“It’s going to get easier though. Say we are 6 weeks down the road from now. 20% of population has had it and resolved. Cases are declining due to social distancing measures. The health system is holding up.
Area by area, they can ease or tighten restrictions, or go to a full on movement stop, based on trying to maintain an acceptable level of infections.
It will be a strange time. Restaurants are open, then they are closed for two weeks (those businesses, and many others, will have a hard time adjusting) Schools are open for a time, then closed for two weeks, then opened again.
More and more as the percentage of population that’s had it resolves, restrictions will become less necessary. Those who have had it and cleared can be given a “green light” status, i.e. they can move about at any time. You might even see jobs become available just for those people with resolved cases.”
That’s a really good summary, and seems to synch up with the fun in Wuhan. I doubt our ‘wizards’ on Wall Street have worked through this (at all), so I do expect a bit more downside from them...but there ‘might’ be a light at the end of the tunnel, even if takes a long time to reach it.
My 20-something son who is certified in mold and asbestos remediation, says if he gets it and recovers he will be in high demand. I told him don’t go trying to get it!
The problem seems to be that we’ve had it so good for so long that when we are inconvenienced in some way, most people whine and cry like little girls.
Hello, we have been the most pampered and spoiled generation ever and now we are getting the wake up call that life is not all bread and circuses.
Sometimes we have to make sacrifices instead of living the entitlement mentality lifestyle we have become accustomed to.
