Best Posts in Thread: what is the plan?

Taiwan has EIGHT known active covid cases, New Zealand, ONE. Sure, every country has a unique set of variables, but it's hard to argue that countries with a disciplined response such as these would be faring better if they just threw caution to the wind.

Both of my parents, in their 70s, were initially lax about current circumstances despite my own pleas to protect themselves. Both of them got the virus about six weeks ago. Thankfully, they were among the majority who don't get severe symptoms. They are now taking common sense precautions and happily doing so. Perspectives change when reality hits.

This situation is a mess in many ways and often with harmful tradeoffs, but it is real and one day in the not-so-distant future it shall pass.

At the very least, just wear a d*mn mask. We cover our faces when we cough and sneeze. Covering our faces when we might have a virus that could kill others and not even know we are carrying it is a simple courtesy and painless practice to follow.

 

1. we all read articles about the virus from experts
2 we know nothing about the virus beside the articles we read from experts.
3 people die from this virus
4 if a second wave arrives sh*t will hit the fan
5 because economy in most countries is down already
6 good luck

 

I think people who write posts such as this should follow their own advice but not expect everyone else to do so - you may be surprised to know that people, from the dumbest to the most intelligent, have some form of personal decision making. Everyone should avoid following the HERD

 

The impact of the economy must be a consideration on the “plan”. I believe June 15 has to be the end date.
