Post-Corona, Preparing for Normalcy

[vic120]

This shut down has convinced me of one thing: Retirement is waiting to die. I now understand why life insurance agents like Mehdi Fakharzadeh who do not retire live long lives. He was still selling 'til the day his life was cut short at the age of 97.

If I don't knock a door soon ...

And for anyone who thinks folks won't relax and return to normal human interaction when this is over ...

I have faith that human nature will not be so easily defeated.​

I think Some will like it never happened and some won't for a very long time

My mother in law watches CNN and MSN all day won't go out in the back yard without a jacket in near 80-degree weather and she has totally gripped with fear She wont freely leave the house for a very long time

Explain to me why it makes sense to allow people to walk and play on the beach but they aren't allowed to sit in a chair or sunbathe ???????????

Not saying its better or worse

Just saying think it spreads the same with or without, I think it's airborne There have been cases, Where person got infected when they never left the house, There has been a case where someone in the remote village got it they don't know how

Think it's going to spread no matter what happens

Yes. It will absolutely spread regardless of social distancing measures. However, it doesn't spread nearly as fast. Also, we're talking about South Dakota. They're state is set up for social distancing by nature.

The point, is not to overwhelm health services so they can manage patients.

That's why I don't watch any news networks. They're all sensationalist, on one end or the other of the spectrum.

There are some good journalists on all the networks, but they're the exceptions... Not the rule..

You really don't need more than your local channel and a brief overview of national stories... So no more than an hour?

Otherwise, you get gripped into bs and fear.

Yes, their time is coming. We're smack in the middle of our time here in Texas, but Cali seems to be on the back end now, right? In the article I posted above, the professor indicates that the studies show the same impact whether a country (or in this case a state) shuts down or not. What do you think about that?

I'm convinced (and could certainly be wrong) that the east coast and west coast had two separate strains.

It is certainly harder to socially distance in the NE (public transportation is likely the biggest culprit there) but Washington was one of the first states to report and never got super bad despite a few large cities.

I think we'll start getting back to business soon, but I don't think we should rush. IF people could have been trusted to properly social distance and follow guidelines (hygiene, masks, etc.) AND had mass testing (South Korea) then maybe a complete shutdown could have been avoided.

But, a lot of people are morons; they have parties, go out to crowded venues, and do other activities that put everyone at risk.

Because of that, I think that our shutdown was the only option. I hope we get back to some kind of normal soon.

These are one model's current estimates/guidelines:

UW coronavirus model says Washington state can start safely reopening the week of May 18

Because you have to keep moving, rouse, or the clowns will eat you.

He's alt Left and Right at the same time and does not reflect the values of the Clown Party.

Hey guys, I can deal with the talk of the pandemic and the fatalities. I can deal with the talk of all the different ways to die and the statistics around them. I'm fine with all that. But please stop with the clown photos and gifs, those terrify me.
