Open up the economy NOW!

and schools still are not open, businesses are dying at record paces, while more and more people are recovering from covid than dying from it.

Greater harm is coming from these inconsistent and irresponsible orders.

Freedom above all else.

You might feel differently if someone close to you died of covid-19. Flatten the curve. Wear your mask. Social distance. Wash your hands.

When will the liars behind these guidelines be held accountable for their failures?

We’ve worn masks, murdered businesses, infection/death numbers in Pleasanton are below requirements and our schools still are not open. I’m sorry if you’re not going to return to society what you’ve stripped away when numbers are met, you loose all credibility.

It’s time to move on cautiously.

Vaccines are already here. I lost a personal friend last week. We need to hang on for a while longer until we get herd immunity. This isn't fake.

No one said it’s fake.
Ignoring the side effects that are becoming more pronounced in occurrence than the worst of the infection is akin to ignoring the science of the infection

To all those who thinking feed you faces is more important than saving children, my beautiful son, Curtis, who passed away at age 31, graduate of AVHS says GTH. Shame on all of you!!!!!

Raven, I'm so sorry for your loss. If you would like to share your story about Curtis, please email me at [email protected]

Raven,
Apologies for your loss. Never easy to loose a family member, let alone a don or daughter.
And while it may not be sympathetic, did your son have underlying conditions? Doesn’t make his loss less hurtful, but you can’t scream “listen to science “ and then ignore the data even though the you’re in the minority.

Not saying throw everything out because the majority will be ok, but you can’t ignore it entirely either.

@Pleasanton Parent,

You can't just say well 99% of people won't die from it, so let's just let it spread and to heck with all the overwhelmed hospitals and ICUs and so on.

Vaccines are being distributed now. This isn't forever. Why can't you at least just wear a mask? What is the problem?

BobB,
Nor did I. I said our district and counties and the state are making decisions based on 1 variable, and to ignore the other impacts based on their decisions is equally ignorant as saying covid isn’t harmful.
And based on those other impacts plus our specific situation (ie Pleasanton infection/death/icu/etc) we should be opening things safely, not hiding our heads in the sand waiting.
Vaccines are coming out, but businesses should be allowed to operate safely in parallel. People should still wear masks and kids should be in schools.

Why is it so hard to listen to the science and experts BobB? Why can’t “you” wear a mask at school?

There you go again BobB. Remember WAMWYDSD.

@PP,

I do wear a mask. You were the one asking for me to respect your decision not to wear one. We are the ones following science.

Since this has devolved into a conversation between 2 or 3 people, I am closing this topic.
