U.S. lockdown in fall 2021?

[kmiklas]

Just curious, but where is a lockdown right now in the US? Michigan? It is understandable. But FL never had more than 3 weeks lockdown and everybody else is lifting it, so why are we crying about lockdowns?

The spring is here, post less, move your ass more, you will be a happier person.

I'm trying to understand this new type risk of risk; namely, lockdown risk.

Terrible for airlines, big oil, restaurant, NYSE$BA, and a host of other companies/industries.

There is no lockdown risk. The only way there would be if we had a brand new, deadly strain or virus. And you CAN NOT predict that.

So you just have to learn to live with life's unpredictable risks, like stuck boat in a canal, mass shootings, snowstorm in April, Chinese power station going off grid, etc.etc.

As I said, enjoy the weather, live your life. If you worry too much about the future, well, you screw up your life.

Or just move to Florida!!!

The restaurants here in NJ are operating at 50% capacity, with no bar service.

I'm not talking about a new risk; I'm talking about the risk of COVID dragging on, and previous restrictions being reinstated.

I see real risk that we'll go back into some form of shutdown starting in fall, as:

1. Politics again rears its ugly head
2. Big pharma asserts itself
3. Teachers are reluctant to return to work due to health risks
4. OSHA gets involved, and expenses for office space increase exponentially based on COVID requirements.

50% ain't that bad. Just come over to the PA side if you want bar service. States will reopen soon fully, because they need your sweet, sweet tax dollars from spending. By July we will be vaccinating kids, so by September no teacher should have any reason refusing to return to work. Or they should just get a shot themselves.

As I said earlier we are about 4-6 behind Israel as vaccination goes, so just look at them if you want to see where we are heading.

Death numbers are constantly and consistently have been dropping. Sure, there will be death in July too, because this is a big ass country, with lots of idiots, but the pandemic will go endemic by Memorial Day.

Lol. Says the random brainchild on an internet forum.

Obviously you know shit about the Food and Beverage industry let alone any business at all. I'm sure all the ones that haven't shut their doors permanently are just roaring back to life @ 50% capacity with razor thin margins.

We have some real winners around here.

Probably not. Yet the title of this thread is talking about lockdowns. You know, keep your sorry ass at home, no gym, no restaurant type of lockdown. Compared to that, I'll take 50%.

Glass is half full my friend, not half empty. Cheer up, drink up!!

In 43 states businesses are mostly open. 21 states have no mask restrictions. There are no stay-at-home orders or curfews, anywhere. (except Puerto Rico, but we don't care about them)
