Again, the flu is endemic. it can’t be contained, only mitigated.
The Wuhanic Plague was containable, but China blew it and now containment efforts will only slow it down for a while, hopefully buying us time for countermeasures.
How many would be dead without those containment efforts?
You guys that think soon we’ll be a full blown communist dictatorship after this is over are the real sheeple. These restrictions are temporary and only an idiot thinks they will last very long, even if the virus does its worst. Gaslighting each other and denying math and science. Foolish.
How many people do you think will now work from home permanently? How many people do you think will finally pull the trigger on homeschooling? How many people will now go for their job of choice rather than the one they were stuck in? The result of this is going to be to clear a lot of dead wood from the lane. Yeah, there is and will be turmoil, and too many dead, but you should embrace it and move the things that support Conservatism forward instead of whining about it.
Wuhanic Plague - I like that!
“These restrictions are temporary”
No, they are permanent powers now. Before all this, no one in their right mind would allow the government to selectively close businesses due to the flu.
