I had no idea you were also an epidemiologist.
How are you gonna deal with the two week incubation period. Brother, this is a recipe for disaster.

Masks gloves hand sani and disinfectant ALL help. Only a 3 man crew and 2 of us live in the same house. I don't have to be around anyone except the guys I work with...and the warehouse we get supplies from. Have to wipe everything down twice. When we get it and after we install it. I am ready for war. This has to end. We can't be expected to stay home forever. Nothing is coordinated enough anyway. This will come back no matter how long we wait. Get the healthcare system fixed!! We slowed it down...we need to get back to work and have the vulnerable stay at home. This is not going anywhere until medicine catches up to it. No matter how long we stay home. Doing irreparable damage to the economy and the dollar itself...which is basically on life support right now. It's been 2 months....for a 14 day incubation period.
I hate to sound mean...but...enough is enough. If we don't know by now who needs protection...really? We know how to fight it on more than 1 front. Masks...gloves sanitizer used properly...disinfectant(no injection)...social distancing....Stay home if necessary. I haven't been working but I've been food shopping...so...it's not a perfect lockdown for most anyway.
How long can we stay locked down?

Sounds like you got things under control with minimal contact. But check this out

As restrictions are loosened, cases go up. Numbers don’t lie. This won’t end until there is herd immunity, through a vaccine or destruction. A vaccine in enough quantities that ends up working is at least a year to a year and a half away.
God speed, man!

Yeah...vaccine up to year and a half away. Herd immunity...even longer. So...you propose stay at home orders until then? That's not even close to realistic. So...why are we waiting?

and Addidas baseball hat. I’m parked right in front of the boat dock so when we get out we walk onto to sidewalk right there and begin walking. My dog stops us to smell dog urine from one of the lamp posts when these four women in their late 30s/early 40s are walking towards me with no masks on. They could have easily created some space by simply stepping off the sidewalk and onto the adjacent empty parking spaces, but noooooooo. They had to walk directly at me to show that they weren’t going to let my desire for appropriate social distancing interfere with their god-given freedom to do whatever the fck they want. So as they walked past me, I shot The Wingo Death Stare at them. Then the one loud mouth south shore hillbilly turns back at me after they past me and starts giving me an earful. (I couldn’t hear what she was specifically saying to me bc I had Free Falling by Tim Petty on my headset But I had an idea.) So I said “Oh, Trump MAGA whores. Come back and get in my my face without a mask and see what happens to yours!” Fortunately, they kept walking. These fakers are everywhere out here.

It’s still too early, imho.
You’ll love this. I just got back from taking my dog to Wantagh Park for a walk On the path. I drive in and there’s a big electric traffic sign saying that social distancing protocols apply at the park.
I get out of my car with my face mask on and, of course, my cool looking athletic prescription shades

I would say the split is about 50/50. 1/2 thinks its a hoax the other is taking this seriously. When someone they know gets really sick or (god forbid) dies I expect the naysayers will flip over like a light switch.
That's when they picked up the pace.

I think you're right about the split. But that's way too high imo. These women were so obnoxious. Just flaunting their ignorance in my face. I'm still thinking about it because I can have a quick fuse under the wrong set of circumstances. I told her to come close to me again and I'd spit in her face.
I have a number of run-in with these imbeciles over the last two month and beginning to reach my limit.
The Bishop thought "God" would protect him. I guess God's busy hanging out at the local strip club.

Anybody but her would've beaten Trump, but they had to manipulate the party and shove Clinton into everybody's faces. I hated them both and abstained from voting, I would have never chosen the "lesser of two evils" because that's not how elections should be. I don't even feel bad that Trump is the president because America deserves this. Both sides (the left and the right) deserve this for picking such horrible leaders.
This is such a bad take. The Democrats didn’t force anything. The Democratic Party voters overwhelming preferred Hillary over Bernie just like they overwhelmingly preferred Biden. There was no forcing. This was not a lesser of two evils situations, this was pure evil against an overwhelmingly qualified woman that’s also a genuinely good person. Donald Trump showed that he was a racist, incompetent, rapist **** before the election. You should be fortunate that you’re in a privileged position to sit out elections. Not the same for all the people who needlessly need to die and have their lives ruined under a Trump Presidency. But hey you sure showed them.
I'm not gonna vote for a candidate I despise, even if it means a person I despise more becomes president. The system is broken. Give me a candidate worth voting for and I'll vote. There is nothing wrong with that logic. You have to expect more from your politicians, Republicans, Democrats, they all suck. Do better. Sure, I was "fortunate" I can sit out elections, whatever that means.
