Let's keep it a brick. If and when NYC and some of the other states/cities that are deemed a "success" start to reopen we're gonna see cases rise again. There is nothing material that has changed about the virus. I think all the shyt slinging is counter-productive.
Part of it issue is the state and the rush to get back to normal but part of it is people as well. I was in NYC last weekend helping family move out and in BK I saw enough people moving around like there wasn't a virus.
No economy can remain shut down forever. That is just a fact.
It'll really come to a point in time where Covid-19 just becomes like the flu that we have to deal with. That is until there's a vaccine.
There is no dealing with this like it's the flu. Hospitals will be overran because of covid. People with non covid related ailments will be afraid to go seek medical help. First responders will ran into the ground physically and mentally. Many will catch it themselves. People will become too sick to work and too scared to shop. I'm a NYC firemen I witnessed this shyt first hand. One guy I work with has a nervous breakdown from all the CPR. Another guy 30 years old, was out 6 weeks, even after the covid cleared up he got winded walking around his block, winded fukking walking. I've done CPR on people afraid to tell us their dead relative had it out of fear we wouldn't help. I've heard stories of guys doing CPR on the dead father in front of their teenager children and hearing someone coughing up a lung in another room only to find out thats the mom and she has the covid even worse than dead dad did. I was working 24 hours on 24 hours off because so many guys I worked with got it. THIS shyt AINT THE fukkING FLU.
This country could've dealt with this like a mature adult. We could've closed down like NY, not politicize wearing a fukking mask, and we could've, gotten back to some semblance of fukking normalcy. Yes there would be a lot of pain, yes a lot of businesses would go under, but we could've if contained it somewhat. But No, this is 'Murica, some pain isn't good enough, we wanna go out like Pesci at the end of casino. The death and financial devastation is going to be a lot worse than if we just closed the fukk down like we should've. People don't realize it, it's already over, the country is completely fukked now because people wanted to treat this like the fukking flu.
