We're going to have to learn how to operate much differently than before the pandemic. I expect many businesses will choose to keep the minimal-interaction model, and others will keep certain restrictions on their customers for safety. I don't expect any college sports for the rest of the year, and pro sports, if they try to resume, will do so with empty arenas/stadiums. Even when local/state governments lift restrictions, many shows/gatherings/events will still be canceled out of fear or sparse attendance. Until there is a widely-available vaccine, the virus makes society's rules. Society will not adapt. You're fooling yourself if you think there won't be riots, suicides, addiction, alcoholism, looting, crime, and malicious noncompliance. Hell, people don't even try to stay 6 feet away at the supermarket ffs, there's no way that this is sustainable long term, at least not in it's current form. . Society literally has no choice. As the infected numbers and death toll keeps rising, even the most bullheaded protestors are either going to contract the virus or have someone whom they love get it. The only difference between COVID and some other form of natural disaster is that only its effects can be seen. We're still in the middle of this disaster, and no amount of denial will change that.

Your take that it will require contraction of the virus to change certain minds only works if they experience the most severe effects of CoVid firsthand. Pushing thru minor symptoms may very well strengthen their opinions that this is all hype.

I’ve been wanting to go for a teeth cleaning at the dentist but am not sure if this is a bad time to be doing that. hopefully this doesn’t last too much longer.

Pushing thru minor symptoms may very well strengthen their opinions that this is all hype. It's going to be impossible for people to do that as time goes on. We had a pastor here in Virginia who kept holding public services in defiance of the SAH order. Then he contracted COVID and died. As time goes on, every social circle will include someone who got very ill or died due to the virus. People who are ignoring precautions are learning hard, sometimes lethal, lessons in biology. Of course we'll have to establish some type of economic plan going forward, but simply "re-opening" isn't going to happen. China has been dealing with COVID for nearly 6 months, and anyone in the US who thinks that we can resume life as normal after a few weeks simply isn't plugged into reality.

I don’t think they are even doing that type of procedure now. Last I heard/read was all they will do during the pandemic is pull a tooth if it’s hurting. They won’t try to save it and anything else they aren’t doing.

I pop in the UK Banter thread from time to time. It's best to ignore it and hope it gets scrubbed from serious discussion.

I know I ass about on here most of the time but I'm being serious. The Italians traced the start of the Virus back to two people who came into there Country.Ebola could have been like this but they let Doctors in from all over the world to contain it from the start. but what are you suggesting? people are intentionally spreading the disease?

Just stating what they allow us to know. were like mushrooms kept in the dark and feed on s--t. even your President now is pointing the finger at them . on the news he called it "Chinese virus" they won't like that . he said there will be an investigation and any cover up there will be repercussions or words to that effect anyway it'll all come out in the wash anyway. well, I’m a Canadian so he’s not my president but I understand your point. I think it’s important not to confuse the Chinese people with the acts of the Chinese government. absolutely China seems to hold some responsibility in all this and were negligent on some levels.

the ordinary Chinese people are not to blame. I don't the way they treat animals but I'm a Hipocrite I eat animals and they get miss treated over here . booting sheep down the line to get them killed faster or grabbing pigs by the ears dragging them. one of Connors mates that he plays football with is half Chinese is mum is Chinese is dad is American he is a teacher sometimes he talks to me like I'm a kid but we are good friends go the matchs together . Connors mixed race is mum is Jamaican.

China informed WHO about the virus on Dec 31 and the US on Jan 3. The US did NOTHING until mid-March and downplayed the virus the entire time.

Funny you say that. I realize I have to order Panda Express in the morning if I want to pickup for dinner...otherwise I have to wait over an hour for pickup.

We announced our plans to re-open things in a 5 step process here today. Early May some businesses reopen, May 19th most retail reopens with restrictions in place regarding customers etc, etc. Golfing, Boating, etc will all be opened as part of that too. No dates for the final 3 phases though, phase 5 being essentially back to normal. Phase 3 is kind of the tipping point where places like tattoo shops, gyms, etc get to start being open with some restrictions in place, and when we would be able to start back up with some organized sports, etc. Glad we're taking the lead and being aggressive at starting cautiously re-opening. I still am team Sweden all the way in terms of handling this.

If anything they're going to have to loosen and tighten and loosen and tighten or start financially making everyone whole (which is highly unlikely if not impossible considering that businesses are already folding left and right). If everyone just stayed out of everyone's way and exercised a little day to day patience while taking extra precautions we might have gotten by without closing absolutely everything. Speaking of which.... Tennessee, Georgia, and any other states that are opening, good luck and Godspeed. Please try your best to take precautions. Live, but don't be careless. If your states become nuclear corona hotspots rife with death and overwhelmed hospitals, the rest of us are all f#cked for a looong time. I think it's a little early, but I'm rooting for you guys. For better or worse, what happens next in this country will depend on what happens in your states. I don't know if this is a compliment, but...thanks for being guinea pigs....I guess? Signed: a disgruntled guy from California who fully expects his state to be among the last opened no matter what. We got this fam....well that is until Nashville & Memphis completely s it up for us.

STORYI suggested a few pages back that I thought the math would go this way based on other similar tests. I hope these results stay true.
