The only way the country can "open up" again ( before 350,000,000 people can be tested ) is for EVERYONE to wear masks AND practice social distancing. Of course, it's going to be difficult eating in a restaurant with a mask on.

It will be interesting to see how social interactions might change as a result of this viral outbreak. No doubt there will be changes to our strategic thinking, and the geopolitical landscape.

One agenda that will be highly energized by this pandemic is the green/"de-growth" agenda. We will all see this play out in the coming months after the virus has run it's course.

I for one have no desire to ever again shake hands with prospective employers, new contacts, casual acquaintances, or friends of friends. Maybe that feeling will go away, but I'm ok right now if it doesn't.

If I remember history correctly the handshake was two fold in need. First since most people are right handed it was to show no weapon in your hand, nor could you readily grasp your sword/dagar. It was also to seal a bargain between two gentlemen...he gave his hand. I don't like a handshake because of issue #2.

Why do you want to shake hands even in the best of times? You have no idea where that hand has been.

The way the world sees things now may in fact become the new "normal".

Human contact with strangers may become less common, people may wash their hands more frequently, people may sanitize more. So much just can't be avoided though like closeness in a subway or Navy ship or even an elevator.

What seems to need to end are what and how the chinks eat in chinkland. The wet markets need to disappear. China needs to emerge from the 5th century and if they would curb their population they could feed their people and not feel the need to eat everything that crawls.

These viruses that have hit the world the past 100 years just went away on their own. They, and new ones, can come back at any time.

We'll adopt a new method of dining with masks -- injections per rectum.

Or wear the Biden style mask. Turn it upside down to where the mouth is exposed or better yet wear it a little higher.

Ol' Banana Joe is cutting edge, isn't he?

And the local liberals are foaming at the mouth to vote for him.

You should talk -- I was following Gwyneth Paltrow's advice about cleansing your body with coffee enemas. They threw me out of Starbucks.
