Will coronavirus lockdown in US be extended?
    #26585909 - 04/08/20 09:07 AM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Trump issued a lockdown until April 30th, though some states have issued longer lockdowns.  Do you think it will be extended as a nation?

Yeah, this thing isn't going away in 3 weeks. It's going to be MUCH longer.

We are not even through the first part of the 2nd quarter yet, then 2-3 weeks after Easter it will explode again is my prediction.
Then as the food supply starts to get hit, which it is right now, and possibly break down; many will start showing there true colors.

I would expect another wave of panic buying as well coupled with 60% having Easter as normal.
It is going to be a domino effect.

Prepare for the worst but stay optimistic and hope for the best.

So many small business's here are struggling.  including the one i work for.

Its sad to see.  idk how much longer some business's can last with no foot traffic/sales but still got rent and overhead to pay.

It will be extended, and there will be pretty much mass hysteria by the end of April.

So far, covid has been relatively limited to cities, but over the last week, it's started spreading to rural areas. Rural areas that have even worse access to medical resources. For now, it's mostly hitting marginalized populations and rural minorities, but it will rapidly spread to rural whites.

This means that it will start hitting Republicans, which are going to be very, very confused. They will need answers, and so Fox news will give them answers. Probably blame the cities and Democrats for "hoarding" all the medical supplies. Now, remember that Fox News is the biggest of the many mass media companies in the US, which is why you will see straight up hysteria. Instead of ~30% of US media freaking out about covid, it will be the full 100% as soon as Fox joins in.

Small businesses are universally fucked. Get out while you can. If you're an owner, sell it to the big conglomerate now, because you're gonna sell it for pennies on the dollar in a month. If you're a big conglomerate, or have a pile of cash on hand (like me) you should wait as long as possible and then start buying up cheap property once people start having to choose between mortgages and food.

It will be extended but people are overestimating who really gets locked down. In Illinois bars and restaurants are closed, as is public gatherings. But employers can do what they want. My friend works at Weathertech which makes auto floor mats and cell phone holders that fit into cup holders. The company is doing really well. My friend was off work for 2 weeks with pay but they reopened this last Monday. No argument can be made that it's an essential industry.

In Wisconsin however, they are forcing nonessential businesses to close.

Some business publication just estimated that 43% of small businesses will go under.

That's probably an underestimate. They're either trying to soften the blow as with the stock market crash, or they're in abject disbelief.

Shelter in place is designed to limit the spread.

Everything I've heard about treatment or vaccination sounds to be quite a few months out, possibly a year and that's no guarantee.

So I don't see what is going to be different by the end of April...

If shelter in place is necessary now, it seems that it'll be necessary until some treatment or vaccination is figured out. Who knows when that'll be.

Best case timeline for a vaccine would be around 18 months, based on people that actually know their shit (Dr. Fauci, my virologist buddy).

Shelter in place will end before the virus does (but later than it has to go, due to hysteria), and I'd say 50/50 chance that from now on we have a winter flu season and a spring/summer coronavirus season.

Look at the reality. The only way to effectively control the virus is to get cases down to 0. From there we need to continue heavy restrictions and monitoring to ensure nobody brings it in or gets reinfected. We basically have to do that until a vaccine is widely distributed. Short of that, opening up will only cause the virus to cause havoc yet again. Most likely scenario: We'll be seeing some kind of lockdown or restrictions well into 2021.

Just to clarify, the poster you quoted has already backed down on his claim that Trump shut anything down, after Koods refuted that statement. The Governors of most states have shut them down, to one extent or another, but mainly it's just bars and restaurants.

While keeping things shut down until we have a vaccine would be wise medically, it would economically be the worst disaster in American history, and Trump's trying to get reelected. It's a tough call.

If you were to make a recommendation to Trump, what would you tell him?  To me it's easy, but I'll save my reply for later.

"Kill yourself, or in the alternative, resign and run off to live the rest of your life in obscurity."

That'd be my recommendation, assuming that he wants to do the right thing.

It wouldn't.  One shouldn't need an economic incentive to do the right thing.
