I just hope they have already defined what "victory" looks like, and aren't just winging this shite.

Because they are so set on the fact that this is world ending virus that they can’t turn back now.

This panic is insane.

Y’all realize the people taking care of the old people make like 8 bucks an hour, don’t wash their hands, don’t go to restaurants and gyms, and also won’t be able to take off work when they get the virus

This is like when you libtards tell me not to drive a truck when China makes all the pollution

I know

these half measures are really useless if we only do them for a few weeks, but I just don't see politicians allowing their economies to completely tank

we will have to adjust and I think once testing is really set up, some of this will be relaxed

I have not really talked to anyone who is passionately against the actions being taken. The other day I was told I was acting like a bitch because I was complaining about no sports, but I do realize why the action that is being taken.. Is being taken.

Think of how dumb the average American is. Then realize half of them are dumber than that.

My sources are telling me the coronavirus was supposed to be punishment just to China for creating all the pollution that it does, but it got out of hand.

too late

we shot a bullet you can only shoot once and you have to be 100% certain.

i don't see how relaxation works with this virus and the concerns it presents. we cannot stop the spread, especially here

Because it is literally impossible to keep this up for 2-3 months.

Our society as we know it would collapse, and that is not hyperbole.

Americans will be frustrated by this in 2-3 more weeks at most and will come to grips with what an acceptable amount of infections and deaths is, with reasonable precautions.

yeah...which is why I think we will adapt

I don't know why people think we can't adjust or change our strategy with new information

Its stilly

just this is what we are doing now doesn't mean this is what we have to do a month from now

that's the issue

we can run simulations of health-specific conditions all we want, but they don't take into account the economic or social costs involved

you destroy the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in quick succession and grind our economy to a halt and you will get riots. very quickly
