When should the shutdown end?
- Thread starter 40 acres and a mule
- Start date
You still don't get it???
The shutdown should never end. This is where we hang it up and call it a day. We had a good run, humans.

If only there were some sort of stimulus package to help provide for people to prevent this.....

Maybe there is someone who can give everyone money for bills and provide assistance to those small businesses.....
two places in particular... NY and California just found out that when they put everyone at home... they didn't actually go home or stay home. in Cali, they all went to the beach. in NY, they went to parks and wherever else. It would seem those two population bases are part of the same that is screaming at the top of their lungs to shut the country down for the next 6 months or else everyone will die.
He’s talking about testing as a proactive measure to get a feel of the contours of how the virus has spread. No, testing sick people to confirm the have Corona is not an effective preventive measure, but the former is. It will allow large swaths of healthy and recovered Americans to do exactly what you wan, but without this (making this term up) marketplace fatalism that says if we don’t have a permanent fix today then 17 it. And an “outbreak management“ type strategy could absolutely work for twelve months or however long it takes to develop a vaccine.
the bulk from your medical specialists are only seeing emergency cases per CDC guidelines so their patient load is a fraction (or nothing) vs normal. The bank note for my development and my payroll aren’t taking a holiday. Restaurants (high end to fast food) are also getting killed.
I love how some speak of the what will happen with confidence as if it was factual certainty. It is not. It may be true but no one knows at this point. Medical experts admit that what little testing has been done in inconclusive on a lot of topics like how long the virus survives outside a host, infection dose that actually causes sickness on people with healthy immune systems, etc. The medical experts repeatedly say that we must assume the worse possible outcome and prepare based on that. The worse possible outcome is not a guarantee. That's why it's called the worse possible outcome, and not just the outcome.
Now, before you go freaking out. I am working from home. We are using pickup service for groceries and not going in stores. We take extreme precaution with my in-laws that are older and have health issues. We go pick up farms supplies, etc. they need and drop off at their house so they don't get out. If my kids go help on the farm - no sharing vehicles, no going in their house, never get within 6 feet. We use common sense.
There is a difference between using common sense and completely shutting the world down.
