We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

The unseen cost of lockdowns
The effort to shield elderly, frail and disabled residents from the coronavirus has created another wrenching health crisis: The confinement meant to protect the most vulnerable is also threatening their lives.

“The isolation is robbing them of whatever good days they have left — it accelerates the aging process,” Joshua Uy, associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, said.
One recent study of a Chicago-area nursing home found that from December 2019 to the end of April 2020, two-thirds of the residents had lost weight, in some cases dramatically — a change that researchers attributed to reduced social interaction, the cessation of family visits and schedule changes due to the pandemic.

Confinement, social isolation and the lack of external stimulation are also fueling cognitive decline and depression, which in turn increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke, according to Dr. Louise Aronson, a geriatrician and professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.

“Sometimes the doors to their rooms are open, and you just see someone sitting in a chair with tears running down their face,” Aronson, who is assisting San Francisco’s response to the pandemic in long-term care facilities, said.

I'm sorry.

I'm on information overload on this and trying to figure out how to deal with it myself.

It's a shitty time.

They lockdown LTC facilities every year during influenza outbreaks, I understand the duration isn't as long and measures not at severe mostly due to the flu shot, but it isn't a new concept.

It sucks for everyone. It’s a shitty situation where there aren’t good solutions, just trade offs and less bad ones

It may not have been the best analogy but there's a hint of truth.

Germany is going back under lock down

Why it matters: Germany is the latest European country to reimpose some form of lockdown measures amid a surge in cases across the continent.

Shops will be allowed to remain open so long as they follow social-distancing orders.

Movie theaters, concert halls and sports centers will be closed.

Germany currently has over 472,000 coronavirus cases, per Johns Hopkins University. It has seen almost 10,200 deaths.

Hopefully we’re farther along

We're "2 weeks behind Europe" according to the "experts".

No it is the opposite. We are behind Europe and it sounds like France is going on a lockdown albeit less strict than the original one.

“We’re about maybe three weeks behind Europe. Maybe a month at the most, so we’re on a trajectory to look a lot like Europe as we enter the month of November, so I think things are going to get worse,” Gottlieb said on “Squawk Box.”
