Interesting seeing all the people saying that 3 months of this fake ass quarantine where you can do everything except go to a stadium has them going crazy and doing irreparable harm to their mental state but ask these same folks about prison reform and shifting focus on rehabilitation instead of hard punishment and it's :unimpressed:.

People create their own prisons. I'm sure another sharp spike will happen shortly, but with less PPE, doctors and nurses, people will the threaten to sue states, or show up to hospitals with weapons demanding they get treatment. There is no way this will end well. Greed is fukking killer

I don’t think any non-alarmist is advocating a lockdown until there is a vaccine.

The reasonable perspective right now is ramping up testing and PPE production until we can identify and track outbreaks while keeping those treating the sick safe. Social distancing will have to continue but involves wearing masks and not holding events that bring in big crowds especially events that people travel to from other areas.

People at high risk unfortunately are gonna have to be especially vigilant. You’re not sending your kids to school or daycare all week and then dropping them off with grandma while you hit up a venue to watch a concert or sporting event in the near future.

Things will not be back to “normal” for a while but going back to work and not being on lockdown is coming once we can do it responsibly.


i dont even think we have taht many alarmist on the coli. but if nikkas think opening businesses back up is going to "improve the economy" immediately they are trippin. The people who are going to be spending money and have extra funds arent really trynna be out in these streets if they dont feel safe. and feeling safe comes with ramping up testing and ppe production so everyone can have access to a legit mask.

if they dont anythign short of opening before then. we will have outbreaks. i dont know what to tell these people specifically in this thread because we have a long way to go before we can just do normal shyt again. i just see alot of people wanting to get back to their escapism activities and the majority of those wont be available to do in person for a grip.
alot need to learn to sit within themselves and take this time to be introspective.

i thought this before. but i go back and forth americans as a whole are alot of bravado and talking. then they dont do anything that benefits them. nikkas cant even go vote to change their lives. they are about to threaten to do alot of shyt. but you might be right we havent been in a situation like this in our lifetime.

at the moment im very fortunate and have been doing projects around the house and purchasing things to make my house feel like home and not feel like a prison so im talking frmo a partial place of privilege as well

It depends on what you supply and it depends on who you supply it to.

Supplying cheap tat to poorer countries is not as critical as supplying medical, weapons, high-tech or infrastructure goods to the rich countries and hence does not give you the same leverage. (NOTE: Yes I know but balance weighted they are behind).

Look at the resistance to China climbing up the value chain with Huawei.

Poorer countries will dance to the G7 tune irrespective of where they get their tat from - for the time being anyway.

All I know is I'm tired of politicians getting on TV and telling us we are expendable in the face of the economy. I already work an essential role in this. I'm expendable to the people, not billionaires. Why should we do for them, when they not even willing to shut it all down for one month?
