Lol. I think only the nutjobs care at this point. It’s like the flu. No big deal. You should be much more concerned about the depression that’s starting because of this insane response we’ve had to endure.
Economic depression or psychological one? Both are matters of concern, but as to the former, it's not possible to avoid economic problems by re-opening without having assurance of being able to stay ahead of demand for medical resources as the pandemic continues.
For instance, China saw that for itself when at first it allowed movie theatres to re-open and promptly saw a surge in cases leading to too high of a new infection rate, and so had to shut them down again.
The Covid-19 is
not like the flu. Scientists have long since debunked that idea and made that information available to mainstream media all over the world.
First there are no vaccines yet, nor herd immunity either.
Second, the incubation period, the time before one feels ill from Covid-19, is longer than for regular flu, and that's IF one ever feels ill from the former. Contagion issues are exacerbated by the fact that lots of Covid-19 infections remain asymptomatic, or could in springlike weather even be mistaken for pollen allergies, so people may not feel sick but are contagious anyway. They end up shedding virus unaware of their own infection. That can lead to hotspots of new cases, trails of them, suddenly arising ten days or a couple weeks after the virus carrier goes wherever he goes, until after his own recovery (or possibly until after the virus merely goes dormant in his body, that's not entirely clear either yet).
Perhaps most worrisome is that physicians and virologists are still collecting data on the exact range of vulnerabilities to this coronavirus, on some of the extreme immune responses experienced in a minority of hospitalized cases, and on some of the apparently not coincidental illnesses similar to Kawasaki disease (toxic inflammatory reactions) popping up in children.
Even the behavior of Covid-19 in severely sickened humans is not like that of common flu viruses. People who die of flu usually die of pneumonia. People dying of coronavirus infection are sometimes dying of stuff like kidney failure or complete internal organ failure, formation and release of blood clots causing strokes, abrupt cardiovascular collapse etc. But people who don't die of Covid-19 are turning up with scarred lungs as a lingering after effect.
It's now thought the USA will see up to 3,000 deaths per day from Covid-19 as summer approaches, even after the lengthy lockdowns some states had imposed that go on until at least the middle of May. This is not the rate nor behavior of common winter flu viruses.
we wont be able to go out till maybe Christmas. Im just gonna sit this one out let the first RED shirts do their thing.. The problem with this stay at home order being lifted is now the states are not responsible to help people that are too sick to go out.Im gonna sit this one out. Working remotely has worked well for me .
