people need to get used to it, even once we even surpass / get this under control our economies we'll never be the same for had and good.
This many economic crisis close together? fukk normal
i think theres still gonna be the hunger for public life. bars, sports events, etc

but the office work economy has changed forever, there's no way these companies arent all crunching the numbers and :snoop: at how much money they're wasting on office space. and with that, all those employees not working in offices means less happy hours/lunches at the surrounding businesses, less car repairs and gas consumption, just an enormous amount of effects like that

excellent read, pulled some quotes

:francis:

"If we’re not going into the fall with a huge running start in terms of having cases at very, very low levels … we run the risk of having uncontrollable outbreaks,” said Michael Mina, an epidemiologist at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

:francis:

While this is our first fall with SARS-2, experts believe that its activity could accelerate as temperatures drop, as is the case with other viruses, including the four coronaviruses that cause common colds. These viruses survive longer in cold, dry settings, tied to a measure called absolute humidity

:damn:

The deeper impact of college closures could come if schools don’t sequester students before sending them home. Absent that, they could spray the virus across the country like shrapnel.

:mjcry:

This recession stands out for how quickly the economy cratered and for how it devastated select industries while leaving others unscathed. It’s also amplified the divide between white-collar workers who could slide into working from home, and lower-wage employees, many of whom lost their jobs or risked infection at their workplaces
.

:francis:


In some places, movie theaters and gyms and indoor dining came back, even as local viral levels were deemed too high for in-person teaching. “We’re making choices that don’t necessarily make a lot of sense,” said Zoë McLaren, a health policy expert at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

:mjcry:

To be clear, there is a small but legitimate possibility that, should one of the vaccine candidates be wildly effective, clinical trials could demonstrate that by the end of October. Executives at Pfizer have said they could have results by then. But most experts think that the requisite data won’t be available until later

:huhldup:
November: Covid, meet flu
In 2018, so many people came down with the flu that Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley Health Network threw up tents to handle the influx of patients. In April of this year, the hospital almost had to turn operating rooms into ICUs for Covid-19 patients. The question for Lehigh Valley is: What would a double whammy look like?

:picard:

Doctors often don’t even test for flu and diagnose a case based on an exam, but they won’t be able to do that this year. Some tests that detect both viruses are being rolled out, but the urgency to tell if someone has flu or Covid-19 or both — with implications for isolation and contact tracing — could worsen bottlenecks.

:mjcry:

Black, Pacific Islander, Indigenous, and Latino Americans all have age-adjusted Covid-19 death rates triple that of white Americans.

:picard:

Protection from the coronaviruses that cause colds is thought to generally last about a year; immunity after SARS or MERS for a few years. If Covid-19 is like its cousins, come early next year, a wave of the pandemic’s earliest patients might see their immunity start to wane

Office space money is interesting, as many companies are also realising a drop in job satisfaction due to people having to balance work and childcare as well.

Loads of companies are still going to have to find the right balance, as a full office is going to be a thing of the past soon.
