When will Washington states shelter in place end?? (Seattle: house, school)

[annonymous0381]

I'm sick of being stuck at home like most people are. When will normal life return to Seattle??

Jay insalee extended the stay at home order until may 4th 2020.

I haven't seen my girlfriend in over 4 weeks.

I bet it gets extended to May 31st because of the information quoted in this article:

Germany has been drafting some interesting plans for implementing a scaling back of their lockdown, which may provide a useful working template:

They are also looking at 'immunity certificates':

Implementing these will require improved testing techniques.

I hope it does not get extended further. That's going to leave an even bigger economic hole the longer this goes on. I'm still working but I would like to actually be able to do something other than walking and occasionally shopping.

OP: Why don't you move-in with your GF or vice versa? Unless the relationship hasn't reached that point?.
I will tell you, after 45 years with my GF, we could use a little distance, more often

JMO, I am imagining Insley to relax restrictions in June. We personally will restrict our personal movements into July-August. We will sneak out to take some walks before then. We are seniors, so we have to be careful.

Hopefully just in time for the summer. This projection chart says its possible it will completely taper off in Washington by mid-May.

Not trying to be rude, but life will return to normal once the threat of sickness and death has decreased to an acceptable level. To me the acceptable level of death is ZERO. If somebody has the inside scoop on the exact date that we can go to our normal lives, please let us know cuz dealing with this crisis is BS, but the alternative is even worse... And speaking for myself, I’m in no hurry to roll the dices with death.

There are ways to deal with boredom. You are still free to walk around outside, while keeping a respectable social distancing from others. Call, email or text friends and family members. You can do yard work or finally reorganize “things” in your home or simply catch up on watching DVDs, listening to music or reading a book.

It might help if you create a schedule to follow. Assign yourself certain daily tasks to completed and schedule your meals at the same time as well. If you can create a workable routine for yourself, this might work.

To be honest, I’m required to report to work everyday, but I wouldn’t mind being stuck in the house for several weeks... I’d love to finally organize all the stuff in my home and do some yard work and clean up the garage.

OP, good luck!!

No 'normal' until vaccine is proven and available to 'commoners'.

'Modified normal' as soon as we get the 3m+ 'test kits' (available 2 months ago, except in USA...)

We will need to ALL test frequently and... (if VF) wear our public symbols / tags / MAGA hats to be allowed into public places.

I would target mid June for relaxed regs (and possibly a return of + infections)

Some states will not even be realizing by June that they should have 'sheltered' (their CV-19 numbers will always climb). Thus... normal travel between states / countries is FAR off! except for a potential summer lull (which we do not know yet, as CV-19 does fine in some tropical / desert / 'summer like' climes)

Talked to relatives in GA and AL tonight. They had no clue CV-19 could be spread by those without symptoms (same view as their governor).

If we could have just locked up the politicians and handled this with science (or common sense) .

Jan 20 + 6 weeks. = Done deal (or at least be controlled and no need for 'cowering-in- place' for fear of the unknown... 'super-spreaders' who don't know they are carriers, and may never have symptoms themselves.

If I hadn't seen my GF for 4 weeks, I would feel quite 'under-control'. Some GF's LOVE the separation!!!

Many of us have spent YEARS away from spouse / kids / family / GF... (military / foreign work assignments / oil jobs / eldercare...). I like to read my neighbor's love letters to each other during WWII (Everyday to each other for 3 yrs!). Great time to brush up on your poetry!

Nothing worth keeping / saving / honoring ...ever comes ez.
enjoy your health!

Similar to the parents getting to 'home-school'.

Teachable moment (for now). Soon it will be lost forever. And you will return to being a 'kid' taxi driver, for your 'absentee' family. then... they are GONE, sometimes forever.

Far better to be sick of being stuck at home...than sick with COVID.


No whining.

When? Nobody knows.

Can't you or your GF drive a car to see each other?
