Currently at Lowe’s and busier then I’ve ever seen it. Says a max of 100 people on signs outside lol

I don't think countries realize how US travelers impact global economies. They contribute 10-15% of global GDP. That is insane.

The Italian island of Sicily is offering to pay for half your flights and a third of your hotel costs if you visit later this year https://www.insider.com/sicily-offers-pay-half-flight-costs-boost-tourism-coronavirus-italy-2020-4?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sf-insider-home&fbclid=IwAR0CeLKO2Sx2_EPMVXp3CK5b2DIYTLgcIUqp9KYcCxYAEtoRRoTDpkN5GcQ Italy sees 13% of its gross domestic product from tourism, so it is keen to welcome visitors back when we reach the tail end of the pandemic.

There would be marshal law unlike we haven't seen since the wild wild west days, I'm going to go stock up on ammo just in case.

I don't understand how you believe in opening up and not in herd immunity. They go hand in hand. If you open up this summer, herd immunity is the end of this. People will "social distance" to a degree. But if restaurants and gyms open up, it's a free for all again. Just like we had in Feb/March in the US. That explains the uptick in deaths that are showing up in a few articles. IE: https://www.businessinsider.com/air-conditioning-spread-coronavirus-restaurant-can-service-industry-open-again-2020-4

So we agree then. We have to open up soon.

What do you presume we do for the next year while we wait for a vaccine that may not even work?

Where are you getting these numbers from? The modeled deaths have been WAYY off from the projections. How many people would have died despite Covid 19? I doubt its anywhere close to those numbers. As evidenced before the entire country was walking around with it unchecked for 6-8 weeks.

facts are facts.

Maybe there is hope for a vaccine after all? Stock market making huge gains. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/29/business/gilead-coronavirus-stock-market/index.html

As I stated previously, a bad flu season kills up to 640,000 people annually. This virus will likely kill a little bit more than that oh a yearly basis.

Wrong. A vaccine to prevent the common cold has been difficult to make, primarily because there are more than 200 different varieties of viruses that can cause colds.

Coronavirus death rate is not that high, and I did not compare it to the common cold in how bad this is. Obviously this is far worse than the common cold. I compared it in a way to say that the "coronavirus" is constantly mutating. So we are in an endless battle with it. The common cold has never been able to have a vaccine for it, and thus as a result it's highly unlikely we get a successful one for Covid-19. So herd immunity will likely be the only solution.

So the antibody tests do not work, the virus has mutated into 30 different strains, so a vaccine won't work. Coronavirus has been around forever, Covid-19 is just a mutated version of the common cold. Herd immunity might be the only solution. We cannot lock down the country forever.

Yes, that's what the title says. 80% of the deaths are from people over 70 years old that may have died anyways (impossible to track this). Factor in around 15%+ from pre existing conditions and you have a very small factor of the population that is impacted by this virus in any serious way.

Data that shows the virus was here far before any lockdown and death numbers are already likely in the 6 digits in the USA. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2020/04/27/covid-19-death-toll-undercounted/?arc404=true

Going to have to sacrifice people in order to get this summers economy going. Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Around and around we go https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8257519/China-shuts-gyms-swimming-pools-country-battles-second-wave-coronavirus.html

Yeah, going to suck with no concerts this summer. But everything else I believe will go back to normal. Typical beach days, parties, BBQ, etc... The worst will be Bills games with no fans. The best Bills team in 20 years and most likely we aren't going to be able to go to games. I was going to get seasons this year too. =(

NYS will most likely start reopening process June 1st and outside of very large events (concerts, sporting events) I would expect we see business as usually by July 4th.

Italy is going to start reopening in stages All manufacturing, construction and wholesale will begin again on May 4. On May 18, retail stores will be allowed to reopen, in addition to museums, exhibitions and libraries, While the government is aiming to reopen bars, restaurants, hairdressers and beauty salons on June 1. https://www.theflorentine.net/2020/04/26/reopening-italy-stage-two-plans/

How many would have died anyways from flu/pneumonia/old age/cancer/heart disease? Impossible to decipher this.
