Let's face it, we can never go out again. It just isn't completely safe.
The virus ain’t gone, folks.
Not going away just because a bunch of extroverts got tired of living in an introvert world.
The “we cannot re-open the country!” stories will be relentless between now and 5/1.
As long as we don’t overwhelm the hospitals, it should be free choice. If you want to go out, do so. If not, stay in.
Could happen here too... But staying locked down is a potential catastrophe. I’d like to think there has been a background buildup of “herd immunity” to dampen it down, but who knows>?
I noticed the sizeable rise in the number of cases a few weeks ago, after Japan had brought them nearly to a halt.
The deaths/case rate had risen to 3.5%, as the # sick had fallen to a bit over 70%. Now the deaths/case has fallen to 2% due to the rate of spread increasing, while the # still sick has risen to 88%.
As the HIV virus has been here for forty years and more spent on HIV research tha. Any other virus in our history, and as there is still no vaccine, I propose holding our breaths till it arrives may not be wise.
Its moronic.
“It’s worth noting that Governor’s in Japan don’t have the same police powers to keep people home as Governors in America.”
False.
Governors in America can only keep us at home while we percieve it is in our own interest.
After that, all bets are off. There are still enough of us with a load of FU in our veins.
A ‘state of emergency’ is not a lock down... Businesses continue on, restaurants and bars stay open... And life goes on with the advice to social distance and to wear mask... It is against the law in Japan to force businesses to close.
Regardless... 125 million people in a very congested area and the death totals so far for Japan... 190 deaths.
They aren’t going to turn into New York City anytime soon, or ever for that matter.
New York City... 8.4 million... 11,447 deaths.
Japan... No lock downs and a minuscule amount of deaths... New York... Lock downs and a multitude of death.
They wear mask and prevented air travel... They won, the world lost. The flu happens in winter because we are stuck indoors due to bad weather and all the hoping and praying by the leftist media for Japan and Sweden to turn into Corona Chinese Italian Covid-19 death locations central will never happen.
Let's face it, we can never go out again. It just isn't completely safe.
He said restaurants and bars were open and things seemed pretty normal, then he had to quarantine for 2 weeks in the Houston area.
It would seem that while maintaining the draconian measure may not be necessary, it is also important for folks to do what they canto minimize their own risks.
As a dear, departed friend, who was in the Africa campaign during WWII used to say, "It takes eternal vigilance"...
The bright side is that my friend had some extra N95 masks ...
International travel, by Japanese and non-Japanese, to Japan and from Japan and back. More and more strict Wuhan virus testing at port’s of entry.

A son of a nephew of mine is working in Japan. He recently obtained a new job that is in a small village (2,000 people) outside of small town (10,000 people) about an hour from a larger city (Nagano). He has moved for the job but not actually started the job yet.
The town and the village both have Wuhan virus rules of their own. Newcomers - Japanese and non-Japanese - taking a job or residence must automatically self-quarantine for 14 days during which they will be tested at the end of each of the two weeks. Those are those towns’ rules. Not “national” rules. Other towns, cities and counties have their rules.
