Obviously, it could be seasonal.  Some claimed way back that the summer would dampen it, which did not seem to happen (or if it did, we're in trouble).

Being indoors more often and with dried out sinuses can make us more susceptible obviously, so there is that.

bars, restaurants pretty full in Lincoln this past weekend.  The young people certainly not worried and out.

most people sitting outside when available.  Actually closer together outside than inside

Hotel wasn't empty.  Folks were waiting for an empty elevator as apposed to all piling in together

Lincoln has a mask ordinance.  Masks used for a few minutes inside until folks sit down, seems rather silly

You'd have to ask IHME. I'm just the messenger.




IHME? The site that forecast a quintillion deaths?

Go out to eat.

I suggest citizens not intimidate citizens doing their job with firearms.

I would agree with that. One thing I wonder about is how the state informed people it was going to be doing these random visits. Was it advertised?

Does anyone know how Sweden is doing?
Interesting read here.


https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/some-countries-are-eying-sweden-s-light-touch-covid-response-it-s-a-gamble-that-could-backfire/ar-BB19us3x?ocid=msedgntp

Big takeaway:


And as Swedes are generally trusting of authorities, people there largely followed government guidelines and social behavior has changed voluntarily.

According to Swedish government data, more than 80% of Swedes have been social distancing, are avoiding shaking hands and are washing their hands more often and thoroughly. Sixty percent of people have reduced their activities outside the home and are avoiding crowded places.

No, that forecast was by some Brit outfit that revised it soon after.

IHME is UDubb.

No.  I think their early figure was 240,000.  That moved down, and then up, a lot.

IHME has been reasonably accurate considering.

the early projection numbers were for huge numbers of fatalities, far greater than what we've experienced, and were still being cited early this summer.    Minn Gov kept touting the projection of 59,000 expected deaths in Minnesota if they did nothing, and 29,000 under current distancing conditions.

So, what would you suggest?
For openers, remind residents not to respond to government workers doing their jobs with guns and racial slurs.

But this is only the symptom of a much bigger problem. Badge, I wish I knew the answer. There are large swatches of this state that are asking the same question, and are trying to come up with the same answer. Unfortunately, this beast has been 40+ years in the making. It can't be unwound overnight. My little role in the solution is to ensure that everyone actually gets to the table so that they their voices are heard. 

Apparently prior to the Eitzen incident, the Houston County Sherriff's Office (local law enforcement) had been trying to get the word out that canvassers were working in the area. Unfortunately, having worked in that part of the world quite a bit, what gets out in press releases and radio interviews frequently doesn't mesh with what's in resident's minds. 

Threatening government employees doing their work with guns is bad judgement at best and aggravated assault at worst. Fortunately I have never been drawn on while working, but some of my co-workers have. The State Patrol really doesn't like it when the general public threatens MnDOT employees in their line of work.
