The key will be if everyone sees the stay at home working and decides to actually stay home. If they see it working and think they can start doing things again, it'll prolong things.
That’s what’s odd. Are people actually staying home? Sure they aren’t going to work but you see all the other stories. You see the crowds at Wal mart Costco etc. You hear the chiding from Birx and Fauci saying we need to shut the World down for a month etc.
Again, I’ve been and remain optimistic that these numbers we’ve been told are going to be much higher than we actually see. Especially now that we are seeing stories of how “Coronavirus Death’s” are being categorized
Around here people are going out much less. There are a lot of unconfirmed reports out there that show cell phone data is saying those in lower class and rural areas aren't changing their habits much. Those haven't been proven by any reliable source but it is out there.
Regardless, mass gatherings aren't happening in most of the country. That alone has got to be slowing things down a bit.
Yeah we are saying the same thing differently. My cousin who lives in Battery Park says she’s never seen it this quiet and empty. And she lived in Manhattan during 9/11. But around here not much has changed.
Yes concerts, churches, sporting events etc have gone away and I’m sure that’s helped.
To play devils advocate there’s a growing school of thought that isolation is the wrong thing to do. But I’m not quite there with this virus. Simply because it’s got a lot of quirks about it (obviously inserted by the DNC
)
