Bleusilences posted:Like I said in another thread I am almost a shut in and I am going nuts to not be able to do simple thing like go get a coffee. I can't imagine what/how an extrovert feels like right now. I've gone decades on my own with barely any actual contact so I'm fine with this, but I get that I'm a serious outlier. My facebook is full of people that seem to be close to snapping already.

Kase Im Licht posted:One, please show me where I said we must do this now. 1. You said open things up with no further qualification if you want people to think you’re talking about a month from now then maybe say that, otherwise the default is that you’re talking about now. 2. Opening things up at the peak you could have handled creates a new higher peak that you likely won’t be able to handle.

Hopper posted:We have seen pandemics before. The problem wit this one is that people are not scared. People will not adhere to restrictions until everybody knows at least 1 person who is severely suffering or died of this. Then they might start to be afraid. But today's society is far to used to being safe to realize this poo poo is at your doorstep everywhere. It also didn't help that there was a lot of miss information about how this virus only kills the elderly and those with disabilities. We as a society have always been okay with murdering the disabled, but it blew my mind how quickly people were happy to be vocal about allowing vulnerable groups of people to die over this.

Most goons saying society will open up sooner rather than later are not actually advocating for this. They’re just saying an anecdotal prediction based upon fairly predictable human traits

Personally I'm not a very big fan since I'm on two different immunosuppressing medications, one of which needs to be administered in a hospital every six weeks over the course of two hours. My last visit made me really paranoid.

Nurge posted:The problem is you can't keep people doing this for that long. People are literally going crazy because they're not used to being alone. Like a year is pushing it. Yeah this would likely require a massive change in the way people live. On the social front, a lot of people are going to go insane. On the economic front, governments would have to almost go full on Communist to not starve their populations. Then in places like the US you have a swathes of people who would want to shoot at the government about that, which is tons of fun. The thing that scares me the most here is that over time the idea of "getting it over with" may become more and more popular. Especially with politicians. The problem is, that is largely based on the idea that this would be like the flu, where it spreads and kills really bad for a year or so, then becomes endemic and becomes more mild. What I'd be worried about is that assumption being wrong and us ending up with an endemic disease with a mortality rate anywhere from 1 to 5%. Basically decimating humanity until we develop a vaccine or rapid cure.

If I had it my way we wouldn't even be talking about reopening but I have about zero faith that the governor is going to extend it past the end of the month.

I said come in! posted:I understand that, but it would be nice if people didn't believe we can actually open things back up. Keeping things shut down voluntarily helps prevent deaths and people getting sick. Opening things back up again, results in millions upon millions of people getting sick, and millions dead, and everything shuts down by force anyways. you are assuming that people will willing go back to work when they are still in danger. "opening up" could just as easily lead to a general strike

Burt Sexual posted:The most realistic lockdown duration I’ve heard is through 2021, 2022 isn’t mainstream from what I’ve seen. Hell la even shutdown all events until 2022 starts. Here in Orlando where the economy relies on tourists who are driven here by theme parks (which are, if you think about it, supermassive social gatherings, the largest in the world) we are not going to be able to even begin to recover until we have a reliable vaccine. Disney and Universal know that reopening pre-vaccine means, in a very tangible way, killing guests and employees on a regular basis. That's a PR hit they won't take. It would sink the parks globally if even one reopens and becomes the epicenter of a new outbreak. So that means 2021 is a fairly generous estimate for our economy to find it's feet again, and when it does we will have to contend with people still being afraid, still being unwilling to stand in large groups or long lines, still being unable to travel due to their personal economic situation (as they empty their savings to pay bills during this years-long crisis) and outbreaks still happening, though on a much smaller scale, among the unvaccinated going to the parks. So yes, we may "reopen" in 2021, but if you think the Orlando economy will meaningfully recover before 2022 I think you're hallucinating. We'll probably have a big rush where whatever politicians will declare the problems "over" right as the parks reopen and the Annual Pass holders and borderline-religious theme park attendees flock to their happy place, but park attendance overall will likely not reach 2019 levels for several years, and entire sectors of our economy will wither and die on the vine as a result of the decreased tourism. This will change Orlando (and other tourist economies) literally forever. E: This may literally destroy Vegas entirely. There is no reason for them to exist beyond colossal gatherings of people (shows, casinos, restaurants, clubs) so they may not be able to meaningfully recover on any timeline.

I wonder if they'll just end up with a second wave of closings when people go back to work and start getting sick and dying. I live next door in Indiana and while our governor is a shitbird (less so than Pence, though), we're not budging yet. Hopefully we stay closed longer.

I mean he hasn't done that yet but I wouldn't be remotely surprised if that's what happens during his rally tonight.

coronavirus posted:Exactly. Its way too early to tell if it will end up being a good treatment. But there is enough there to be worth doing trials. Ignoring the fact that the one study claiming it to be effective was done without robust controls or sample size and has been roundly disclaimed by the rest of the scientific community and every other study so far that has a bigger dataset has not shown any effectiveness for HCQ while other studies have halted prematurely or halted some dosage regimens due to the number of side effects. But you know, keep misquoting people and ignoring evidence contrary to your opinion.
