I'm curious as to how this is going to work out in the long term for countries. Who is clamping down to hard, and who isn't clamping down enough? Who will bounce back, and who will be hurting for a while? Who will be better off overall when the dust finally settles and things can get back on track?

Time will tell.

When will the dust settle :/ China has started to increase again now lock downs are getting lifted

South Korea had an uptick when loosening restrictions and clamped down again, they're back down to avg 30 cases a day. It's going to be tricky how to open things back up. In theory the virus should be done if everyone truly kept away from each other for 2 or 3 weeks, then identify everyone with symptoms and it's stopped dead in its track. Yet maybe some people have such mild symptoms they never think they could have it, but can still spread it? Of course all social distancing does for us is reduce contact by 60%, we're not stopping it, only slowing it down to declining numbers.


India has very low average age, and it will get lower after this. There are so many people there the virus still has the capability to cause 2 million deaths. And most we'll never even hear about :/


Meanwhile over here, we had another food drop we didn't ask for. The house is stuffed for another 2 months now, don't know where to put it anymore! I think it's the new excuse to visit, bringing supplies... They can come over again to pick some up lol.

The big storm was as usual, not that big. It kept people inside, good. Back to haphazard homeschooling tomorrow :/
