Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Grrrr, name-calling!  

El Paso is exporting dead bodies.  Not in Ohio, but it would be the 2nd-largest city there, behind Columbus.  You talk about economics, but seem to think the anecdotal evidence in your personal sight-line is all the data you need.  

Call me some more names and look silly.  Meanwhile, 1,400 more people are going to die tomorrow (OR WILL THEY?!?).

I expect partial closures of certain things in a lot of states here now.

Dr. Fauci also thinks it will be over by mid-2021. It freakin' better be.

It's going to be a challenge to define when it is over.  While the vaccine will hopefully give short term immunity and help limit symptoms, the actual virus isn't going away and will probably be around forever.  Going to need some leadership on telling people what to expect.

I don't think it will be around forever. Once the vaccine is in place and gains a strong hold, this thing could be eradicated.

Much depends on the rest of the world here. We need to share whatever we come up with.

We know of many coronaviruses that return year after year.  We know of many influenza viruses that return year after year.  I see no reason to think this will ever be eradicated.

I certainly hope it can be, but as I've been told over and over on this thread, hope is not a strategy.

And neither is asking humans to isolate from one another for a year or more.

Time to start being practical and realistic about how to handle this.  Time to start using our vast array of technological resources to our advantage.  Time to start using our tremendous knowledge of process improvement to our advantage.  Time to stop telling people they're not allowed to live their lives, and instead create ways to enable people to live their lives.
