I'm more concerned with the over-reaction to this. It's a very contagious virus. So we shut most the economy down for a month or two. Okay but people will still have it. It only takes a few people for this thing to start spreading again. We can't keep the economy like this until every last person is recovered, it's just not realistic.

I think we're going to see the countries where it ran it's course will recover faster and get back to the normal ways of living. I'm afraid we're over-reacting and are going to have to fear this thing for 6+ months, because it's not gonna disappear anytime soon.

There's ways we can run everything as normal and let this thing run it's course while still being smart and keeping spread to a minimum. Hiding from it is only going to delay when it spreads and we're not expected to have a vaccine for a year and that's best case scenario.

The fact of the matter is this is a very contagious virus and people are going to die. Hiding from it doesn't stop that, it just delays the inevitable.

I don't know, I hope to God I'm wrong because if this lasts for longer than a few months it's going to have a huge affect on the election. But not only that the economy will take years to recover from being neutered for 6+ months

No this is false. Corona virus is not the flu it will not be affected by seasonal shit. Remember that. I work In healthcare. Where I can agree and appreciate the not spreading panic. Don’t let your guard down. Stay vigilant

We believe this virus will respond seasonally. This virus has been studied by over 30 countries. They have all concluded that COVID-19 and it's 2 major strains are very sensitive to UV-C light (254 nanometers) and even 'UV-C Far' (222 nanometers). This means that it is also very sensitive to sunlight. As daytime/sunlight increases in the northern hemisphere day by day it will neutralize the virus in the air and on surfaces. It also doesn't do well in hotter/humid environments. I don't have much more info on why. I wish they would publish these findings somewhere easier to find.

I appreciate you sharing this with me. Very interesting. I’m hoping I’m wrong and this shit blow over fast. I’m not worried about having to swallow my pride and admit I’m wrong. I’ll look forward to doing it if the time comes. But for now I’m ready either way. I have a family to look out for. And fellow pedes to take care of

I have read studies that show the virus is way less infectious when subjected to heat. In some instances it’s only living on warm surfaces for up to 3 mins. Is this not true? I’m genuinely asking, not trying to be a dick

No worries. All concerns are valid. We stick together. Hard part is I don’t know where the truth lies. Always good to just be mindful.

How do you know that? There are many types of corona virus that just cause the common cold, which is seasonal. Why is this one different?

I believe this one is bio engineered. Just my opinion

The US economy isn't being shut down. There will be some inconvenience, but it's not being shut down.

Italy is shut down, because they ignored the problem until it got out of control. Spain is close. France is close. Lithuania may be imposing a 15 day quarantine on everyone.

By doing this now, we hope to avoid the need for complete shutdown.

I was thinking the same thing.
