I think it is bizarre how they decided to treat small cities and rural areas the same as NYC. We aren't packed in like sardines where I live, so diseases like this aren't going to spread as much. The government has no good plan here. Their response was botched, but they'll never admit to that. They'll say they saved lives. In the end, I bet the same amount of people will die of it whether they intervened like they did or not. We have to open things up soon. There's already been a lot of disruption to the supply chain. People are out of work. How can they take care of themselves without money? It's kind of the way everything is setup and we aren't solving that particular problem anytime soon.

Thank you.
This province is starting to open up. There are more people out then a week ago. Parks have reopened. I can't wait until I can sit in a coffee shop. I'm really craving that for some reason.
I read about the differences between small towns and cities. People tend to walk or take public transit to work in huge cities. Packed like sardines in a bus or subway car is perfect for spreading disease. So are apartment buildings that are heated by forced air.
Most of my coronavirus knowledge is from academic papers. None are full of doom. It's the news that is causing fear.
I think politicians are starting to realize that people need to return to their lives. Locking us down for months on end will be more catastrophic than the virus in so many ways.
