How long until it's over?

Jimdamick · Apr 13, 2020

I'm betting on a year at least until this maelstrom is contained, that will forever change Human interaction in the 21st century, like I'm not shaking your hand anymore, fuck that shit, you are a possible contaminant.
It's definitely an amazing time to be alive, that's for sure,
So, what do you think?
Two months, six months or nine until life as we knew it resumes?
I'm betting on a year at least before there is any sense at all of normalcy coming back to the World, if ever again.
Oh, my Indian American friend Neil that owned my local convenience store, like 1000 meters from my home is in ICU now as a result of COVID-19.(wish him well

)
Hopefully he will be the last person that I know that will get it, but somehow I don't think that will be the case.

things will never go back to the way it was. Many things will change permanently

at what point do we believe our lying sack of shit DOTUS that it is safe to start moving back to normal?

who's gonna be the first bunch of people on a packed airplane, an indoor concert, a baseball game, etc?

and then what happens when it comes back in the fall? will it be worse? seems like immunity mignt not be guaranteed either.

Man, I don't know. I'm trying to live for each day, but I'm actually glad to be near the end. I feel badly for those younger than I. The $1,200 check is at my bank. It'll be deposited on the 15th.

Totally agree that a lot of people have no ability to see the larger picture of what's going on right now.

I just being sarcastic. I know that i am blessed to have a job which is not going to be effected. Computers cant get the virus

But i would still take that vacation if given the choice. $950 a week is damn good money for sitting on your ass.

I'm sorry for you that you don't like your work and have no other reason to live. You should perhaps check out early. Make room for somebody who knows how to live instead of you, who simply exists.
