Even if a vaccine comes it’s not even a guarantee it’ll stop the Virus. Look at the flu vaccine: people still get sick after they get it. You can’t shut down the world longer. Eventually shyt will have to open and the Virus will still be around. Just gotta hope it doesn’t intensify and can weaken in strength.

Based on what I've read, there are possibly 6 strains of Covid-19 ranging in potency (not the best word, I know). If pharmaceuticals/universities are working on developing vaccines, which strain are they basing their vaccine on? Of course, there is the obvious fact that what may work on some people may not work on others.

With that said I’m still taking precautions. Will stay away from public gatherings in confined spaces (and outdoors if possible), wear a mask, and avoid getting too close to people. (Especially if they don’t wear masks. I was at a comic shop a few days ago and no one, besides me, was wearing face covering SMH.)
Be careful that kind of talk is shunned around here by the folks who think the country should be shut down in perpetuity

I wonder the same thing. It's so many workouts (even for small places) and affordable equipments you can use at home.

I guess it's a personal preference. I don't use gyms at all, everything I do is at home or my local park.

I guess da need for social interaction w/strangers is that great.

More than 410,000 people in the US could die from the coronavirus by January 1, more than doubling the current death toll, a new model often cited by top health officials predicted Friday.

That would mean 224,000 more lives lost in the US over the next four months.

Near-universal mask use could cut the number of projected additional fatalities by more than half, according to the model from the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. But it also warns the cumulative death toll could be much higher by the new year if all restrictions are eased.

"If a herd immunity strategy is pursued, meaning no further government intervention is taken from now to Jan 1st, the death toll could increase to 620,000," according to IHME's briefing.

The death rate could reach nearly 3,000 a day by December, an unprecedented number, due in part to "declining vigilance of the public," the IHME expects. For now, the model points to declining mask use in some regions from peak usage in early August.

:mindblown: America had 192k deaths in 7 months, if we do another 200k-400k in the next FOUR months that is fukking insane

Take care of your parents. Mom's obviously raised you right if your already allowing her to stay with you. Keep her there bruh.

I'm only coppin the 5 because the Donald gave me $1200. If it was coming out of my own pocket, I'd wait it out.

:mjgrin:

If your main focus is modding, then I'd suggest you go the PC route.
