Given the millions of infected people, and most Americans still uninfected, removing lockdown now is way too soon.

Can't let the economy delve into another great depression. It'll be almost impossible to get ourselves out.

Simply reversing the lockdown is to choose increased fatalities. So if the economy is restarted soon, there'll need to be continued requirements for distancing. I'm sure additional tactics for achieving that are being discussed.

Don't worry. You'll go back to school. Just think of this as a five month summer ( :

n o . school is supposed to be back for teh new yorkers (not the city tho) on april 3oth, but we'll see what stupid cuomo does..

please don't call him stupid. he's your governor and may well be your president in a few years.

just he's the reason i wont be able to see any of my freinds and other classmates (oh and my crush, but in 7th grade he said he getting homeschooled .-.) so i dont really care .-.

ok good. think of all the lives you're saving by staying home. your sacrifice is important to a lot of people.

i know, im just still a little mad, but so far my district is still going back the 30th...

To eliminate your high risk (which I am, too) you have to avoid human contact.

i'm avoiding human contact almost entirely so far

It only works if the virus disappears. But it will not. So whenever people go back to work - a week, month, year, the virus will spread again among those who do not have immunity from getting it in the past. Hibernation only works if it is continued indefinitely.

it only works absolutely if continued indefinitely. curve flattening leads to a longer profile of the pandemic, true, but fewer cases per unit time and I don't plan to live forever.

Corona deaths have increased, but flu and respiratory deaths have decreased due to social distancing.

Because Heavencanwait is smarter than everyone else and we should just bow at its feet and grovel. Then we should look up and gaze at it with awe...
