I don't know man..i've been consuming news sparingly. Hoping next time i read, there's some light at the end of the tunnel. But so far each time projections are a little worse.

 

[Crude Abolitionist]

All of you doom and gloom people are probably losers in real life. What a terrible attitude.

Theres a reason why all successful people are optimists.

Im all for being realistic and having a wait and see until summer attitude.

But all this talk of major changes to society and large cities never being the same again and never going to football games anymore. As if its going to change human behavior. Please.

Go away and hide in your bunkers and follow the Mayan calendar doomsday attitude. Im sure it gives you a good excuse to stay a loser and remain one in life. . Why even try? The worlds coming to an end, right?

Depends on when the infection rate starts hitting a downward curve. I'd say August for most of the US. Gonna be a rough few months brehs.

Sports and concerts definitely not coming back this year though.

The disease itself not stopping until we get a vaccine.

Idk but this shyt fukked everything up far as my plans. This was supposed to be the year I joined as an e4 in the army ( I know but I’m 27 +benefits) I even stopped smoking weed for this shyt, I feel my self slipping as every day goes by. I hope this shyt is quick I’m tired of living with a useless/underperforming bachelors degree. This year was supposed to be a movie. Major Payne or some shyt. This like resident evil

Even if a vaccine is created, its too late. Vaccines dont cure u, it prevents u from getting sick based off of last years strain and even then its a 50/50 chance u can get sick because like the flu, this virus can mutate yearly making the vaccine ineffective.

Not necessarily.

The strain is mutation is slow, this is not like the strain from the flu.

June or July. Just in time for football, the best sport will be spared.

 

[Eternal Tecate]

it'll never be normal again. this is the first major shock of climate change. more and more will come over the next 10-20 years. the virus is upon us because the ice caps are melting and releasing viruses that have been frozen since I don't know when.

Melting glaciers and thawing permafrost could release ancient viruses locked away for thousands of years

this is gonna last the rest of our lives. we were living in a fantasy land.

 

[Formerly known as...]

June.

I think/hope to see a lift on things come June. Sports and live shows are done for this year though

I mean this ain't even the first Corona virus we fight....

Sars, h1n1 swine flu all died out around summer and after summer when it made a comeback...our immune system was better adapted..

The reason their is such a major panic right now is because this one was mismanaged....everyone was on that "wait and see" approach when it was already with us.

All gouvernement are panicking because they are behind the curve...not because it's the end of the world but this is damage control... Telling people to stay home is damage control meaning were still in control.

its worse then the flu. Look how fast the strain mutated in Italy. Its twice as deadly as the strains in China and US


What good will a vaccine be if the virus mutates?
There's also the strong possibility that SARS-CoV-2 will continue to mutate.

Being an animal virus, it has already likely mutated as it adapted – first to another animal, and then jumping from an animal to humans.


Initially this was without transmission among people, but now it has taken the significant step of sustained human-to-human transmission.

As the virus continues to infect people, it is going through something of a stabilisation, which is part of the mutation process.

This mutation process may even vary in different parts of the world, for various reasons.

This includes population density, which influences the number of people infected and how many opportunities the virus has to mutate. Prior exposure to other coronaviruses may also influence the population's susceptibility to infection, which may result in variant strains emerging, much like seasonal influenza.

Therefore, it's crucial we continue to work with one of the latest versions of the virus to give a vaccine the greatest chance of being effective.

All this work needs to be done under stringent quality and safety conditions, to ensure it meets global legislative requirements, and to ensure staff and the wider community are safe.

And it would start in China


Not a.country closer to where the ice melts

Iceland has 2 death yet their ice is melting like mad

Coronavirus: How scientists are tracking 8 strains of SARS-CoV-2 virus

It won’t be hard.

Read the whole thing.

 

[Ribbs]

Realistically?

8 months because I have little to no faith. I've already seen folk partying in fukking March, you think you can trust them to stay home in the summer? With potential of the virus returning in after people already recovered from it? Yeah, 8 months.

 

[Ribbs]

It depends...

Going to work and then coming home to a lil verbal scuffle is one thing..

Spending all day with someone and not having any outlet for escape is a different monster because every disagreement is amplified



You can easily say to yaself fukk this bytch im gonna go to the bar real quick then come back and deal with the bullshyt

But when you say fukk this bytch and realize it aint nowhere to go but back into the fire because everything closed, shyt hit different..

And some of these women will nag and stay on 5th gear because they are bored themselves...

It a tough time right now

I did see an article on couples living with an abusive partner during this quarantine. It is rough for some people.
