I'm just curious... We're not the first to grapple(?) with opening up. Both China and Korea have done it (I know, I know. They're all liars). How successful have they been? Did their businesses tank as theorized? Are there lessons to be learned?

One thing is for sure. If the lock down is lifted it won't affect us old folks. We'll still have to sit at home. But, apparently that's all we're good for now. Just sit and wait for the same outcome, with or without the virus. lol.


South Korea has a population of 50M. They've had 236 deaths.

Anyone lobbying for this to not open back up is out of their minds. I dislike Trump massively, but still realize that the liberal media is pure evil.

Good article. Our future appears to be massive amounts of testing with a gradual return to normalcy. Once the vaccine is available business may be back as usual, assuming they can hold out that long. Government should help out.

"Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it."

The 1918 flu pandemic that killed 10s of millions of people mutated to its deadliest form 6 months after the outbreak. The more people that are infected with COVID-19, the higher the probability of an extremely deadly mutation.

The 1918 pandemic took two years before it ran its course. And there were occasional flare-ups for several years after that.

Also, the common cold is caused by a coronavirus. A successful vaccine has yet to be developed.

I'd bet this pandemic is far from over.

Does losing 100% of your business for 3 months "actually put you out of business" because that's what's being proposed. We've passed the one month stage (in Oregon).
