Is Quarantine and Social Distancing here to stay?

[Walk on Water]

Dr Fauci says we have to wait for the numbers to go down.

Here’s the problem. This virus started from one person. And that one person ended up creating a domino affect and now like a million people got the virus.

So if you start rolling out people that can go back to their life, all it takes is one person again to spread to another million through domino affect.

So I don’t see how this can ever get resolved until there is a vaccine and cure. It’s safe to say we’ll be on lockdown for the next year?

They're just gonna keep pushing the quarantine 30 dsys at a time.

Unless the govt is going to start paying a monthly UBI thats far more than $1200, a large segment of the population wont be able to stay quarantined for much longer.

Besides, sooner or later people are going to figure out that the "saving lives" narrative thats being used to justify this quarantine nonsense is laughably moronic, and they are going to realize that the entire US economy has always been built around assumptions on trading economic activity for dead bystanders. For example, cancer is the #2 cause of death in America... large industrial sites like refineries and chemical plants dramatically increase cancer rates in the surrounding areas, and products like cigarettes and round-up are huge contributors to cancer as well... when are we going to shut down our economy to protect cancer patients? Opiate overdoses killed 70k americans last year, the vast majority of these people were initially hooked with a legal prescription from their doctor... when are we going to shutdown the "legal" opiate industry in order to save lives? The US has been blowing up weddings in middle eastern nations like Iraq and Afghanistan for the past ~20 years... when are we going to shut down our morally bankrupt war of terror in order to save lives? In reality, the US economy puts a dollar value on human lives every day, and that value is typically quite low.

FFS, ~70k americans died last year simply because they were unable to afford healthcare. I would love to hear anything resembling a decent explanation for why we can afford to intentionally crash our economy and force millions of lay-offs while pumping trillions of dollars into banks and large corporations, yet at the same time we are somehow unable to afford providing a universal healthcare system like you find in literally every single developed nation on the planet (as well as many so-called "undeveloped" nations).
