I don't know, but I get annoyed with my step mother. She goes from house to hous

visiting her children and grandchildren, her sister, her mother, and yes even some friends. She doesn't understand that the riske to her, her family and to my dad (who is 75 and has other health issues) increases dramatically when she exhibits this behavior.

When people implore others to “stay home,” are they asking people not to

garyfan

They are virtue signaling

Boanerges

No, we're desperate to get out of this and don't want to drag it out.

ReyOso

Do you believe families going out to recreate in virtual isolation drags it out?

garyfan

4/2/20 1:23pm

It highly depends on the situation.

ReyOso

4/2/20 1:25pm

Th ata kind of what I am suggesting.

If you're passing people every 10 seconds on the trail,

I stopped going. It would've been fine if people had stepped off the trail.

ReyOso

So you're saying that people issuing blanket demands to "stay home" are

garyfan

They would be, if you could eliminate the 20% who are boneheads.

ReyOso

So the stay at home efforts are futile and meaningless?

Are there really people taking the "stay inside" directive literally? There are

Yes, police and 911 calls about people at parks or playing pickleball are high

Then do we need to stop delaying the curve. Seems that would speed it up.

BYUtka

4/2/20 1:25pm

Lowering the curve is the definition of dragging it out.

4/2/20 1:26pm

I think that’s part of it too. 🙂

Boanerges

"Flattening the curve" is the definition of dragging it out.

Backcountry

Staying home drags it out. It just delays the curve.

Why do you want to assume the worst about these people? It's odd.

SandYFan

4/2/20 1:22pm

Just wait. When we start having cases of harassment maybe even violence

Boanerges

4/2/20 1:25pm

Do you think getting mad at someone for speeding is also virtue signalling?

SandYFan

Sometimes

Can be. Depends. 😉

I think it's more like a new catch phrase than anything else.

Get off his back. It's 2020.

Interesting. But it doesn't speak directly to a scenario where a family

No. I would encourage that actually. Get outside!

Aircooled

Agreed

We are trying a system with our next door neighbors

That's a good plan.

When did it go from 3-6 feet to 6-10 feet?

When was it ever 3-6 feet?

He is saying we need the stay at home orders in effect until we have a vaccine.

buhlcougar

4/2/20 1:46pm

It feels like he’s saying that if someone screws up, the whole effort

hansel

4/2/20 2:33pm

I think it's about minimizing the impact, and simply pointing out

Aircooled

4/2/20 3:43pm

A vaccine may be further away than we want to admit

Gigo

Looks like we are hopeful it could be sooner

There is contradictory information in his post, implying this is all for nothing

Exactly. Use common sense to know what's appropriate and what isn't

Exactly how I feel. I wish common sense was more common.

Perhaps he cuts his own, or his significant other does.

I like it better that way.
