It's better than the alternative of 3 billion people starving to death in 2040. I don't think it's up for debate. We needed this. Coronavirus provides a grace period to adjust our toxic behaviors.

I am more worried about dead trees (from freeze) and empty beaches. We know winter is like our old summers now. Such is the way of life. What do you think winter will look like after a summer of diminished aerosols? Not only that GHGs and water vapors are at record levels already. Most would agree that we are leaving a distinct cultural and climactic era behind.

Maryland is another looming hotspot. It's been building for awhile. You guys did good but nothing can stop this thing.

They will rush out to restart the industrial machine at huge costs in terms of human lives and suffering. I am familiar with this theme.

Keep telling yourself that ... we are getting super close to losing support for lock-downs worldwide.

2020 Mid-Atlantic Severe Weather - General Thread
Vice-Regent replied to Kmlwx's topic in Mid Atlantic
Stuff has a history of amping up as we move closer to the event. I would feel good east of the Blue Ridge. -
Gotta keep the lowest common denominator open right.
-
For anybody still in the dark. COVID-level lock-downs are necessary to stop dangerous levels of global warming. The only difference is we won't be in social distancing.

The greenhouse doomsday future is waiting for your children. You made one good decision in your life. I am right there with you brother.
-
Thousands die of the annual flu. I don't understand your point here. Why the **** are you still here? You have no say in the matter so if your goal is not to diminish the extent of the lock-down then you are just a contrarian as many have stated.

The meat plants are shuttering. What will you do now that Mappy has no more meat to cook?

Natural selection doing it's work.

That's why you don't open ...

Wrong again. They will move out of the cities and find a way to survive. You are posting too much and are too emotionally invested in a system that never cared about you. Now you finally see it and are now posting weird shit. Odd effect...

Nobody is hiding in their basements. What other options are available for something with a basic reproduction number of 5.5+? That means for every one person infected they will infect 6 other people. Capitalism DESTROYER
-
25,000 new cases in the US and those deaths are 14-20 days away. Not sure I accept that line of reasoning. We need to lock-down for 6 months and we need door to door vaccines. A massive mobilization effort. Hospitals are death traps.

What is the true purpose of education if the higher education system is shut down? Shouldn't we be re-tooling our kids with different skill sets? I know it's early but I would rather have my child capable of growing a garden and knowing medicinal herbs and the various other survival skills.
-
Get real bro. It's never going to happen en-masse and it's not going to happen in the third-world. Next best thing ... vaccines and herd immunity.

Global Weimar Germany. Kill me now so let's follow up with the appropriate response.

Well said @C.A.P.E. It's very important because the outcome could be dire if too many people don't wear personal protective equipment. We won't be willing to lock-down as quickly if the situation rapidly deteriorates during the summer/fall. We really should stay locked down for 6 months but nobody will accept that.
-
This will require 3 months and as many have said we need the contact-tracing infrastructure in place which may I add is rather draconian. Not everyone will be on board. 3 months is too long for capitalism if that's your thing. That's obviously the thing because that's how we do business.
-
Chinese population is 1.4 billion. There is no chance in hell that 80% of the population has immunity already. China was able to contact trace very effectively and confine the outbreak to one province/city. This virus would undoubtedly kill 500 million worldwide if we relied on herd immunity alone without vaccines or lock-downs. This virus is the capitalism destroyer. There is no way out.
-
We could do the China thing and lie to the world about the situation so we can offshore suffering somewhere else while we rake in money. I am tired of dealing with this man. We need like a full-spectrum reorganization of society. Complete UBI and 100% Telecommute. Automation can manage our food supply. Some call this luxury space communism but I call it survival for the greater good.
