its possible to drive across the county but there are some closed off areas. so for example if you want to take interstate 40 across the country you'd have to go around gallup, nm, which is blocked off to all outside traffic. most of the closed off areas are more remote however. also i think there are still border checkpoints in some states where they are pulling over people with new york or other "hotspot" plates (probably based on the whim of an officer)

I,feel,for,you city folk dealing with 5 foot yard space etc. I can walk at noon, and do!, and not see a car or person within 100 yards. I still wear a mask to get beer and cigs, while there are only me, the clerk, and maybe some construction dude buying a 16 oz.

Our infection rates have been pretty good for a country of our size and geographical position, so I'm excited to see if the second wave theory applies. In South Korea we had 0 new cases for several days and they eased up on distancing etc right in time for a big 3 holiday weekend. Positive case went clubbing at 3 different clubs on Friday night and now there are about 40 new cases from basically every corner of the country. Myor of Seoul ordered all clubs closed indefinitely. Worst part is it was a gay club so now there is that whole stigma and threat of people blaming or accusing of that. Round 2 START! Gildiss fucked around with this message at 03:07 on May 10, 2020 |

Flying to Hawaii just to spend it all inside a hotel sucks. But is a reasonable response from the state for sure. People probably shouldn't be vacationing during a global pandemic. I also live in a residential town (NJ) and I've never seen so many people walking on the streets before. And we've lived in this house for like, almost twenty years now. I used to do running (either early morning around 6am or around 10am-1pm depending on season) and I had never seen so many people back then, and most of the people I did see were other residents who took regular walks. Now everyone is out with their kids and dogs and yada yada. No one wears masks when going for a walk but at least people in my area were all wearing masks when I went to CVS a few days back, as mandated by the state. That said I only go to the stores once a month so it's hard to say what the overall reaction of people is. I think it's good that people are actually going out for walks but dang it feels crowded.

Also I think that if we reopen too early and cases spike, it will be a worse net effect on the economy/in general than if we had just quarantined slightly longer in the first place. Not sure why no one is hyping this talking point I feel like the "liberate michigan etc" bros are getting a disproportionate amount of airtime because they are the only ones willing to leave their houses to protest

Not sure why no one is hyping this talking point Yeah, that's what they saw during the 1918-20 pandemic but history is boring or whatever so no one cares about that. Honestly, that's one of the things that really boggles my mind about this. Medical technology has obviously advanced in the last 100 years but it seems like society is the same in a lot of ways to a century ago so the cultural response to the pandemic is very similar. And oh yeah, the Spanish Flu pandemic technically lasted from the beginning of 1918 until nearly 1921 so strap in for that poo poo. Anyone who thinks this is gonna be over by July is loving delusional.

Not sure why no one is hyping this talking point After the impending spike, states are going to try and isolate again and the pushback from the idiots that didn't isolate in the first place (and the people who were on the fence before, but are now tired of social distancing) will be 10x worse. They're not going to see that their half-assed attempt to distance (more like intentionally not distancing) started the whole thing over again, and that they have to do it right this time if they want some semblance of normalcy. They're just going to throw their hands up, ignore that more people are going to get sick or die, and start shouting into the closest local news camera... "Whys do I have ter fukin suffer? We dids the eye-sooo-lation befur, and it didn't fukin werk! Mah rights! Mah freedoms! Yer all in kahoots wit that devil-worshipping Jew Bills Gate!" Like look at Taiwan! They have this thing beat, they're showing the rest of the world the "cheat code", but somehow idiots in the US somehow think masks are literal slavery and that germs are make-believe. I'm honestly scared of, ashamed of, and feel sorry for America.

Went out of my rural area today to hit up the pharmacy for meds and the market for groceries, and I gotta tell ya. People are loving dumb as poo poo. Many are disregarding social distancing or not wearing masks. The grocery store was in no way enforcing mask usage. It made me pretty angry to have some dipshit boomer get right up next to me to grab some loving poptarts. gently caress.

People seem to generally be behaving in my area of Manchester in the UK. Haven't seen any parties taking place etc. Olds are the ones barreling into you in the street while you try and move away, but then my mum has said it's younger people doing that, so who knows. Barely anyone has a mask though. I'm loving sick of quizzes on Zoom.
