Initially it didn’t help that some politicians downplayed the virus. However now the roads are clearer, and the masses seem to be catching on that the virus is dangerous. As an essential (expendable) I’ve received free food from local catering groups as well. If we believe the sum of parts makes the whole, then we should feel warm and fuzzy right about now. As for me, I don’t. I’ll fill my basket first before I fill another’s basket.

Actually, I am surprised at how many people want to fight everything. It seems that authority means nothing anymore. I am more amazed at how many people refuse to just take a simple time out for the betterment of everyone else.

I am also "essential" (if we were so essential, we would be stowed away and protected instead of exposed haha). We have been running with an "essential" skeleton crew for weeks now. I have worked harder and longer hours than usual, but it beats the alternative of not working. Our skeleton crew has also proved to be more productive, efficient than full staff.
The stats seem to be pointing towards a peak in most areas. I still choose to believe that we will be past this and back to normal in May/June. I know some like to think, "OMG, we can't go outside until there is a cure". But unfortunately, that is unrealistic.
You doomsday folks better save your video game progress and get ready to go back to work!

The curve seems to be flattened but now I guess the calls are to stay inside until we have a vaccine, however long that may be.

Extended until May 13 here in Georgia now

That is untenable for the economy, no? IF it's gonna be 12-18 months for a vaccine like they say, you really have to start doing cost-benefit analysis. Can't just shut everything down that long. I'm not saying we should have 80k attending a football game but a more targeted approach seems necessary.

Rumor in Alabama has been it will be extended until June 1

Which numbers in particular? For AL or the US?

I’d settle for Memorial Day

I agree though nobody is going to want to jump right back into a full swing of things. Biden’s Coronavirus adviser is still saying around 12-18 months.

We need to have a good testing and isolation plan before we can restart things. Once we have that we can limit spread by tracing cases. That's the biggest F up of the response was not acceleration of rapid response testing
We can get back to normal if we can have a good targeted response and case quarantining + isolation for at risk

Death projections in the IHME model, which was used by the White House to inform a warning that the country was facing a “best case scenario” of 100,000 and 200,000 deaths, have been cut by an additional 20,000 since Sunday’s initial revision to 81,766, to now project 60,415 total deaths in the U.S. The estimate of needed hospital beds was also cut nearly in half from 141,000 to 94,249, with needed ICU beds cut by nearly one-third to under 20,000.

We don't have time for that. I look for things (small gatherings) to start opening back up within a week or two of the infection rate dropping. By June the only thing not happening will be mass gatherings.

By the end of April I expect things to be back to normalish. Some places will still do their own work from home strategy but manufacturing and things like that will start getting back to normal. The past 3 days the numbers have been going down in average and they are inflated anyway because anyone that is diagnosed Covid-19 and they die they are considered a Covid death regardless of the real reason they passed. Right now you are more then likely to die in a car wreck going to walmart then you are to die from Covid-19. So unless you are 70+ or have some autoimmune condition I think we trust our health care workers to care for us. We can not stay shutdown until September or further.

I got a email from my biggest vendor who makes 90% of my lead products and they are not closed till June 1. They are in Illinois. Honestly, I dont plan on getting anything from them until August. Really going to throw a curve into my inventory and shipments.

The rapid tests are available. They started shipping them out last week and just about every Dr's office and hospital should have them by now. I'm on the administrative side of things but our group recieved around 200 Monday.
