Well this is not good. Other countries take heed.

Six waves? That's a coronavirus tsunami

Michigan governor, under fire over lockdown, now hopes to relax coronavirus restrictions in line with Trump's plan

Why are Michigan citizens so pissed off at her and the order? It's not like she's the only one doing it in the world. Now she's caving in to Trump

I'm a supporter, but even I don't fully follow the logic of all the restrictions imposed.

But in the end, it is an issue of where is being effected. Currently, the east side of the state is being hit hard. Detroit. Flint. Ann Arbor. The east side, not so much, but I am pretty darn certain it is just waiting to blow up.

From that: “But Professor Costello, a former British director at the World Health Organisation, said it was likely that the most vulnerable people in the country would have to remain in some form of lockdown until there is a vaccine.”

I’ll be advising my parents to do that and make home life as good as possible.

Did these astronauts know that there was a pandemic? Imagine if they returned to earth and found out that it was a planet of apes.

They knew but were not completely updated like everyone else in the world. They probably didn't expect to land in Kazakhstan with crew and scientists rushing to them with face masks and them getting inspected more than usual. They didn't really believe the world was this different but now they know

If you lived with vulnerable people you'd probably have to remain in lockdown as well.

This does all seem like the plot to the whole Planet of the Apes franchise from both the 60s films and modern trilogy. Spaceship leaves earth and then a virus breaks out that wipes out a large percentage of the population. People like Trump and his supporters lose any intelligence and get stupid during the virus. Astronauts return to earth to find it a very different planet.

Some countries have handled all this in a much more professional manner than others. I think the cooperation of the citizens in the likes of Germany and South Korea also plays a part.

Also, Taiwan, which WHO refuses to include as a country.

I don’t live with them, but also I’m totally fine in lockdown. I have enough fun stuff to keep me occupied for the next 500 years.

They may not all work but I'm glad most of the world is trying to shoot for a vaccine as opposed to just laying back and waiting for the inevitable release of death.

I mean, that tends to be the whole world, rather than upsetting China.

Yes, they’ve done a great job. They took good measures to protect themselves after SARS.

What exactly is the point of using your phone to make a contactless payment at the store and the goddamn terminal still requires you touch it to verify if it's debit or credit?

Man, Trump is really trying to stir up problems. Hang onto your hats folks.....

EDIT: Free Michigan? REALLY?

Yeah. I think it’s the only true long term solution as even a simultaneous complete global lockdown would be ruined by a handful of infected idiots.
