I probably won't ever stop wearing a mask in public stores. It feels comfy. And if it protects others more than me, that's just fine. Sometimes I wonder how many people I might have accidentally killed just by going out and doing things while sick before this pandemic. Kind of a sobering thought

I also think a second peak will happen and they cancel the election and everybody will just let that happen too

shovelbum posted:I do think all the LIFE WILL NEVER RETURN TO NORMAL stuff is pretty overblown though, like at some point if there is zero progress everyone is just going to go outside and spread the disease around and do you know, human stuff. It's the worst way to handle it but it may be what we're on track for in TRUMPS AMERICA Even still there are local businesses that are already not coming back because the damage has already been done, regardless of how long this continues; that'll only grow Unemployment ain't magically getting fixed with a Turn On button either The dozens of thousands already dead here won't come back to life None of that means we won't call it "normal" to cope, of course. If this country's proven it's exceptional at anything, it's not acknowledging a problem's a problem until it's too late to really solve it

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:The George W Bush Presidential library features a room that's a 9/11 response simulator where 9/11 happens and you have to choose how to respond to this crisis and if you pick anything other than "Invade Afghanistan and Iraq" Bush comes on the screen to explain to you why you're wrong. This is only a slight exaggeration "Critical Decisions - Play the role of President and dive into the decision-making process in our interactive Decision Points Theater. Hear from presidential advisers and voice how you would act as President when faced with major crises.In this theater, visitors choose from one of four scenarios: the invasion of Iraq, the “surge” in Iraq, the financial crisis, and Hurricane Katrina. Guests may act as the president and make decisions based on conflicting advice from a wide range of sources. This exercise allows the Library to present the debates on major events in the Bush Administration and to show how all leaders must make decisions based on the information they have in hand."

etalian posted:It took a few years for people to mentally adjust after the 1918 pandemic and start socializing again. And businesses and restaurants and social circles aren't really places, they're social constructs that only exist because we believe they do and they're a part of our routines. If a restaurant stops having staff and customers it stops existing, and that has a shock up the supply chain that will make creating a replacement difficult even once the financial incentive returns. I certainly don't believe we'll actually learn anything and will insist on the world being the way it was before all this especially including the lovely things, but it doesn't change that the world they want to return to is already gone and rebuilding will take several years at minimum.

endlessmonotony posted:Having had a lot of angry outbursts, lemme share a secret. Well, it's not as much a secret as it's the blatantly obvious truth, but it might as well be a secret given how much people try to avoid getting it. I went through a serious problem about 4 years ago with my mental health and didn't even step outside for almost 5 months and when I did I couldn't go in "public" alone. I still have a lot of issues. I'm treating this social distancing like that but with a better understanding of myself. My own brain tells me I can't do things so I'm not going to argue with a deadly virus, I know my limits, sadly some people don't have the same awareness
