Is The U.S. Ready to Reopen? 

Well 1/3 of the country is poor and doesn't have a choice.

A wonderful Life19: The country will crash if closed for too long so hell yes.

A brilliant mind can survive anything!

Just the opposite. Many don't have savings, or those that did have used those savings. How do you expect people to pay bills, buy food, etc. without working? Those with savings can hold out for longer. Many people like me only had 3 months of expenses saved, or even less. I'm self-employed, so I have to work. No government assistance, no unemployment (unless my company goes bankrupt), and I didn't qualify for the $1200. So self-employed, small business owners, and those without any savings have to work. You can't sit back and hope the government sends you a check; you have to go out and make your own money to cover your living expenses.

And you are correct lol we're gonna be living in a real dystopia for awhile.

When this was taking off in the US in march, I saw some estimates that left unchecked , the ENTIRE US population would be infected in about 3 weeks at SARS-CoV-2's infection rate. That's why this is such a terrifying force to be reckoned with, and why it's so important to get it under control. 1.6 Million current cases (May 21). Reopening the Economy (Fully, Nationwide) 330 Million cases by June 11 . at 5% mortality rate, you're looking at approximately 15 Million deaths in this scenario by July (150x the current 100,000 deaths). What's that going to do to Trump's Reelection chances?

And Mexico

Good, leave and don't come back.

Testing. Without it we are fighting blind. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

@@GreenishlyGreen I'll agree to that. But you have to understand for us lower middle class folks this lockdown is unsustainable.

Well yes, but the USA kind of flunked the 'flatten the curve' part compared to other countries. Active case numbers in the USA are still on the rise where in Central Europe they've been falling for weeks.

If you want to follow the "flatten the curve over a long period of time" plan, then you need to define "a long period of time". For the best medical results, that would probably be between 6 months and 2 years. However long it takes to develop a vaccine, really. We can't fully put this behind us until we reach herd immunity. For obvious reasons, that plan isn't fully implementable in the real world, so a compromise has had to be made.

@@Bertinator-nm9ld we haven't proven that there is a herd immunity for this disease.

Well you need a dickhead manager that hangs over your shoulder while you work while harassing the women duh, can't do that working at home.

ParadoxFreak work from home should’ve been implemented a long time ago it’s so useless to spend time getting ready and sitting in the car at the same time as everybody else burning time on the road and then going to OPEN space Work environment only to be distracted all day and get nothing done…

I understand your thought process, but unfortunately unless you live alone and interact with 0 human beings it's extremely likely that 'if you get it' you could spread it to other people as well. I'm glad that you have been able to find some peace amongst this virus, but please don't allow that to translate into negligence. Your actions, as well as the actions of your neighbors are what will determine the outcome of this virus in your community.

@@steelersfan419 Exactly! This type thinking is why the virus may continue to spread to others! How one person reacts differs in another. Yet people R hardheaded, probably wont wear a mask, they R selfish & dont think about others. The "if they get it they get it" mentality means others may be affected, including kids, which is heartless thinking, all because people R " bored" or " tired of being home".

​ Fancy Girl She Actually a couple of counter arguments I would like to bring up. The first is that even though there are certain benefits to wearing the mask which we've all already heard about again and again, there are also detriments to mask wearing that are being censored and not reported in mainstream and wearing masks can actually CAUSE sickness in people as you are fostering an enclosed environment where bacteria can become trapped inside especially in the summer heat and humidity. You are also breathing in C02 AND hampering a degree of your oxygen intake which can lead to a myriad of health issues on its own. The other argument is that some people including myself think that with a 0.03% chance of death (probably even way less if you factor in all the reported false positives, inflated death numbers, and untested people that just had mild or no symptoms), herd immunity would actually be a far better strategy and we wouldn't be dragging out the misery like we are now with damaging societal changes, economic collapse, and job loss which are no doubt killing far more people and causing far more damage then this overblown wirus. Economic crashing, suicide , depression and mental health issues sharply spiking, domestic issues skyrocketing, people treating each other like they are lepers, poverty, job loss, etc. I could go on and on about how this whole reactiveness to it has been, and continues to be a 1000 times worse then the actual thing we know nothing about other then what is being told to us. But hopefully you get the idea at this point. None of this was ever worth it in my opinion.

@@steelersfan419 you can also catch a cold/flu - there’s no escape - living life is inevitable / you cannot suffocate 7 Billion of the World with Masks any longer - under a microscope it’s disgusting - and nobody opens their minds enough - this “virus” can easily shape shift and the whole planet would be oblivious to it - it can get smaller if it wants to, no matter how many masks you got on - that’s what I think, but my opinion is considered “fake science”, “conspiracy theory”, “non credible source”

@@fancygirlshe4169 my family caught it and recovered after a month. And the deaths are due to other illnesses and diseases, not covid. This is all corruption. All exaggerated - All fear program for better news ratings and sinister agendas Too conspiracy theorist for ya? - ALL favoritism, spoon fed information. Emotional Control. Mental Control. It’s an ACT - and now you’ll probably compare me to a Q trump supporter or tin foil hat person. Stop getting manipulated by a news reporter saying “Look at the red line spiking up! Do you see it! Science cannot be denied! Look! Experts have said this and that! Don’t listen to others! They’re conspiracy theorists! Think of your neighbor and family! Don’t be selfish!” This moral compass manipulation is a broken record looping. Step outside of it and notice the censorship, the actors who are pretending to be “conspiracy theorists” or whatever role they play. Even if there weren’t any actors crying on camera due to a covid death, they can easily be used by parasites that NEVER CARED ABOUT LIFE - they are control freaks and anti-life bots.

ayush kumar: Wishful thinking

@Arctic Donkey Well, that's just not true. *COVID-19 is 20 times more deadly than the flu* www.livescience.com/covid-19-deaths-vs-flu-deaths.html

Arctic Donkey the death rate is about 2-3%, so in worst case millions will die in years

Yeah that was an interesting example to say the least.

