Plan by eight Senate Republicans is a bit on the ghoulish side
Wednesday, Apr 15, 2020 - Posted by Rich Miller * From an open letter to Gov. JB Pritzker from Republican state Senators Paul Schimpf, Donald DeWitte, Jim Oberweis, Craig Wilcox, Jason Plummer, Chuck Weaver, Sue Rezin and Dan McConchie…
A subscriber read that and texted me this…
He wrote some other stuff, but I’ll just leave it at that. …Adding… Just to be clear here, we’ve been going over this topic for days and days. But let’s just focus on stuff I’ve posted today. 1) The downward curve doesn’t look like the upward curve. Instead, it looks more like a plateau: The decline may not be as fast as the rise 2) Because of (1) we are still essentially at the peak. Forcing the curve downward could take more measures than we currently have in place, like a mask requirement, for instance: Slowing the upward curve is just not enough 3) Calling for even a partial reopening of the economy while new cases are still rising as fast or faster every day with no end in sight is simply irresponsible: SGOP plan is a bit on the ghoulish side 4) Here’s the graph that matters most….  Those new case numbers need to start going down and stay going down for a period of time before anything can and should be done about lifting the stay at home order. …Adding… 5) Businesses may want to reopen, but, as we discussed yesterday, economies shut down because of the virus. People essentially voted with their feet: “The fundamental problem with the economy right now is the pandemic” not the stay at home orders

SGOP should form a panel.
Where they decide on the acceptable number of death.
They could even come up with a short and descriptive name for such a panel.
- Demoralized - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 4:06 pm:
Sooooo . . . as long as we have a place to put the sick people . . . yeah, no nice words to say about what they are suggesting
- Perrid - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 4:06 pm:
The letter assumes that everyone is going to get the virus anyway, therefore everyone who is going to be in the ICU is going to be in the ICU no matter what, so we might as well not keep the shut down in place.
That’s a pretty big assumption, and I question the merits of “Obviously we will fail so why bother trying?” as policy

“How do you advocate…” Look, that person isn’t off base, however, it’s gonna happen whenever you start easing stay at home orders unless there’s a proven, 100% effective treatment. It obvious we all will have to do serious adulting. But it’s also beyond obvious that business need to re-open on some scale and we, as a society, need to begin to start our new normal. There’s no “easy” solution.

They are suggesting the equivalent of letting people back in a burning house while the fire is still raging as long as we can treat the smoke inhilation and burns later.

That was the FIRST STEP. Pay attention.
- Shytown - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 4:16 pm:
Have they gone and lost their minds? Yeah let’s push people back outside knowing more people will get sick because there will be more ICU beds for them to die with a ventilator down their throats. Sorry but that’s the truth.

- Perrid - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 4:17 pm:
“Wasnt this exactly the rationale behind flattening the curve?”
Avoiding the worst case scenario and actively advocating for a still pretty bad scenario are NOT synonymous. Wanting as few as possible people to get sick and die, and wanting “just enough” people to get sick and die that it doesn’t impact you, again are not synonymous
- Hamlet's Ghost - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 4:18 pm:
I don’t think the IHA can reliably predict sufficient capacity without testing and tracing:
“as soon as the Illinois Hospital Association projects that ICU bed capacity is sufficient to respond to the projected levels of COVID-19 admissions”
Yes, the IHA deserves a seat at the table and this is one factor (among many) but why delegate decision making authority to that particular organization?
And what should the consequences be for IHA if their prediction is wrong?
- Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 4:19 pm:
=== you can’t crack down on me and leave the first 2 comments stand.===
Start your own blog, let Rich run his.
To the post,
I’ve commented twice about this letter today, I’ll only add this;
It’s truly a poorly written letter dedicated to the idea that life isn’t as important as lives going about and working, no matter the consequences, and I say that because if the idea is outside the scientific knowledge and the scientific rationale to open, you are merely giving enough lip service to the science so the harsh wavy they want “seems” reasonable.
It’s a disappointing bit of drivel.
I’m glad the signers names are unmistakably attached.
- Hamlet's Ghost - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 4:21 pm:
Thinking about this a little bit more, if I were associated with the Illinois Hospital Association I’d be rather angry at those signing that letter which says, in essence:
“You want ME to decide when it’s safe to re-open, while giving YOU political cover, seriously?”
- Candy Dogood - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 4:23 pm:
Clearly none of these folks have experienced having a close family member or loved one lay dying in a hospital ICU room they are unable to visit because of they highly contagious illness that is killing them.
- TominChicago - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 4:25 pm:
You cannot suspend social distancing and the stay at home orders until testing is widely available. Only then can there be a semblance of normalcy.

