Like, the people who think stuff is gonna stay closed, until when? When would be a safe time to reopen? When there's a vaccine in, maybe, 18 months? You know that's not realistic. "Stay closed" is not an actual answer.

The government was unwilling and unable to take the steps necessary to stop the virus. It's too late now. So the only way out is through.

I honestly think you can open retail up and R(t) will stay below 1 with only a mediocre amount of contact tracing. It's only the places where people hang out and talk or get physically active that are risky. So just shut the gently caress up and buy.

The office and in person meeting are dead until a vaccine. Any place that reopens will learn that quickly. Churches? Hahaha nope. Schools? Good luck. Air travel? Honestly may end up surprisingly less bad than we think but it will allow clusters to move.

I can't imagine they're the only ones seeing those kind of numbers and planning those kinds of responses

Notre Dame has said they're opening for Fall but the semester will end (?) at fall break and nobody comes back, which would put a bunch of students on campus right during a projected second wave so ???

odds are almost all schools are open this Fall with some kind of hybrid setup where classes that realistically CAN be done online are but some are in person

Every school is just going to have profs do online lectures and TAs do the in person close up labs and let everyone under 40 get infected, it's either that or 100+ year old institutions can't meet payroll for the admins who get to decide on reopening

How's the situation looking in the US now? Still on the path to ruin?

Things are still pretty controlled here in NZ, I'm at the hospital now and had to sanitize my hands 4 times, plus there's security guards and lines to control traffic. Even other non-health related places have strict limits on letting people in. And this is in the south island which hasn't had a case in I dunno exactly but quite awhile.

Yeah this poo poo bums me out. I'm sitting at home on unemployment and things are ok. But I'm obese and at risk and my wife will 100% die if she gets it, same with my brother in law. So if either I or my sister in law have to go in to offices when they reopen in June, what the gently caress do we do. Its certain death for our loved ones because we use trains to commute 30 minutes each way (and I always end up in super packed office rooms) or I fight a foreclosure as long as I can

It was honestly nice having things shut down since I didn't have to make this choice , reopening sucks but it's not like I can avoid this thing forever

they actually floated that idea here apparently and it was met with horror at the prospect of what a PR nightmare that would be

unless they plan on increasing IT and classroom support 100-fold I don't see how running livestreams into half the classes on campus all day long is going to happen

This statement requires the assumption that the government isn't going to step in and help people. It assumes that resources will not be distributed according to need, and that food, shelter, and medicine will be unavailable to those that need them.

That's true under the status quo, but the best health outcomes will follow if we all stay at home and POLITELY EXPLAIN to our elected republican leaders that we need these things. With great respect and decorum according to the rules of these forums, respectfully.

I think the science will align to prove that if you sneeze its no big deal. HOWEVER! If two people sneeze and the streams cross then the virus be fuckin and humpin and then you get the virus babies and people start dying.

downtown is loving dead. as dead as it was 15 years ago when we lived above spaghetti works. I'm surprised that Hy-Vee is staying open tbh. and any bar that opens (all of Larry Smithsons', I assume) are trash I wouldn't go to before the pandemic anyway.

I will be real sad if the full court places open; I like their take out still

I think west point is going to test and quarantine every cadet coming back and throw all those that show up positive into one of the barracks. They'll probably have MPs patrolling around to make sure any of the little fuckers dont escape.
