If, we do not have a vaccine by then.

Not all that sure I’d take a new vaccine initially. I don’t take flu shots and have never had the flu. I realize this is a newer virus but a quick fix vaccine could be more dangerous

I think that is a wise choice.

Just not comfortable with quick, lesser tested vaccine.

That’s easy. So if the virus re-emerges, it’s not on his head. He gave the governors what they wanted. Now they can’t whine. Brilliant.

I do not believe any one of us wish to continue to stay home.
We are all missing out on an active life and miss our family and friends.

Many of us in T.V. are higher risk due to our age and many of us have medical conditions that add to the risk.

So when life starts back up I would still be very cautious due to the higher risk.

Problem is, when the small group crazies who don't give a hoot are running around town yelling "free at last free at last" because of their own choice to expose themselves in public it affects those of us who want to stay safe. Their "choice" is forcing the "other choice" to hide at home because the place is overrun by crazies who don't give a hoot. Fine, do whatever YOU want but don't kill me.

It's like cigarette smoking. I don't give a sh1t who smokes and kills themselves, that's your choice, but keep it away from me because I don't want you to kill me with your poison smoke.

It’s not that complicated.
Money or lives.
Their is no normal until Covid 19 is eradicated. To think otherwise is the thinking of a demented mind.

You are responsible for your own choices.
You are not in control of the choices made by others.
Act accordingly.
There, that wasn't so difficult, was it?

Are you on drugs? Do you know something no one else knows? Chicken little the sky is not falling.

If the virus is still lurking and we have no weapons against it other than masks, alcohol and distancing, will you go back to your restaurants, town squares, the rec centers for card games, mahjong, jam sessions, Beatles group, ceramics, wood shop, etc.? Or will you continue to stay at home? I'm surprised TV's powers that be haven't polled the community on this important question. (Note to Winston: have you asked your members if they will indeed show up?)

I just don't see the logic in unleashing us prematurely. If the virus is still out there, large numbers of people, or even small numbers of people if you prefer, will continue to contract it and pass it on. And that's the situation that got us into this mess in the first place. Even though the virus was not widespread, there was enough of it to allow it to spread exponentially. What makes us think the same thing won't happen again? It probably will, and that's the set up for the "second wave" we've been hearing about.

So why would we want to make a bad situation worse? And why would the current administration want to commit political suicide in the process?

I just don't get it. Can anyone shed some light? What a Sophie's Choice on the part of our leaders on both sides, huh? Either let the economy crumble and the population go mad or kill off a segment of our citizenry.
the cure can't be worse than the problem. we need to open our Country or we will have a bad depression

I see people in fear here. I suspect many come from a non-urban environment and think if they come close to someone they will get immediately infected.

Wonder how people who commuted to work in the NYC subways, Chicago Els, DC metros survived so many flu epidemics...with no colorful maskies on?
They’ve had a flu vaccine....

98% survival rate. Many show mild to moderate symptoms or none at all. I'd say open the economy before we end up with an actual depression, and I'll take whatever health precautions I deem necessary for myself.

Need to compromise and start a rollout as determined by the medical experts.