- ChicagoVinny - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 4:29 pm:
The GOP keeps mistaking the cause of the economic downturn. The economy has not cratered because of the lockdown, it has cratered because of the global pandemic. You could lift the lockdown tomorrow and you’re not going to bounce back to previous economic levels - you can’t force people to go out of their homes, and you can’t force them to go out to restaurants or stores if they are afraid of catching Covid-19.
If you want to fix the economy, you need to solve the public health crisis.
- Say What? - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 4:29 pm:
This is a minority of the SGOP super-minority. Let that wash over you. You have to get up pretty early in the morning to be more irrelevant than this group
Some pretty conservative SGOP members from some extraordinarily rural areas did NOT sign this poorly thought out diatribe. Again, let that wash over you.
There should be no pride in authorship here. Small minds, uninformed ideas, and short-sightedness literally get citizens killed.
Adults only in the decision making room.
- Mike - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 4:32 pm:
I am confused — it seems to me that the only end game here involves herd immunity from 60-70% of the population becoming infected and recovering. Yes, maybe there will be treatments. Maybe there will be vaccines. But are you planning on waiting indefinitely? Yes, a few months of stay at home is manageable. Maybe a year. What about 2 years? 10 years (which is how long it took for the ebola vaccine)?
I think people need to get used to the fact that most people will get it at some point and so long as the hospitals have capacity, we need to ensure that the rate of new cases matches that capacity.

Who has ever said that?
It has been one month - one - since this lockdown started. And I’m sure it’s been a long, long month for those who don’t have jobs. Saying we aren’t ready yet is not the equivalent of saying that it’s going to be indefinite.
- Yellow Dog Democrat - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 4:39 pm:
It’s a Death Panel.
The most recent study found 2/3 of patients that ended up in ICU’s on ventilators died.
That’s like playing Russian roulette with four bullets in the cylinder.

Yeah.

Winning the first battle doesn’t mean the war is over.
To continue the analogy, it would have seemed totally ridiculous to say during World War II: “Well, now that the troops have taken Normandy, let’s bring them all back home so we can get back to normal. You can’t expect the soldiers to march all the way to Germany or the population to sacrifice that long, that could take over a year.”

Why don’t these Republican letter writers put together their own projections/dates on when it is OK to return to any level of normal? It is easy to use another group like AHA or the Governor as cover or excuse. Of course if they are wrong with their projections/dates per chance they should take personal responsibilities for any costs and care that might develop. Otherwise they are just talkin’ to make noise.

Demoralized, case counts in IL seem stable and there seems to be capacity based on reported bed/icu utilization. What are we waiting for? I can understand more PPE. And more testing so that we have a sense of whether new cases are becoming unmanageable.
But not relaxing restrictions because of the belief that somehow staying at home will in the long run protect people doesn’t make sense to me so long as there are enough hospital beds to go around.

I don’t really have any other nice words to say.

Read that aloud. Read it 5 times, aloud
After that if you don’t think you find the ridiculous… wow.
“But not relaxing restrictions because of the belief that somehow staying at home will in the long run protect people doesn’t make sense to me.”
Hospital beds or not… there is no logic in anything here.

Well, staying at home also puts people in intensive care, just 1000 cases a day in a lockdown that lasts 34 years based on IL’s population.

Maybe let’s clear up how far your thought process goes. Are you suggesting we go all the way back to what used to be “normal?”
- JB13 - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 5:01 pm:
Anyone who talks about “sacrifice” should be willing to identify what, exactly, they are sacrificing *themselves* - other than other people’s jobs, other people’s businesses, other people’s futures.
- ZC - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 5:01 pm:
What worries me is the most plausible path forward, has so little public support in our American tradition.
Without a vaccine, it’s not the testing, it’s the -tracing- part that worries me, we’re still in denial about how much more we need. I mean, if our cell phones could basically tell us, “You came within 5 feet today or someone who tested positive for Covid, take a test,” and you could speedily take a test, we could go back to something approaching normality, with still some social distancing.
But nobody seems to be talking about the tracing part. A team of dogged detectives following diagnoses of this thing, even if we do get over this particular bump, don’t seem to me to be fast enough to keep it from breaking out again.
- Demoralized - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 5:04 pm:
==what, exactly, they are sacrificing *themselves*==
Two adults and a child moved into my house because of their job situation and I am now partially supporting them.
Nobody is taking any of this lightly. Some of us just refuse - at least right now - to say we should just go back to normal yet.
- Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 5:04 pm:
=== other than other people’s jobs, other people’s businesses, other people’s futures.===
I’m not sacrificing myself or anyone for… people’s jobs, other people’s businesses, other people’s futures.
You can’t be… I can’t be “un-dead”
No job, no business, is worth a life over the science to save lives.
- Mike - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 5:07 pm:
Of course not. I’m suggesting we work to match the number of new cases to available hospital capacity. If new case counts start to exceed capacity, we add restrictions. If new case counts are below capacity, we relax restrictions until they match.
For the past 2 weeks, IL cases have been stable at 1300 +/- 250. Once PPE & testing is in place, seems like that could stand to grow a bit.
This puts us on a plan to return to “normal” as quickly as possible. The alternative is keep the current restrictions in place indefinitely and cross our fingers and wait for a vaccine.
- Original Rambler - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 5:12 pm:

