Remember this episode?

>WHO says COVID19 may never go away
>Says we may just have to learn to live with it
>This may genuinely be the new norm
I'm really hoping that this virus pulls a Spanish Flu and either evolves to a less deadly strain as the year goes on, or mostly dies out with the Summer. Or both. I'm not even a social person and I could very happily continue to live this shut-in life style, but I know most of the world isn't like that, and that this is fucking wrecking a lot of people.

What we've got here is failure to communicate.

its definitely up there. i think my favorite episode was probably the one where TJ tries everything to get a kid to like him but in the end learns that some people will just never like you for no good reason

Also, the Gus Episode about not telling is good.

lol, no user, its gonna be like this until they can sythesis a vaccine for it. this is similar to other corona strains, but its new. It will take time to produce it, a year at least. The entirety of humanity's science is working around the clock on it. Just keep washing your hands, stay away from large gatherings and you and everyone else will be fine. If you're very young, you really have nothing to worry about just dont get grandma and grandpa sick.

Really the main issue is US not having mass testing. Sciences says we should be doing over a million testing a day but we can hardly do over 200,000. Which is the biggest problem right now. Until a vaccine is developed testing is really the only thing that should be done while under lockdown. Since it can find who has it and who might have it. Because of how few testing is being done in the US opening things up is the worse thing that they could do. And in a month or two you are going to see another massive spike in cases/death.

If it actually becomes a permanent recurring disease and no vaccine is found in the near-term they're probably just going to let people go out and risk the deaths at that point, since the damage of keeping things shut down for literally years would ultimately be even worse. The population would probably just start to self-isolate anyway if things got really, really bad.

I genuinely want the virus to lay waste to half of the earth's population. india and china shouldn't be in the billions.

I dont see it going away for years, itll get better as the time goes on and a vacine is made but this thing is here to stay for a while.

Except most of the death are going to be in white countries. Asian countries are able to do enough testing to able to understand hot spots and handle it there. European and US didn't lockdown fast enough and the level of testing they isn't near what it needs while they are now doing "phase 1" of opening up and even than they have no idea how to do it.

Not gonna lie, I'm hoping we lose more people here in the US. Only thing that sucks is we lose doctors and nurses too.

Fine to say it. Just saying Asian countries are in a much better shape than western.

And even than it's mostly poor/blacks that are going to be killed since they are most likely already in a unhealthy position and are also tends to be the essential workers.

>WHO says
Disregarded.

My parents are doctors

Fuck you and fuck your reductive population control bullshit

>And in a month or two you are going to see another massive spike in cases/death.
Calling that bullshit Jim.

Not him but Wisconsin opening back up literally in the middle of their largest daily rate of increases seems like bad news, I can easily see this shit blowing back up from local governments being retarded.

>are also tends to be the essential workers
You mean "ignored the warnings and keep having mass gatherings", right?

Ah yes, TJ's no-no square

I really don't think the vaccine is happening, user. They've been trying to come up with one for similar viruses for the past two or three decades and never managed.

Grocery store workers and fast food workers are all count as essential and are most likely poor and lots are black/brown people. And have shit health care and because of cost they most likely skipped things like physicals. Plus poorer areas tend to have poorer air which leads to them being more likely to suffer asthma than others.
>Shortage of testing
>States having massive spikes of hospital visits for corona leading to death at this moment
>States are opening their businesses open
Not only that but some might cross state boarders which would lead to even worse things happening. And since it takes around a month of catching it before hospitalization is needed (if you are the unlucky one to need it) wait and see how late June to early July in those states like Florida that has all those beaches open.

Source?
Im more likely to believe its panicked fear-mongering to prevent states from slowly opening back up and prospering while the big citys flounder

Shortage of testing because its more helpful to quarantine.
Citys you mean. A quick glance at independent and even mainstream news will show mentions of hospitals being empty in non urban areas.
Yes and they should. Cannot rely on releif bills forever, especially when the dems are so intent of forcing pork into them.. seriously what the fuck are they thinking with that?
Overall its not that deadly a sickness. Its a worse than normal flu.
Yes, we should take caution. But its not a black death or spanish flu.

I figured you'd try and reject the claims by refuting the source, here's four more sites saying the same thing from all over the spectrum. Literally just google "Wisconsin coronavirus" for more

Props for at least having various sources.
>bars
Okay who the fuck goes to a bar during a phase 1 opening?

People who haven't been able to go for the last two months. It's their own fault for keeping them shut down for the last few months instead of letting them stay open to a limited degree. I know here in Minnesota they're suing the Governor for that.

Retards. The general population is full of retards user. They're literally flooding into packed places where they consume an abundance of something that represses immune system response, you'd genuinely have to be retarded to do this. Wisconsin has 5.8 million people so even if only 1% of the population was that retarded that's still 58,000 people.

Yeah, but they're people under 60, so they'll probably be fine.

>People over 60 don't go to bars
>Nobody under 60 has contact with people over 60 that they might spread it to
I wish I lived in your world

I get that, and thats why restaurants are fucking souring in opening states, but even then they operate at like 1/3 capacity. Some allow more with takeout.
Meh, thats actually not that bad number wise. Idiots yes, but not a crisis

>Shortage of testing because its more helpful to quarantine.
Quarantine is good but every scientist says testing is the key because it can help see where virus spread than just wait and see as people flood the hospitals
>Citys you mean. A quick glance at independent and even mainstream news will show mentions of hospitals being empty in non urban areas.
It's almost like over half the population lives in cities
>Yes and they should. Cannot rely on releif bills forever, especially when the dems are so intent of forcing pork into them.. seriously what the fuck are they thinking with that?
Issue is more that Dems and Rep are just pushing money into companies without any of the requirement to keep employment like most European countries. So they are just taking the money firing everyone
>Overall its not that deadly a sickness. Its a worse than normal flu.
The issue isn't really just that it kills you but that it overburden hospitals. Say a hospital can only take 100 people. 100 people with the virus comes in what about everyone else that needs the ICU? That's the biggest problem not really people dying from the virus.
>Yes, we should take caution. But its not a black death or spanish flu.
Black Death happened because of lack of any knowledge of hygiene. Spanish flu is more likely how this will go about. Maybe not as much of a killer but that's mostly because of better infrastructure in many ways and better medical equipment.
