Nope. There is no way out of this now, short of shutting it all down again. This is going to go WELLLLL into 2021, if not 2022. Looking back, a three month shutdown from March 15-Jun 15 will feel like something most everyone would have been happy with, once the reality of that window we missed becomes clearer. We are now well and truly ****ed and I'm kind of ****ing salty about it at this point.
Pretty much sums up my thoughts. I said exactly that in march, "just shut it down for a couple of months and we'll have a chance to get past this". Like nicholas said, we should still do what we can and say we ****ed up and we need to backtrack all the way. I dont know logistically how wed figure it out with supplies as there would be another mad dash for everything and people are greedy and would go back 5 times in 2 weeks to rebuy stuff.
If we continue down this road of just expecting masks and slight restrictions on restaurants to solve this issue we're on big trouble barring a vaccine in a few months. I'm afraid we might legit have to get used to a new way of life for several years.