Probably so. But I want the risks lowered. Also, you’re free to go out and get a job at a hospital right now. Maybe cleaning up after doctors or something. Let us know how that goes.
- Moe Berg - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 5:54 pm:
Seconding what Rich just said on go get a hospital job.
And, would recommend that to the senators, too. Take three volunteer shifts a week helping out those who are cleaning up on the Covid ICU wards.
It is a grotesque idea that we’ll just keep sending loads of Covid patients to hospitals as if a significant number of doctors, nurses and other hospital workers aren’t getting sick, some dying, from repeated exposure to the virus. And, as if we don’t have other health care needs in society that we need medical personnel to be able to treat. We can make more N95 masks relatively easily, not so much docs and nurses.
And, you’re going to lay off the responsibility for making the call on the IHA? Well, that’s on-brand. As your leader said, “I don’t take responsibility at all.”

Mike, read YDD’s comment. We need to keep as many people as possible from being exposed at all, not just bend the curve. The reason is that 2/3 of people who go on ventilators don’t survive. So, more people will die if there are not enough vents, but too many die anyway. Being cautious until there is a vaccine is essential.
BTW, the Washington model once had our peak at April 12 with a plateau of about a week afterward, with deaths dropping to near zero by May. Not looking too bad right now.
- Downstate Illinois - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 7:49 pm:
Being cautious until we get a vaccine is crazy. Our economy can’t last a year like this. This virus is the equivalent of the flu in a bad year. We don’t destroy millions of jobs due to the flu. We’re closed because of the actions by 45 of the 50 state governors who followed the experts and their models who have since been proved to be wrong. They are the ones who decided that social distancing was not enough and used their emergency powers to curtail our self evident liberties.

Go ahead. Throw caution to the wind. But I won’t be joining you along with a lot of others that want to be here in a year. I’d like to think that a lot of us are still here because we followed the experts models. That was the goal after all.
The thing is you don’t get to arbitrarily decide when I return to normal. And your economy won’t return without me. Get me the three Ts and I could be persuaded.
- MyTwoCents - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 8:52 pm:
We are nowhere near the end of this pandemic so it’s incredibly misguided to compare the death toll to a bad flu season. That being said, at some point COVID could be analogous to the flu. We have flu vaccines and treatments and yet year after year tens of thousands of people still die from the flu, which society has accepted as normal. Hopefully scientists are able to find effective treatments and/or a vaccine to deal with COVID but I could see a future where it only mitigates COVID to a certain extent and there’s still cases that pop up from time to time.
- Last Bull Moose - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 9:03 pm:
Until there is a vaccine, this 4 person family unit will stay in quarantine. For us the official lock down has little effect.
Nursing homes may have to change their practices. Maybe have staff come in for 3 days staying on site and then leaving. Everybody goes through a sanitary entrance like an airlock.
Right now we are buying time. I fear that the testing, contact tracing, and treatment that everyone wants will stay out of reach for months.
- The Snowman - Wednesday, Apr 15, 20 @ 9:24 pm:
There still is no vaccine for countless diseases. At some point, we need to start living our lives again, but we can continue to be careful. Government cannot eliminate risk for people, it’s not their role. A reasonable plan to ease our current situation needs to be implemented, perhaps starting May 1st. Considering the number of people who probably have had Covid19, but undiagnosed, the death rate is well below 1%.

What did Prizker say when he closed schools and we started this? He said we can’t stop the spread, but we can flatten the curve and slow the spread. The whole point is to reduce the speed of the spread to keep it under what the hospitals can handle. Isn’t that what they’re advocating here?

Of course. But you also take prudent steps to reduce the risk. You limit alcohol consumption, have rules of the road and seatbelts, take swimming lessons and have a life guard. This is no different. The 8 Republicans want a plan (Pritzker has one) and they don’t seem to have any alternative plan. I suppose it’s implicit that we simply ignore that requirement and flip a switch. But that’s not going to work here. It’s time to get serious in finding a way out of this.
- Burgee - Thursday, Apr 16, 20 @ 7:51 am:
For those that want to remove or relieve the restrictions, where are your plans for how and when that will occur and the statistics for what the resulting consequences might be? For all the politicians, supported by more of the public than not, the plan has been stated, based on scientific numbers and until a new plan can be developed to prompt change, it will stay the same.
If you want to live the restrictions, tell me how you would go about that, the number of us that would “unfortunately” be collateral damage as a result, the number that will fall ill, the number of businesses that still wouldn’t be able to open or what restrictions they would have to open under, and then maybe I’ll at least read your ridiculous posts.
If you could, which you can’t, say that we are on a trajectory that if we opened businesses tomorrow, we would have few illnesses and fewer deaths that the projections under the current orders, I’ll listen. Show me the plan and the data to support it.