@Darkzeroprojects Well if it is like 1920, then that's not too bad. The Depression of 1920/21 was hard, short, and recovered quickly, partly thanks to a Wilson who suffered a stroke and could do nothing and Harding who believed in markets. It was worse than 1907 and the first months of it were comparably worse than the first months of the Great Depression (which only exceeded 10% unemployment after Smoot-Hawley). So I'll take 1920/21.

On the bright side you'll die rich :D

depends on your retiring time line. on a long enough time scale your savings will recover along with the economy. My savings have taken a big hit too, but i will recover them over time. Things won't be like they would have if the pandemic never happened, but i will manage to grow my savings again. My parents, who are on the verge of retiring, have lost a lot during this time. A lot of those "when we finally retire" dreams are vanishing to just keeping some needed things going.

Worry = Mind Enslavement Live Life and Think for Yourself - choose your info wisely and hear the same repetitive labels, phrases, biases, preconceived notions....

Then why not open now then prepare for flu season?

The Last Danite Very true. Some countries that locked down too well like the UK are getting hit with a massive second wave now. A second wave may never come for all we know due to the horrible lack of testing and fact that so much of America has been infected already

ad636051 trust me when I tell you that it’s not that serious for the majority of people. And the minority of individuals that actually can get hurt from this virus should stay indoors. Everyone else should get back to work.

We kinda HAVE to reopen businesses.We have to go back and make money. But it's not just that, what about the national debt, we CANNOT let the debt get bigger than the national gdp.But if we don't work the government will have to print more money that will lead to inflation and after that, well, God help us all.

Not sure how they correlate? I mean you could say that it is the largest number in a single day but they never give the rest of the facts. How many tests were done that day, how many people recovered, how many tested negative, how many got turned away from getting tested? They hide 90% of the numbers to make it seem worse than it is.

@@Cadaverine1990 Not sure where you live, or what state, but her in Pennsylvania I can easily obtain the total number of tests, total numbers of positive tests, and total deaths.

Where?? We are getting way below that :/

@@KatiuskaWook The value is all over the map. I've never heard of anyone getting the full amount though.

I'm self-employed, thus don't qualify for any government assistance. I couldn't get that $1200, and my state won't say I'm unemployed because technically I employ myself. So luckily I had 3 months of expenses saved up like you are supposed to (cough...airline industry...cough), but that is about dried up. Self employed and small businesses have to work, otherwise we can't pay bills. That's a financial risk we take for not relying on government benefits and only paying into taxes, but usually it means you are able to control your own paycheck. But if the economy is shut down, we can't do anything.

​@@skywishr1313 the average covid death age is around life expectancy (true world wide). Most people we see dying in a short concentrated time now would have left us within short time anyway. While relatively sped up, it has a large overlap with the annual expected deaths. Numbers from the Imperial Collage in London suggest that for all ages it simply takes your normal chance for dying within a given year and squeezes them down into a 3 week period, but your overall chance don't actually increase.

We’d be open right now if guns cured covid

Well the US economy is like a Corvette. Fast and powerful, but no safety. It's great when speeding down the highway, but when it crashes, it's pretty bad. EU economies are like a Volvo or Subaru. Steady, consistent, not flashy but it comes with great safety features. So, yes, the US was never ready to be closed; it's not designed to be closed. It's regulations and laws mean it is efficient, lean and goes full-throttle, but with a lack of a safety net. That whole risk/reward system...we Americans lean towards risk for the potential upside but the downside becomes much worse.

Nice spectator

Country wasn't shutdown though. So no it never happened.

The Spanish Flu was a lot more deadly and quick. The 14 day incubation period is what makes COVID so much more difficult to get rid of in a short period of time. I know in 1918 the town where I grew up only needed to shut down for three weeks during the peak of the virus. That was all that was needed because most of the people who got it got really sick or died within a day or two rather than walking around for 14 days aysmptomatic spreading the virus.

Yes, this pandemic is now being compared to the pandemic of 1918-1920 rather than with the swine flu of the early 2000's - it's looking that bad. Deaths will be close in numbers even though it's a different disease but it has similarities and of course just like in 1918, there is no immunity so you would think we could learn from history. Problem is, do we actually teach history anymore?

Why should we? Its survival of the fittest honey. Get with the program. Its every man for himself

@Baz Trading It will be like the economic crisis Germany faced post WW1. The treaty of versailles asked the Germans to pay a large amount in war reparations, so they printed more money. The printing of more money led to almost no value to the reichsmarks. In fact it was so worthless that people burned it in fireplaces for warmth, as well as for their transportation, like cars. A loaf of bread would be a BILLION reichsmarks due to extreme inflation when they printed money. That was called hyperinflation.

Yes but those making that kind of salary would qualify for unemployment. Everyone I know that made 32k and above yearly got about $312 a week unemployment and with the additional federal $600 that would be about $3600 a month which equals to $43,200 a year if it went that long.

I'm self-employed and didn't qualify for the $1200 or any unemployment from my state. I've been living off my savings, as you are supposed to have 3 months of expenses saved up. I'm not the only one, many contractors like me, graphic designers, coders, real estate agents, etc are in the same boat. We are technically not unemployed and receive no benefits, and come to think of it never have gotten any welfare aside from a small pell grant in college. We only pay into taxes, and will have to be the ones shouldering this burden. So we have to get back to work, otherwise we can't pay bills because we receive no government assistance.
