    excellent point.

    just based on how many people had it without knowing it in NY per the antibody tests...

    i think we can say that there must be a good deal of resistance to reinfection at least in the shorturn NY and surrounding areas would be overwhelmed by now.

    According to you people who are money-less and hungry have no redress of grievances anyway. Remember, your daughter is a nurse, and you made it clear that the rest of us had no right to protest.

    You used to be decent man, what happened?

    You are entitled to your opinion. My opinion is that "protesting" and not following social distancing guidelines during a pandemic is an attempt to kill my family. No different than shooting them with a gun.

    For those who are "money less" and "hungry" -- as pointed out by Governor Cuomo there are plenty of essential jobs available - go get one and stop being a lazy slob. Do you have something against people taking personal responsibility and getting a job to earn a living? Especially "protestors" since they don't believe COVID-19 is a serious problem. Should they just stay on the government dole?

    I support a path to get the economy back on track as soon as possible while not causing large scale deaths from a deadly pandemic. There are plenty of historical examples on the best methods of dealing with a "novel" pandemic. There is also clear guidance from experts who have studying pandemics in detail on the best way to get back on track as soon as possible -- which involves a 60 day stay at home period followed by a staged re-opening.

    Herd immunity failed till now. Only 7.3 % of the population in Stockholm is immune according to the latest tests. Expectations were 60% of the population in Stockholm imune by mid june but that will never be reached.

    Of all the dumb things you have stated, this has got to be the dumbest.

    So by not following social distancing guidelines, it is the same exact thing as shooting your family with a firearm.

    Holy crap, you have jumped the shark.

    Yeah... let's take a look at how many of the "re-open" protest leaders are sick now with COVID-19 and have spread the disease through the state.

    You're right! It's the same as if someone shot them in the head with a gun!

    What a jackass statement.

    Why don't you go to the local hospital with COVID cases and ask the medical staff their opinion about this.

    Why? On the off chance I can find someone at the local hospital who is as much of a moron as you?

    "Excuse me, doctor. Could you tell me - is ignoring social distancing the exact same thing as putting a gun to someone's head and pulling the trigger?"

    How about we do this, gwb. Lets each put 50 grand in an escrow and commission a poll. If more than 50% agree that it is the exact same thing (meaning same death risk, etc) then you win. If not, I win.

    What say you?

    In the current environment hospital workers are more likely to die from COVID-19 than being shot. They view Covidiots including the "re-open" crowd as a threat to society and their lives. If you don't view COVID-19 as such a threat why don't you go volunteer in the hospital they can use some help at the moment.
