    So, who among QBN is absolutely 100% not going to return to whatever "normal" is out there no matter what the CDC or Trump suggest?

    My wife and I talked about this last night. The cases could drop, things could turn to a more optimistic tone, but we're not changing a single social distancing / self and home hygiene habit for ourselves and our kids until either:

    A) the treatments and prevention get better and drastically reduce mortality rates, or,
    B) a vaccine is tested, available, and viable, or,
    C) we discover that we've somehow already had it and were asymptotic, and have antibodies that give us immunity

    I want my kids to be back in day care so badly, it would be so much easier for my wife and I to get our jobs done at home during the day, but we're not deviating from home isolation until it is without a doubt 1,000% safe, no matter what the president says in an attempt to rush people back into the working world to save the economy.

    • Over here, they just said the social distancing thing is there to stay for many many months.Bennn
    • They will start re-open stores and business where the 6' distance is possible probably early MayBennn
    • Yup.

    • Mostly I agree, but there is no "1000% safe". I plan to wait 3 or 4 weeks after the rest of NYC goes back to "normal" before I return to the office.

    • ^ Pretty much that. I know things won't be normal. I just don't want to contribute to a rise in cases or risk to ourselves.mg33
    • Just wish there was a way for kids to go back to daycare safely.mg33
    • My office is supposed to move into a new space that's being built out for us in May. That was exciting, but no idea if that's happening on schedule. Doubtful.mg33
    • Once I know I'm immune, I feel like I can at least "try" to get back to "normal." But I know people will be weirded out for a loooooong time. Maybe years.monospaced
    • I can hardly work AT ALL from home. I wasn't prepared for it, and my toddler makes it nearly impossible, all day. It's totally insane.monospaced
    • I'm hoping that daycare can resume as well, and that will only come when we know people are immune, I THINK.monospaced
    • you guys with kids are very courageous, it must be very draining all this. Keep it up!Bennn
    • My 6 year old daughter has rheumatoid arthritis and is on an immunosuppressant. It will be a long time before I get back to a normal that potential exposes her.bogue
    • We also started staying at home long before it was recommended by the gov. This is our 8th week of of staying at home. I think we can hold out for maybe 52 morebogue
    • I'm in training, diet, foods, vitamins, exercise, lots of exercise, sleep, lots of sleep. Then I'm gonna do all I can to get it, fight it, move on with life.shapesalad
    • What mono said...once I know that I have immunity to the virus, I will then slowly begin to integrate my old daily routines.utopian
    • I'm still living normal outside the pubs closed and dine in. Here at least it's more paranoia than substance.
      ********
    • Yeah because you are a troll living in your moms basement. Not surprised your life is the same you sad silly moronic cuntmonospaced
    • Anyone who says their life is the same is a pathetic loser. Truth.monospaced
    • It takes about 14-18 months to test and validate vaccines. Unless this disappears miraculously, brace yourselves.Maaku
    • I’ve already had it so I’m going to self islolate for a month longer just to make sure.Chimp
    • Mono knows all everyone. But yea beside pubs and dining in, and fuckin lentils nothing changes. I go grocery store like 3-4 times a week
      ********
    • Get fresh shit ... That's in stock the panic creates weird shortages... Had to get sugar packets for coffee the other day
      ********
    • Beer runs at minimart. Just pick up dine out now. Still go to park. Stand a couple feet apart because of cops and let dogs play
      ********
    • I do alter my runs because certain outdoor areas are so popular now. Been to wet to ride see how that will be when it dries out
      ********
    • But ye as not much has changed. Some client work pushed off for hopes of oct events. Other picked up to fill the time. I almost wished it was slower
