(7,840 posts)you can't keep people bunkered down that long...the 50s bomb shelter generation is a no-go..we have to establish a new normal and we can't do that if that if we're afraid to go outside..
With new hotspots popping up in the last several weeks (the UK, Guayaquil, Ecuador), it might worth LA's while to find a way to avoid becoming another New York.

would you say as long as it takes...until when..a vaccine is developed?...so you would stay in your home for at least a year?...I'm 71 and I do not intend to spend whatever time I have left hiding in my house..I want to see and touch my children and grandchildren again...and how are we going to establish anything resembling normal if we become a nation of agoraphobics?...and as much as it pains me to say it...I've come to terms with this plague washing over us...and no matter what protocols are in place there are idiots who refuse to "follow the rules" mandated masks, hand sanitizers, gloves if necessary, social distancing)...taking away their rights...blah blah...they're the ones who scare me, who piss me off...yesterday I hit Target for some essentials...masks are mandated here and everyone (men women children, checkers) was wearing a mask some were wearing gloves...and it was weird but it felt almost normal...
