It's never going to be over.
Don't be such a pessimist. Of course it will. Something worse is bound to come along.

Credit where credit's due, this response is pretty much on-point.Quote"Look western leaders keep saying two-three weeks. They say that so that people don't panic. Realistically they don't have any clue and neither do I"
It says 1) I'm not going to bullshit you, but also 2) when I know, you'll also know, and 3) don't listen to morons making populist plays abroad, they're just doing what populist everywhere do, telling people what they want to hear.

I rewatched Contagion last night. All things considered, I think the public has adapted fairly well to social distancing.

A guy goes to a talent agent. He says, "I've got the greatest show you've never seen. I get up on stage and I evict the black half of the audience. I parade in twelve women and rape four of them. I marry three. Then I rape them, too. I have kids with all of them, and the one daughter that pops out, I develop a strange sexual tension with. I don't actually have sex with her, I just sort of silently insinuate that I might be thinking about it, which is in some ways worse than actually having sex with her. I get millions of dollars from Russia for no reason, but I'm so stupid that I actually put it on my tax forms, which I then set fire to. I start loudly complaining about Mexicans. I become president, and I do literally everything I can to not just fuck shit up, but to get away with it, too. Then Mitch McConnell comes out and starts fellating me."
The talent agent says, "Fantastic! What's the name of that act?"

Others stayed in their cars and trucks, some pulling construction gear, landscaping equipment and motorboats. Music blared from loud speakers.
Hundreds ignored guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by not wearing masks or face covers, shouting about how Whitmer needs to be removed from office.
Well...Bye.

If all the reported reinfections are in South Korea (which doesn't have a particularly high infection rate to begin with), I would consider a systemic problem to be more likely. Look to the lab. Unless reports of this start appearing in other places, I wouldn't take it too seriously.
Remember:
The test has a 100% accuracy rate.
The individuals involved didn't have any health issues or unusual genetics peculiar to the area.
The data was entered into the computers without error.
The database software is bug-free. No two people have the same name.
The original news reporters are subject matter experts, and understood perfectly what the scientists were saying.
Every news agency is careful to do their own research before repeating a claim.
Science is slow. Wait for the results to be reproduced. It's not like you can do anything about this, anyway.
