It's a scam. He's actually charging 3.99 USD. Not in this economy, bucko.

yes but a vaccine is over a year away. is the goal to flatten the curve for a year?

Yes, protect the vulnerable until a viable vaccine comes out. If we don't do so millions more will die than necessary. There are not enough ventillators in this world for all the potential cases and the impact on other curable/treatable conditions would be quite significant. (People will die of preventable diseases due to ressources shifted for COVID). The only other option is to say screw it and act like blood isn't on our hands when more people die in one instance than any other time in history.

We can find other treatments that are not vaccines before then. They're testing a few different drugs that are already safe for humans.

The problem is being in quarantine for a year is completely unsustainable. Many businesses will go into shutdown mode eventually and money will dry up.

I understand its only thing they can do but its a pretty crap plan. It's basically shut everything down and hope for the best for over a year.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, we can rebuild the economy, not so much human life. This could also help force companies to change the way they work in the digital era. Essentially we are all likely going to get it but it just can't be all at the same time if we want to preserve as many lives as possible.

Amazon worker filing boxes....tests positive for the virus...

Take Amazon boxes you get and put them away for 4 days. Wash your hands.

But if you're going to worry about that, worry about everything you get at the grocery store, Costco, etc.

wow. this is like 9$ CAD.

Prevert.

wow. this is like 9$ CAD.

In this time of crisis, I'll forgo the exchange rate.

Agreed although desperate measures might cause more than damage to the economy. It might cause a shortage of critical resources.

Again, there is no alternative. That's what sucks.

That’s going viral.

 

[OldCraig71]

Prevert.

Hey man, things are slow. I am a simple man.

 

[OldCraig71]

It’s good to laugh even in the midst of struggle my friends. Many people in this world face far greater struggle on a daily basis, hardship is a part of their daily routine. We have been dealt a good hand in this part of the world, we can learn from this and be stronger.

Stress and anxiety will do all that to you. Try to find a way to relax, if possible. Wishing you the best.

Thank you groovejuice! Wishing everyone on here the best! We'll all get through this!

We can find other treatments that are not vaccines before then. They're testing a few different drugs that are already safe for humans.

But it doesn't replace a vaccine. You don't replace a Maybach by a Trabant, well you could ... but it's not the same quality of car.

It's better to but local. Less virus coming here (if they live in boxes) and help the local economy to survive financially. We'll have less money so let's keep it all here. How many billions or our economy got to Seattle with Amazon?
