It would inject some reality into what is very much pandemic theater. Cuomo is not saying the pandemic will likely run up to 9 months. I take this as meaning that he intends to keep the lockdown going that long, and really, no one really knows how long it will least.
The lockdown in NOT sustainable for that period of time. I doubt it's sustainable beyond a few weeks. Until everyone who's left develops some level or immunity, or until they get out a vaccine, this is something we're going to have to figure out how to function with on something like a normal ongoing basis.
BBMW,
I agree that a lock down going on for a long time is non-sustainable. When you said everyone who is left develop some level of immunity, from my understanding that is called "herd-immunity". It is a thing.
Meanwhile, if they get the masks passed out among the general population, after 14 days (the general incubation period is 2-14 days) they should allow people who are not sick to resume their lives as long as they're masked when in public. Wearing a mask in public for the next few months is a more effective, sustainable method of fighting this thing than telling people to stay in the house, stay six feet AWAY from your loved ones at all times (spouses/SO, your baby/toddler, children), go no where, and don't work for months upon months, until this virus is eventually eradicated and we've made sure no new virus or mutating virus has popped up. Basically that is being caged in isolation. The human psyche cannot live this way for months on end. No, that is not going to work. Cuomo is going to have to "figure out something else".
New York State will start trial testing antiviral medicines on Tuesday in an ongoing effort to stem the coronavirus pandemic statewide, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced on Sunday.
70,000 Hydroxychloroquine –
10,000 Zithromax –
750,000 Chloroquine From the Federal Government.
Trials will start Tuesday.
President Trump is sending thousands of samples of the drugs hydrooxychloroquine, zithromax and chloroquine to New York for testing.
For those that haven't been following this combo killed the coronavirus in infected people in as little as 5-6 days. NY will be a larger number of people in the trial. Let's all hope/pray this works.
But, wait, leftists all throughout the internet and media are attacking President Trump (and blaming him for shortages ) for speaking on the potential promises of this combo of drugs to help fight the corona

For the sake of those who are sick with full symptoms, I pray that it works.
I can't see this going past winter. I'm also curious if most will end up getting it and build up immunity.
You take good pictures.
Can services afford to not be up and running until winter? Will the utilities hold off on billing customers until winter? Will landlord hold off on expecting rent until winter? Can people afford to not work until winter? Can you?

masks actually do very little for the general public. most people pick it up oon their hands by touching contaminated surfaces. A friend in Boston told me today that many stores there are now refusing cash transactions....credit cards only..
