Return to Normalcy

So you’ll be in the midst of a massive surge again in about 4 weeks.

Cool cool.

Nope. Wearing mask only to grocery shop and I don’t really do any other kind of store related activities. I’m going to gym and yoga and restaurants and movies and visiting friends etc. lots of walks in this lovely weather. Things will be back to normal.

That will likely happen in 3-5 years at minimum.

Even as things slowly open up again >>> there will always be people who are afraid to completely let their guards down.
I know that I will never take anything for granted ever again & that life can change completely in less than a day.

I also live w/the reality that all the bad times did not just exist “a long time ago.”

Your love this don’t you! I just don’t get you people who seem to enjoy this.

Over a 1% mortality virus? No thanks. Should we stop going outside in the sun because there is probably more than a 1% chance of skin cancer too?

TOTALLY. He also said at beginning of the year that this was no big deal. The guy does NOT know what he is talking about. Just because he has a title does not mean he is the all knowing on healthcare in US.

I'm suggesting 3-5 years. 3 yrs min for public schools to go back in-class 100% for all the states and 3 years min for masks to be voluntary. It's another product to market and make money off so def going to be hard to take the mandatory off it even if we don't really all need. It's all about money. Festivals, cultural events like MET, plays, that's all small money and that's going to probably not happen. Pro sports will come back before and even for pro sports I think will be some time before things are running at 100% across the board - 3- 5 years.

Agree about Fauci. Everything else you say is whacked.

Commutes and office life for many are things of the past. TW is the new normal.
Schools maybe return in fall 2021.
Movie theaters are dead
Concerts, large sporting events, other crowded fan-type events won’t maybe return in a couple of years.

Give me a break. You sound thrilled about this. Some people really WANT this .....! Look at other states that are already back to normal. I’ll move to one of them if I have to. Or another country. But I’m sure your prediction won’t come true as much as you’d love it. I have already gone to the movies and the gym and restaurants etc etc and so will everyone else. And school is reopening everywhere...whether you like to or not.

I'm curious, why states are back to normal with low Covid numbers? I have not been following the latest developments.

Florida. Lots of cases but very few deaths. Declining every week. The risk of dying is getting lower and lower every week. I’m not going to hide from a virus that 99.9% chance can’t kill me. Now if I was obese and had diabetes I’d be more careful and you should too if you’re someone with health issues.

This.

When HIV was spreading we didn’t lock people out from having sex - you made your own decisions based on your risk tolerance and accepted the consequences of your actions. This lockdown nonsense has gone too far. Whether we like it or not, the only way we return to any semblance of normal is to accept the virus as part of our lives. A vaccine doesn’t make covid go away - having some damn common sense and taking sensible precautions is what works. Go to work, go to school, live your lives. If you are susceptible or high risk, act accordingly.

Like it or not, we can’t control the rules and other people’s responses.

Did she say why?

You are just oozing with privilege.

I guess I’m oozing with privilege as well cause I feel the same way as the PP.

Keep hiding in your basements and hoarding yeast then.
