Someone referred to all our social distancing efforts and the associated economic impacts as a temporary transfer of wealth and energy from the young and healthy to the old and infirm... and that there will come a time when the young and healthy will demand it be transferred back — because life needs to move on and livelihoods must be earned. I suspect that will happen by the time school starts in the fall.
From my anecdotal experience, no. I am attending a university, and all of my classes have been changed to a distance learning/online format. Technically, I will get credit for these classes as long as I do not fail them. Students at this university that were graduating this semester, will still graduate, just not with a ceremony.
But what everyone else is doing is basically in line with what Austria and Italy (for now) are doing. You are allowed to go outside, just not in groups.
That's like saying "Oh, I think I'll kick myself in the nuts today."
And now everyone will go out in pairs of two and you have 5 couples within 10 metres like yesterday in dusseldorf.
in italy you can't go outside, even alone , if you don't have something urgent to do like go to the doctor or buy food.
My ADHD ass was terrible at getting homework done, so I depended on nailing final exams to get my grades up. That's gonna be awful for kids like I was.
I'm also going to assume after everything is said and done almost anyone is getting into college. Universities will need to make up lost revenue if this goes on for a few semesters. Like right now everything has switched to online classes but what about summer semester? What about Fall semester? Are they going to see people pulling out because schools remain closed?
Wtf is this post? They didn't engineer the virus and are more at risk of dying from it. Weird things to be upset at baby boomers for.
I will say the same thing about Phil Murphy in NJ. Taking a vigilant, yet realistic approach to the virus will pay dividends in the long run.
Please understand that what you're referencing is in a laboratory setting under specific conditions. Is there non-zero chance that it could be spread how you're describing? Yes. Is that risk so low that every expert says going outside for a walk while generally staying away from people is okay? Also yes.
You should be upset at your government rather than old people.
Did the same, bought a new pack, smoked two.... Then soaked the rest of the pack in water. It's not worth it.
He also said a clinical trial beginning Tuesday of a treatment regimen of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin is happening. I am praying that it shows significant efficacy. I really hope it does.
to be frank, if i think i got the virus, and i dont feel like im going to die i aint going to the hospital with all the potential carriers.
If neither of you are immunocompromised, and you don't have strong underlying health issues, I'd say the only way to expect her to isolate is to be willing to cover not just expenses while staying home, but also down the line if she can't find work as a result.
Some famous streamers got banned for such dumb statements from Twitch (which says a lot). I wonder if we should ban such comments from Era as well.
I'm in Bavaria and you can still go for a walk or go for a run anytime. But it seems like most people are reasonable and go for the the least crowded places. Maybe those public announcements from fire trucks that randomly drive around helps in this regard. They at least put some "emotional pressure" onto everyone.
