I thought the screen said masks optional in phase 4

Is this for workers or those in public spaces?  BTW, I went to the site he mentioned the guidelines were posted on.  That site is still not available.

Indiana and Ohio are actually pretty similar 

[RaceToTheTop 23,803]

Don't get it.....we are opening faster than Ohio but Ohio announced their plans a week ago. Why not give store owners more time to prepare?  Sure, you can say "if you're not ready, you don't have to open", but if the point is both safety and to lift up the economy, why not give a reasonable amount of time to prepare for a safe opening?

Doesn’t mean I called it essential. 

You're the guy who says going to my cabin in the woods isn't essential and I should stay home.  But the NBA should play?  Pick a lane.

Our retail stores are open a week earlier than theirs.  Restaurants are open for 50% capacity on May 11th in Indiana.  No date set for Ohio.

Can you link where he said they should play?  He said he was surprised that hadn't.  Different thing.

What's the difference.  Many places are ready to go.  It's been pretty clear what would be required and have taken steps to get it done.  When they are ready, they can open.

And then gave his advice for opening.  Why give advice for opening if you don't think they should play?

Governor Holcomb's plan sounds very reasonable and data driven to me. Glad to see a plan to move forward and get to a "new normal."

The difference is I care about the places being able to open in the safest possible way open.

It will be interesting to see (A) how many companies actually decide to risk it and open back up and (B) how many customers will actually go back out and go to a store or a restaurant.

You said Indiana's death rate was almost double of Ohio's.  They are actually pretty similar.

It's called a hypothetical.

100% not true.  The number of deaths are similar, the rates are not.  Indiana is at 177 deaths per one million;  Ohio is 86 deaths per one million.  Ohio's population is nearly twice Indiana's yet the number of deaths are fewer.

Confirmed cases vs deaths is absolutely about the same 

[RaceToTheTop 23,803]

I'm still trying to see the state's advice on masks.  I know the doctor was asked about the use of masks, but she just told what masks protect against.  I'm interested in what the regulations are going to be for employees and customers.

Do you know what death RATE means?

[jk34 1,105]

Dude listen,  you can sit at home and let your immune system weaken.  But we don't need you constantly lecturing people on here how to live their lives.
