Yeah I think they will. It's going to be like one of those situations where you're pregnant with a baby and you swear after giving birth you'll never do it again but lo and behold three days later you're ready to root and get back on the horse!

Australia is a very pragmatic country and we already realise that we jumped on this much earlier than our other first world contemporaries probably because of our close proximity to China and our massive influx of Chinese students, etc. And that's also on the flipside why the majority of people have cracked it when it was discovered a Chinese company ordered their Aussie and Canadian based employees to basically stockpile all PPE and ship them back to China. We're all betting people obviously... I'm willing to put down $10k that my husband already had this virus back in late December/early Jan when he was told his chest infection was a new thing but don't be concerned. If I were histrionic I'd say I'd already had it too as I was sick like a mofo for weeks with some sort of shit chest thing. But the whole point of social distancing isn't for us, it's for our parents, our kids grandparents, kids who are ill, emergency responders, teachers, etc. Those who work at a supermarket or at Uber or Target or at a bank... you're all valued. Stay safe and how ironic is it that the most essential jobs (here in Australia at least) don't tend to require uni degrees. What a waste my 7 years was!!!

the irony in that is strong

i feel for the essential workers just making barely above minium wage. my neighbor's daughter got it from her job as a bookkeeper in a supermarket.

As soon as they let people loose, numbers will go back up. Numbers only leveling off now because everyone has been locked up for 2-3 weeks

it is really strange how these whackjobs around here don't know this.

yes, I'd love to see the 25k Hero pay for frontline workers approved

Oh gosh, so do I. I really hope they have a few of the measures in place that we have here in Australia.

I was having a bit of a cry today and my husband tried to make me smile by saying who knew that we were essential in our work? So we did a bit of a dance and kept on going. It's a pretty shit time for everyone so without sounding like Tinkerbell I'm hoping we can still be kind to each other somehow

even after virus passes the world will never be the same, it's not like a strong thunderstorm where once it passes everybody comes out of their houses and goes back to normal

[cyclingbettor]

Wuhan is open for business. 11 weeks on lockdown. Done.

Lol.

[nyplayer33]

Minnesota 29k tested 39 deaths?? Get the dam treatment approved for a test run...there are a few. I might go to minnesota, screw this crap.

Someone really needs to start a thread questioning the wisdom of shutting down the country when only 80,000 or so people are going to die.

[johnnyvegas13]

restaraunt industry will never be the same

How so

[cincinnatikid513]

How so

people wont go out to eat as much, will stay home cook meals be cheaper

[cyclingbettor]

What you guys don’t understand is the virus is never going away so you really expect us to be locked down until a vaccine is ready??? That is about a year or so....Unreal that a lot of you are OK with the government controlling you.

Fauchi and that surgeon general need to be removed as they offer zero positivity.

I certainly hope that the plan going forward is to contain the virus without having to shut down the country. At the moment, though, it is so out of control that I don't think containment is an option, hence the current state of affairs.

I know in a super popular super market in the southern US employees weren't allowed to (or at least weren't required to) wear gloves or masks until the customers protested on behalf of employees. If my grandmother, who has worked there for 40 fkn years and only continues to work there because she needs to maintain her shares, contracts the virus, it's highly likely she got it working at the supermarket.

There's a private group already talking about a lawsuit...

[lakerboy]

Large gatherings like will be a tough thing

Weddings
Concerts
Sports
Parties


Restaurant industry destroyed.

Hopefully some people learned how to cook.

At the end of the day though life has to go back to normal.

Let's do some SBR math.

On March 8th(that's 1 month ago for you non-math guys) there were 213 total confirmed cases in the U.S. with 11 total deaths.

April 7th(1 day ago for you non-math guys) there were over 31 thousand new cases in the U.S. on that day alone along with over 1900 deaths in the U.S. on that day alone.

like the way you spelled daygo for the non-math Italians
ballzy of you considering your name ends not in a vowel, Mr John Galt

Because if we don’t it will be over a million. There, your questioned is answered, now go back to coloring.

Really need hot weather to be a factor

When does NBA restart

All I wanna know

[keely85]

It will die down Bc of all the social distancing urban areas are doing then start back up when rural areas keep it going and morons in urban or close suburbs lived their best lives and got it

[d2bets]

At almost 2k deaths yesterday, covid-19 is now the leading cause of death in the USA, ahead of heart disease and cancer. More people died yesterday from covid-19 than cancer. Let that sink in.

We are still not doing nearly enough testing. It needs to be double what it is now to keep up.

[lakerboy]

Lol, yes, I am aware of why the country was shut down. It would seem that many sbr posters still are not, however.

my old lady just told me that the supermarket is NOW making masks and gloves MANDATORY. 2 weeks too late fckers!

Unreal, more than cancer and heart disease. I remember folks saying "more people dye from flu, blah blah blah" like chimps.

You do that...
Ok??
Go out and live life to the fullest..
Can't say I will miss these stupid ass threads in 6 weeks when you are too sick to post..
Time for you to get in touch with reality..
Might even help you handicap some winners when this is over with..

Heart disease, cancer... Those aren't even valid comparisons since they are not contagious

[d2bets]

Heart disease, cancer... Those aren't even valid comparisons since they are not contagious

True. But it does help put it in some context.

There literally is no comparison. Not since 1918 anyway.

[Emily_Haines]

Heart disease, cancer

They count these deaths as covid now to inflate the numbers and take your freedoms away.
