[quote=Anonymous]I think the country can reopen very, very slowly, as long as social distancing and mask wearing and sanitizing and more and more testing are in place. There are very low risk areas, very low risk sports (tennis), very low risk jobs that can be done safely in certain areas where the virus is not exploding (like NYC). Rural areas can open up first. Testing will find cases, they can be isolated, and contacts traced. That should be possible.

But those of us in urban areas have to be more cautious. I'm not going anywhere even if my entire state opens up. I'm wearing a mask until a vaccine is discovered, even if that takes 10 years. I'm wearing a mask to work, even if I get fired from my job. I don't care. I'll find another job, but I won't find another life.

Nothing has changed since the pandemic started, except a lot more people are dead in the past three months. Many more will die because so few Americans have been exposed to the virus. I don't want to be one of them. [/quote]
