COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic

[JaredCap43™]

Here is a question for all of you. What is the first thing that you plan to do when the pandemic is over?

I'll probably take a trip to the town where I used to live, and go to Arundel Mills.

A look back at the 1918 Spanish flu, which killed more than 675,000 in the U.S. alone, can help guide our responses to the current coronavirus pandemic.

Go shopping at my favorite stores again

Still no cases reported in American Samoa, from what I've seen.

Here is a question for all of you. What is the first thing that you plan to do when the pandemic is over?

Take time off. Unfortunately, the two things I want to do may not be possible. There was a new Dave and Busters opening that I was hoping to go to and considering everything going on, not sure if it will actually ever open. And as for going to the movies, again not sure if it will manage to reopen.

See a lot of people celebrating the end of the COVID-19 pandemic by dancing and singing "The Old Normal Is Back!"

I know this isn’t coronavirus related but now I’m really starting to fear we wouldn’t make it pass 2021 (and the comments aren’t helping)..

Don't worry about that. There’s vaccines and cures for Ebola.

Don't worry about that. There’s vaccines and cures for Ebola.

Are there? I seem to recall the way we got through the first outbreak was containment. Ebola is far harder to catch than Coronavirus.

Since we are already social distancing because of Coronavirus I'm not worried at all.

Pretty sure Ebola is also harder to catch if I’m not wrong.

Yes, that's what I said.

This year feels like more of a "temporarily normal", than a "new normal", as many news articles, TV stations, and websites point out.

I agree, news stations and articles just wanna say it’s the “new normal” for the sake of more clicks/views and spreading fear.

 

[CartoonLover2604]

Yes, that's what I said.

My mistake, didn’t see you said that.

My mom told me this about the temporarily normal thing on Friday night.

Three Monster Asteroids Headed for Earth in June; As If 2020 Wasn't Bad Enough Already - News18

Asteroids listed under NASA's near-Earth object repository give us an insight into how close the space rocks will come to us.

I know this isn’t related to coronavirus again but at this point why not?

 

[CartoonLover2604]

By the way I’m pretty sure the astroids won’t hit us but I’m really hoping an astroid or volcano won’t kill us all this year. As crappy as 2020’s been, I feel we have hope to fix our planet and make it better if we just worked together and not constantly be at each other’s throats. The fear of humanity going extinct hurts me more and more everyday.

Many of us share your anxiety. As I've mentioned before, spending time away from the internet, the news, and social media can be helpful. Although the coronavirus has brought a lot of devastation, it has also encouraged unity. Think about the research labs around the world sharing information and learning from each other.

You're right. Oxford is already testing their vaccine in Brazil, where it is becoming a hotspot.
