Message: [QUOTE="Goatmeat, post: 3530196, member: 10596"] You can’t keep it shut down as is for much longer. A lot of people say “you can’t open up the USA right now.” That is a silly point to be making at this time. The reality is that some places are in fact ready to be opened in a progressive fashion, such as the more remote regions and the areas with minimal cases/population densities. All of New England should not remain closed due to NYC. It’s nonsense. The purpose was to flatten the curve and we are doing that right now. Cases requiring admission to the hospital are decreasing in this region, and that is the purpose of flattening the curve - not overwhelming the healthcare system. Those older individuals in that 55 and up community don’t have to leave either way. Things won’t be normal for a while, if ever again completely back to normal. People won’t shake hands for years, likely won’t go to concerts or events for several months/years even. It’s going to be a different world. [/QUOTE]
