Ehh, I dunno, but sounds like it would happen. How would it even work though?

Itll be useless just like the first lockdown was. Numbers go down and then go back up. We cant hide forever. Eventually life must go on.

Trump was president for 4 years. That money is gone I bet. It paid off all Trumps loans.

It better come with stimulus and cancellation of rent. Or else it would cause a lot of damage and fuck up small businesses.

As the first lockdown proved, it's a waste of time. People will still need to work either to maintain the numerous essential businesses we need to function or just simply to pay the bills and survive.

Rant: i bitch about masks because i actually wear them all the time.

At my bus stop for my daughter no other parent wears a mask but me and i actually stand a decent 12 feet away as they group together.

This is in GA and no one much cares about wearing masks.

It would have to be a real national lock down, not like the previous ones were.

All stores closed to in person, has to be internet or phone based and no-contact delivery. Any non essential personnel has to be limited to their property only. Anyone still working needs proper N95 masks and constant testing.

After that, international travel and borders has to still remain closed.

And somewhere around week 5 everyone in a household has to be tested. If they are clear, they get to leave after week 6. If anyone in the house has it, entire household need to be locked down for another 6 weeks.

If there is a plan like that for lock down i'd be down for another go. But it would more likely be a half assed lock down that does shit to actually stop the spread, just slow it down slightly.

It will feel like Im continuing to do exactly what I'm suppose to. The only difference for me is maybe I feel like I'm not doing it just for other people to do what they want and make me pay for it.

That's the crazy part. The people who been doing this literally get no advantage. We sacrifice our social lives and a large chunk of stuff we grown almost entitled to, just for the world around us to continue to get worse and for it to become more deadly for us. Our reward is society saying "fuck you and your effort, we don't even respect you"

people in the US will not respect a lockdown and the US won't lock down hard enough.

Cancel rent, cancel mortgages, pay everyone, and then yes, that's exactly what should happen.

It should be a WW2 style moment of national sacrifice and purpose. But there's exactly one crack it it. Half ass it or fail to take care of people and you write your own ticket to electoral losses in 2022 and 2024.

i.e. shut down the economy, force the country into debt and let the big bank rich elite but everything up while destroying the dollar!

Yay for the great reset!!!!

I can top it. Peep this.

Us, the ones that been trying hard this whole time, by the time we get it from no one else taking it serious, it will be more likely there will be no room for us at the hospital. And you know why that is. The people who are the ones giving the hospitals time to work it out are just as likely now to die because we can't get a spot. There will be thousands of patients who said it was a hoax taking up the beds we needed.

I think we could get by without a complete lockdown if we had adequate testing and contact tracing procedures in place.

We don't have those, but if we did.

Imagine the weak minded pussies in warm states that can't even get by while having the luxury of outside. Bitch, I'm in Michigan, getting prepared for major seasonal depression and still nowhere near cracking and putting others at harm. I'm finna cave in on myself for everyone I love.

Then again, I can't really take credit before I've actually done it. But everything I've done up til now kind of shows I'm about it.
