If we practice social distancing and keep our $hit clean it’s going to die out, not completely but eventually until vaccine herd immunity. enough people get it, it stops spreading. tough to get there, though, would cap hosp capacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the same site that Psssshr referenced in his original post for some consistency in the numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it is the same source each day but for example of spread in "local news" down here, another person passed from the virus in Albany today. Thats three in just this local area alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't know yet if that is possible. That was the UK's plan but they abandoned it when they realized how many would be hospitalized. But there's already cases of people getting it twice. Tested positive, recovered, tested negative and then tested positive again later. Now they don't know if maybe it was just a testing problem or they weren't really fully recovered but they also don't know if getting it gives you immunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleachkit Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Putting the entire Western world in prolonged quarantine, thus causing countless industries and small and medium sized businesses to go under leading to an economic collapse might end up causing more death and suffering than the virus itself.

Lurker Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 From the way we're going, we MIGHT see the NBA jump right to the playoffs IF we're lucky. Worst case, it's cancelled entirely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt that it possibly will. This is why they were talking about going with the "herd immunity" concept in some of those European countries. Just let everyone get it now, and then it will go away quicker. Many more will die if you do that. But to your point, a lot will die if we try to hide from this for an extended period of time, just from everything else collapsing. I hate to say this, but by the time this is over, the idea of "small business" may not exist anymore. What used to be "small businesses" may simply be individual franchises ran by people, but owned by a corporation. Imagine Coca-Cola owning EVERY restaurant and service in Atlanta.

Cases will skyrocket as nationwide testing has begun. The dead will creep up toward 100 per day by the end of the week. Once the death toll gets into the thousands, that's when people will start to pay attention to the social distancing concept. The "killer" for us though, is that neighborhood grocery stores are virtually gone, so everyone runs to Costco, Sams, Walmart, Kroger, etc to buy all of their food. And that means you have to share the air with hundreds of folks, instead of about 20. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
