And those rates aren't factoring in health. A healthy person faces significantly less risk than those numbers
Are people under 50 not living life? Other than a mask here and there, my under 50 family has been back to engaging in activity that is as normal as possible considering the situation all summer. Vacations, kids in sports and school, etc. If healthy young(ish) folks aren't living life it's likely a personal choice but from my small window to the world life is moving along.
Ask our girls soccer team or UH football team.
Many are, yes. But for instance my daughter at TAMU is all virtual, no sports pass (can't really pull tix as a sophomore). Medical device/healthcare business is not back to normal at all.JesusQuintana said:

Good point tho.
Ok I guess I meant in general. My daughter started soccer this week with 1st game on Saturday and other daughter started dance (middle school dance team) when school started in august. Yes, there are some outlier examples like UH but the sec starts this weekend, mlb, nfl and nba all playing. For the most part, things have been getting back to normal...pat green played at the venue near my house this past weekend.
Except for all the people that are going out of business still, in record numbers thanks to the shutdowns in Texas. Yes its back to normal.JesusQuintana said:

That's a serious question? Crude has a 30 handle on it.....energy and related chains losing money, laying off thousands in Houston alone. Bankruptcies in Travel and Leisure at all time highs......commercial real estate next. Retail getting decimated, especially bars and restaurant. Where do you live that you don't see this?JesusQuintana said:

Dripping springs, TX. My point is that folks under 50 like myself should be living life thus assisting in economic recovery. We don't need to barricade in our houses waiting for some magical report or green light telling us it's ok to live. Take a road trip, vacation and go get some food at ur local restaurant.
Many of us are living as much as we can, but government isn't allowing a lot of what we'd like. Add in the business struggles that will affect us all long term.

My 7yr old daughter started soccer a few weeks ago. The oldest daughter of our coach had a friend test positive so now he and his family are in quarantine for 14 days and will miss 3 games. Not really normal.
Ok, perhaps i should have said as normal as possible considering the situation. When I stated normal, i did not mean life as it was in 2019 because that's not going to happen. I meant as normal as possible considering there is a novel virus affecting certain parts of our population. Once again, my point was that many folks under 50 that have no additional high risk conditions can live a life that resembles normalcy with a few outlying situations. Many (not all) folks can get back to "living life"...they don't need to be sitting in quarantine any longer. In my community, folks carry on in a somewhat normal fashion as described in a previous post however i understand that not all situations and locations are the same. Perhaps I am wrong and most of the country just can't get back to "living life" however as far as I can tell, those not at risk have resumed living/producing in my community. I hope this clears up any confusion but if it doesn't, oh well. I am going to keep on living as best i can.duck79 said:JesusQuintana said:

As long we we're being forced to wear muzzles we aren't back to normal.JesusQuintana said:

We need to open everything and get back to normal, have the elderly and sick take extra measures for the time being, and allow the vast majority of us to get this out of the way and build herd immunity. Much like we should have been doing since March.

man yall are really taking Jesus' post out of context.....I think his point was that snce summertime his family has been living life as normal as they can, and they aren't wrapped up in the "cant leave your house or you will die" crowd. His point was the numbers prove it also that the chance of getting this virus and dying is stupid low.

What about a tailgate and packed stands for a full season of Aggie football? Is that "normal" happening or not?
Read my other post 3 above this.

No we under 50 cannot live a normal life due to government restrictions. Some examples:JesusQuintana said:

I still cannot see any potential COVID pediatric patients (20-30% decrease in visit volume & pay).
Medical Students are not allowed to see any potential COVID patients-- essentially anyone that is sick.
No concerts.
No tailgating.
Limited football attendance.
Bars are not allowed to open unless they have a food truck that I guess magically blocks viral infection.

I think many of us are living as normal as we can, we just want more. I've golfed throughout this. I go to the local bar about 3x/week like always (and they'll break food rules for us regulars, although I usually eat anyway). I'll continue to get with friends who choose to socialize. I held my FF draft at my house with no changes. But, we're also frustrated we can't do more. My kids come in contact with about 200 kids/week yet can't play games against other teams. They can go to school for "after school" program, yet can't yet for classes (start 10/12) and even then it's half days. One of our baseball coaches got our team a warning because his mask was down and not one person was w/in 30 feet of him in 90+ degree weather (he was playing right field in a scrimmage).
Remember when the justification for upending lives was to keep the hospitals from being overwhelmed?

Depends on where you live.
With those survival numbers why are we testing and why any tracing?
Looks like people under 70 should be able to get on with their lives.

I cant convince my healthy 41 year old wife to get on a flight so we can take a vacation. Neither of us have any health issues and don't live with anyone with health issues. No amount of data will convince her that she is not at risk of dying.

Do you own a vehicle? If so, toss her in and hit the road. Road trips are fun
I'm with Jesus. I've been living my life as close to normal as possible for several months. I don't understand all the people constantly beeching and saying "Open it Up." Besides bars, what are ya'll missing? Sure, everything isn't the same as before Covid, but there's really no excuse for anyone to be sitting around at home griping that nothing is open. I've been back at work since May. Did several road trips this summer. Have flown for work trips multiple times. My kids both played sports this summer. Both are back in school. School sports have started. College and pro sports have started. Instead of sitting around beeching all summer, my family made the best of it. We all agree that it was one of our better summers. We spent a lot of time outdoors. Did a lot of weekend day trips. And spent a lot of time with each other. Probably the most time we've all spent together ever. And I'm thankful for it.

1. All schools in person
2. 100% Aggie Football capacity
3. On campus tailgating
Just off the top of my head.
Get rid of the stupid mask mandates and open it all up. Period. I said back in March this was a massive overreaction and the data now bears that out.

Or maybe the masks and social distancing work. Period.
The goal was to slow the rate of transmission so that the virus could morph into something less deadly and doctors could learn how to treat effectively. It is working. If we had not shut it down, we would be at huge numbers of dead.
Thought the goal was to not overrun the hospitals?

How can mask effectiveness (one way or another) be determined from that chart?
