Well, even stupid friends sometimes learn enough to become somewhat smarter, when the alternative is the possibility of infection by something highly contagious - such as this global pandemic - that could possibly kill you.

A large number of people (regardless of age) breaking out of "shelter in place" protocol will likely result in an extension of the policy.

Choose wisely.

^This^. I am not sure what game the OP is playing but a large number of people is always a target for a crazies with a (biological?) terror attack plan. The timing for this could not have been more perfect. Should this occur the "extension of the policy" will quickly turn into a full blown lock down where nobody will be making jokes.

NYC( where you live) looks to be starting to hit its peak which is showing the success in flattening the curve with the social distancing and stay at home orders and getting the country past this pandemic quickly, and you want to blow that progress because you can't stand not being able to go out and party?

Bah.... Now I fed into this thread instead of letting it die. :(

i don't think NYC is anywhere near peaking. The curve is almost still linear when plotted on a log scale.

This is going to be bad, and by that i mean worse than what trump means when he says "bad, real bad".

Well, there's no point in going out now because it's not going to be much longer until we can.

The curve is flattening from what I've heard.

You really need to either change the media you are getting your info from.

We're openly talking about 3-6 months of restrictions here in Australia, and we have less than 10% of the cases you have in New York alone, in an area approximately the size of the entire USA, for 20m people total with much more prepared medical care.

You guys in NY are screwed. Properly.

The only way social distancing and quarantine is going to end in NY (and probably elsewhere in the USA if trump doesn't start acting with conviction) any time soon (i.e., less than 6 months) is if the authorities properly give up and fall back to hoping for herd immunity via uncontrolled spread (essentially survival of the fittest without a functioning medical system - mostly all the old people die).

Today’s even more positive as per Dr. fauci. Seems like we’ll be going back to the new normal soon.

I’m genuinely excited about hopefully opening the economy back up and to hangout with friends and my girl again!!!

Now all I need to get is a designer mask haha

Am I the only one who thinks Dr. Fauci is great?

I feel like he speaks the truth whether good or bad.

If he says things are looking better, I trust that.

I haven’t felt more optimistic in days...

You mean the guy who said this, about 5 hours ago?

“So, we need to keep pushing on the mitigation strategies because there is no doubt that that is having a positive impact on the dynamics of the outbreak,” he said. “Now is not the time to pull back at all. It’s the time to intensify.”

original post deleted because I’m reconsidering going out. Was planning on seeing a girl at her apartment.

EDIT: Based on people’s opinions, I’ll reconsider going out.

I’ve decided to break the quarantine and go out this week. The reason why is bc I know I don’t have it bc I’ve been in quarantine. The girl I’m going to see also said she doesn’t have it.

At this point, if you know you don’t have it and the other person doesn’t either, you’re just cheating yourself.

I think it’ll be just fine.

If I said what I really thought about you I would be banned again, but probably permanently rather than just a couple of days. But...I hope you’re arrested. (I’m assuming this comment doesn’t offend the mods too much??!!)

Umm walking .5 mi to Starbucks for a coffee, then going upstairs to her condo which is right above it...nothing wrong with that

The blatant disregard for human life shown in this thread by the OP is appalling. Surely, killing a few old people that served to benefit their community is worth going to a "condo" for "wine". Nonsense.

How would old people get it if I don’t have corona, the person I hangout with doesn’t have corona, and I don’t hangout with old people?

They won’t.

Your lack of understanding is concerning, to say the least. Who's to say you won't pick it up on the door handle or from your cup that was probably handled by someone else, then you spread it to the condo's surfaces? Just because you are not infected does not mean that you are not a risk.

I get that, but if you wash your hands and don’t touch your face, how would you get it from a door handle?

I’m not going to lick the door handle believe me

Nor am I going to lick the cup
