
It's managed as in we've got some more capacity. But the unmitigated rate would still be too high.

We're on second wave, not first. First was in dec, we peeked our second in April (Thanks spring breakers), third should be ~June-July

Wherever you're getting your misinformation from, you should find more reliable sources.

Oooh, is someone a little butthurt he was wrong?
SpyofBlock
remember when lockdowns were meant to flatten the curve and not just stay inside until an arbitrary opening date?
IgnoreAlienOrders
Many elected officials are now drunk on power.
kingbudo101
by arbitrary opening date do you mean when a reliable treatment is found that cuts mortality down and length of hospital stay? because thats

what they have always been, to make time for the medical system to handle the influx of patients and a treatment to aid in that effort
GhostGuy
Mortality is already low as shit. Just like our economic hopes and employment levels due to all of this.

its .6% or 6 times deadlier than the flu. But it spreads like herpes in a frat house. 20% of people who get it need hospitalization
GhostGuy
Oh no, six times deadlier than an illness that we have vaccinations and modern medical treatment for that's hardly a threat to existence.
kingbudo101
kinda missed my point of the 20% of people get need hospitalization. THATS the threat. thats how the mortality rate explodes. when our
