That being said we know practically nothing actionable about the spread of the disease, little more than we did when it started. Clearly the combination of masks and social distancing has slowed the spread but we don’t know how much good if any the masks really do, and we can’t never go outside again. It’s a waiting game, and a game of seeing just how much isolation we can collectively stomach. Unpleasant, and the end is certainly not yet in sight.
- felipemnoa 6y ago>>we can’t never go outside again Somebody needs to tell that to Brooklyn residents. Streets are crowded.
- GuiA 6y agoStreets were crowded in SF's mission tonight too, with many people 1) not wearing masks (or wearing the mask on their chin (!?!)) 2) being in close knit groups. Fingers crossed I guess, but given that 1) the virus is still around AND 2) we do not have a vaccine AND 3) we do not have herd immunity, I can't say I feel very optimistic about the next month or so.
- thaumasiotes 6y agoIt seems clear that flatline meant what he wrote, "we can't never go outside again", and not the opposite, "we can't ever go outside again". Brooklyn residents crowding the streets are agreeing with that sentiment.
- felipemnoa 6y agoMy bad. I honestly thought it was just a typo and he actually meant the second quote. Double negatives are really bad.
