Is it too early to ask hard questions? Apologies to those with a weak sensibility.
Honest question for those of us observing the lockdown…
When are you going to come out?
When the quarantine is lifted?
(The virus will still exist and the 2nd ‘wave’ may be worse than the first).
When there’s a vaccine?
(You’ll be waiting a long time, by all accounts).
When your government tells you?
(Whilst I trust this government more than all other recent ones put together, governments, and particularly ‘experts,’ have been historically wrong about, well, just about everything).
I think it’s a reality that at some point you’re going to get the virus.
The end of the lockdown doesn’t mean the end of the virus. That’s something that people don’t seem to be talking about. Maybe because it’s a scary thought.
I think what we’re going to see is people timing their lives strategically to get the virus when it suits them. Or try.
Thus reducing potential lost work, timing pregnancies, etc.
What I’m really interested to see is different people’s risk tolerance. I think if the government wasn’t paying people 80% of their wages to sit and watch Netflix we’d see a very different reaction.
Disclaimers: I do 100% support the NHS. And, no, I don’t think the whole thing is a conspiracy.
And no, I’m not an epidemiologist and nor do I play one on TV. Lot of armchair epidemiologists out there. I distrust anyone who isn’t extremely humble right now…
Just some honest questions.
