It's almost as if they would all go to the beaches on spring break and party in crowds, which could never happen, they are too sensible.
More sensible would have been to close the beaches before that, but there were so many conflicting things coming from all over the place on the risks of this thing. 

Between the WHO tweet (no evidence of human transfer) in late January and Dr. Fauci being on record telling healthy people it was OK to go on cruises in mid-March - and so much in between.. people were confused.

Many still are.

Heh... exactly.

But I do agree that there will be varying degrees of concern, and thus varying timing to when people choose to "go out" again.  Which is one reason I'm not overly concerned about a second massive wave beginning 3 weeks after we "open up."  Even if we opened every single thing tomorrow, including large sporting events, people are going to practice their own versions of social distancing depending on their levels of concern.  That will potentially act as a natural buffer toward rapid disease communication.

For sure, the disease will spread more, after we reopen.  And we actually need it to do so.  We just want it to do so, slowly enough, that it doesn't overwhelm hospitals and ICUs.

J&J says it will have hundreds of millions of vaccines in a year if the stuff is approved as functioning.

Yeah, I think this might be one reason that Sweden, which hasn't closed schools and is not enforcing a "stay at home" as much as here, isn't doing as bad as you might theoretically predict. 

Because sometimes you actually don't need to TELL people to socially distance for them to do it.

Most people I know started "staying away" in early March. Some took longer than others, and then the "stay at home" order came in after the primary election was held. Grrr...

Well, let's be frank...

One doesn't have to assume he supported Hillary because Fauci is a raging leftist Democrat. The simpler explanation is that he was supporting the woman he knew, and who he thought capable, over someone that he didn't know and whose public persona left grave doubt about his temperament for the job. 
perhaps he simply didn't want to commit suicide

In an ideal world, none of us would have any notion of the political views of anyone else here.
in an ideal world, Facebook wouldn't exist

I love Facebook, such a great way to include grandparents and uncles and aunts and cousins and nieces and nephews in our life with pictures and videos!   I also get to keep up with some of my longtime friends that now live all over the world, in a way that's just not possible with phones or texting.

If you're taking Facebook too seriously, or heaven forbid getting your "news" from it, well, that's on you...

JMO of course. :)

it's tough to scroll through FB with all the political crap

someone should start up a FB with zero political tolerance

like this place ;)

I have a FB account but Im not active

Im a lurker

I tune in to all me relations accounts just to see their latest pictures etc but I dont participate in their banter

especially my commie brother who is left leaning prof at Northern Iowa Univ

I love him but we leave politics out of our communication just for sanity sake

My wife and I have both been busy as hell in the last month. We've shuffled some of our furniture around to make our work spaces more defined.

My folks have been retired for a few years, and they're in pretty good shape. My wife has expended a lot of emotional energy getting her folks through the myriad of unemployment insurance in their state.

Has it already been a month since this thing went haywire? Good grief, it feels like 10 years.
You are not kidding!

I was planning on voting for Bernie Sanders until the DNC screwed him over again FYI. But OK.

The term conservative doesn’t mean what you think it does.
It was the meanest thing I could think to say.  :91:

I'm not going back to normal a good 2-4 weeks after most.  It's just frustrating knowing some are chomping at the bit and are thus guaranteeing another bump in cases when they resume normalcy.
