Bro, have you ever tried baking bread from scratch? It is TOUGH. I don't know why bread doesn't cost $20 per loaf. The reason men don't bake is because they are too stupid and impatient to pull it off.

Haven’t got that bored yet, but we’re still early in the game.

It's going to be radically different for different states. States that are locking down, and treating this serious should have a better outcome. Obviously the extremely dense areas like NYC, LA, Chicago, etc... are going to get his hard early, but if the state governments stick to quarantining, and even raise the stakes a bit, then they should start having a turn around in the next 4 weeks or so.

 

States like Florida, whose governor is an idiot, will get hit extremely hard for a longer duration since they're hesitant to take any extreme measures. If every state locks down, then the entire country could return back to normal by late May or early June, imo.

 

All I have to say is thank god the federal government has no control over the state government in regards to locking down. This virus would linger a lot longer if they did. Unfortunately, they do have control over funds...

 

 

shutting down the states does save lives, but also prolongs the pandemic lifecycle.  look at the difference between philly and st louis in 1918.  st louis canceled their large gatherings and had a long tail.  philly didnt and a bunch of people died right away but it resolved quicker.

Fingers crossed that it is heat sensitive and also people build immunities if they get it. That'll go a long way in stopping the cycle.

My fingers are also crossed but I have little faith the virus is heat sensitive. At least not from an air temperature/climate perspective. Perhaps temperature and humidity can slow the virus but I have little faith it will stop it.

We don't know if this is true with COVID-19 since there's no proof that immunity is gained after first infection. Philly also shutdown the city after their hospitals got completely overrun proving a lockdown was needed anyways. Finally, they let up on the lockdown early, and once again they saw their numbers rise. It was a vicious cycle of lockdown->numbers lower-> ease up on lockdown-> numbers rise.

if immunity isnt gained after the first infection we really f'd so lets not think about that

I don’t know why they can’t drive brinks trucks through every major city and toss out bundles of cash like candy at a county fair parade.

 

But yeah, this will be a nice thing to have happens when it arrives.
 

People who are relying on this and need it fast and can work should apply at their local grocery store. Lots of places here (and I’m assuming everywhere) hiring as the older workers take their PTO. People who have kids and can’t work are sunk, but lots of places are giving bonuses right now too.

A ‘negative’ coronavirus test result doesn’t always mean you aren’t infected

I have tried. You are right, it is not easy. That’s why it’s my wife’s job. I will stick to mowing lawn, chopping wood, and yelling at the neighborhood kids while sitting on my porch.
