sorry but theres no way the us will ever peacefully break apart, i dont know why everyone thinks this will ever happen that way

im also amused that everyone thinks their economies would just run smoothly after leaving the us or if the us dissolves

The US will never break apart so maybe we can shut the gently caress up about it now.

we're already a loving month in to this thing, why not ride it out one more month

the last month will have meant nothing if we open up now

some states still havent even really closed

i honestly dont get how its supposed to work having different states open or locked down at different times unless interstate travel is shut down or people are tested at state borders or something.

Any uprising here will be brutally stamped out with an iron fist WELL before anything happens that would suggest we split up anytime soon. This virus won't be the thing that does it.

its a silly derail, i dont think its likely that the us is going to break apart due to corona, though there's certainly a lot of distancing between regions happen that may set the stage for that in coming decades. however to say the US will "never" break apart is ridiculous, the US is not immune to the tensions and forces that pull countries apart and they are certainly observable right now

I disagree. I think everyone should talk about it. That's how it happens, everyone talking about it and wanting it. If we can get 20 million people on the west coast demanding secession it is a whole lot more likely then you limply trying to stamp the idea out.

So you should shut up about it not happening.

to be serious though, while the us actually breaking up is very unlikely anytime soon, i do think interstate borders are increasingly a reality. again, how is it supposed to work with different states locked down and other states open at the same time unless there is some control over interstate travel?

I don't think it can be unless the national guard sets up roadblocks. And they probably still wouldn't be able to get every road. Plus I'm sure there's tons of other ways in. This won't work unless the states work together and Trump is doing a great job of pitting us against each other.

have any of the lock downs in any state been true real deal "nobody leave the house ever" type lock downs? because if its like most states where you cant eat in restaurants or go to school but can still go to work and to the grocery store, they're not going to stop people from crossing state borders. the various state law enforcement agencies would probably just heavily fine any people who are doing poo poo like blatantly not wearing a mask or whatever.

i dont think they would do it on every road but they could very easily do so on the interstates. there are not a ton of ways in and out of california, oregon, or washington for example if you are talking about interstates and major highways that carry the majority of traffic.

california already has checkpoints when you enter from arizona for agricultural inspection (they currently just wave almost everyone through)

rhode island went ahead and started doing some poo poo on their own, trying to stop every car with ny plates, but they were smacked down after cuomo got pissed about it. that was early on in this. i could see it coming back if things get really bad.

you are correct, there are no real deal lockdowns in the US, and i think the most severe measures have been very localized.

however, right now we have a contrast between states that are semi-closed, as you describe, states that are not locked down at all, and in the middle states that are locked down in name only but making a lot of bullshit exceptions for companies and people are still working together in groups. and i guess there are states that are currently locked down but planning to open in early may? its hard to even keep track of where they all are.

however if this continues to be the case, some of the states that are doing nothing - or next to nothing - are going to get really bad. states that border the bad states but are at least doing some degree of social distancing are going to have to continue to keep economies relatively shut down as long as there is any flow of people coming in from the more infected states, otherwise it will result in second waves. so, in future months, states that handle this relatively well may want to control the flow of people coming in from states that handled it badly, as a step of reopening. otherwise i dont see how regional reopening would work

i got 3 of literally every single canned thinng my safeway had cuz it was early february and nobody gave a poo poo in the us then

out of all of them, i think the chef boyardee throwback bolognese was the most unexpectedly good. basically they seem to have recognized that they made it poo poo over the decades

conpare to dinty moore beef stew, which is not fit for human beings to eat. or those canned tamales

my safeway has a stocked frozen food aisle apparently so its frozen food for 3 months next i guess

A lot of the comorbidities with the rona are basically the result of eating too much food, or lovely kinds of food like fried food. That's why it's hitting the black community so hard here in NY. Like no one chooses to get MS but certainly you can choose to not be 400 lbs.
