LOCKED: Coronavirus

Right, I understand this will be around for a while, but locking us in our houses for the entire time isn't a serious idea.

I'll probably be locking this thread soon to start a new one. Just an FYI.

Why's that?

It gets worse, everyone. This doctor thinks we'll all have to stay in our houses for 12-18 months. 

Fuck. That.

Yeah, 100% fuck that and why I keep asking what the end game is here.  If everyone thinks bringing people back to society is just going to make it spike again, then why are we even doing this?

Why's that?  

Because I want to. Why do you ask so many questions? Does it matter? What is the meaning of life? Will it affect your day at all?

A big reason is for SEO purposes. The new thread would have a covid-19 specific title.

May not be around for as long as the doom and gloomers think. Someone from the White House predicted 4 days from the peak and the virus mostly gone by mid-May. 
So there’s two sides: 12-18 month doom and gloom crowd. And another month, overly optimistic crowd. I’m rooting for the latter.
