US Position - Florida1 Jul 2020 07:56
I'm personally mindful of my own social distancing and currently limit contact with others as best I can as I come into contact with elderly / sick people in their own homes - I would not be comfortable with accidentally infecting someone and having someone's death on my hands, no matter how remote this may be....that said...
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, I think has the right idea here from my perspective - Let the infections go up - Let the deaths go down - Protect those at risk....He has stuck his neck out and going for gold. The right decision, and of the same opinion that a lot of people I have spoke to has.
[i]"We're not going back, closing things. I don't think that that's really what's driving it, people going to a business is not what's driving it," DeSantis said. "I think when you see the younger folks, I think a lot of it is more just social interactions, so that's natural."
"We're open, we know who we need to protect, most of the folks in those younger demographics, although we want them to be mindful of what's going on, are just simply much much less at risk than the folks who are in those older age groups."[i/]
Statistics can be worrying to the general population but especially the people in 'control', this includes politicians and Investors, it's their job to get it right, which they never will. Someone will always complain about a consequence of a decision no matter how unintended, everyone is their own the best decision maker, most couch-potato politicians are only thinking of themselves and what would benefit them. There's never a true in-depth analysis of fallout by the couch-potato, they've better things to watch on telly.
As long as the stats are captured accurately. "Maths Don't Lie".
So I think this is now further 3 week US based social experiment with slightly differing tactics and decisions now defining future approaches to public gatherings; and more importantly, the opening of cinema theatres and how comfortable people; and the businesses involved are, with them not being perceived as a new epicentre of another round of infections and death - this would be very very bad news. I think we'll see another slight dip/wobble in the SP from 60's to 50's in the short term in response to the still hanging question of further movie release date changes coupled with fear of someone making a mistake and the bad press it will bring. I still believe the 55-58 plateau being the launch pad for the rest of the year. A substantial rise in deaths would cause me great concern - I'd probably go invest in toasters instead at that point.
Simply my opinion, no crystal balls were harmed during this post, do your own research y'all..... *mic drop*
