Well, that little switcharoo just kept his blunder in the news another day.

Oh for fuck's sake, did people read that the virus doesn't usually kill young people and conclude that they wouldn't contract or carry it?
...I'm kinda guessing they also missed the part where the "young" who almost never die from it are in the 1-9 range and most definitely
not the 21-30 range?

Lockdown in Italy will go until 1 May or more.

Geez. Well thanks for playing, everyone.

I'm not dealing all that well with the barrage of bad news.

At the end of WWII, the world held a (
https://www.google.nl/search?q=celebration+end+of+ww2&tbm=isch&hl=en&biw=1414&bih=909) huge celebration party.
I wonder what will happen when we beat the corona-virus. Huge parties too ?
Exactly when will we have beaten the virus ?
When we all come out of lockdown ?
I don't think so. Suppose the world-wide lockdown continues until the end of June. So in July we can go out in the streets again. If we go full party mode, and there are a few infected, only a handful that don't know they are infected, we'll be in deep trouble again within 3 weeks. So when we come out of lockdown, it will be slow. With lots of social distancing, people wearing masks, etc. Not yet party-time.
When we get a vaccine ? If so, when do we start partying ? Not everybody is gonna get a vaccine-shot at the same time. I bet it's gonna take a few weeks to get everybody vaccinated. And also, it might take 1-2 weeks until the vaccine works (until your body has produced enough antibodies to be able to fight of a new infection). So even when we get the ultimate victory, a vaccine, I'm afraid there won't be a huge party for all to attend.
We need that party. Even if it will be later. We need the promise of that party. Even I do.

Yeah, a party so the virus can re-ignite the epidemy :p
Of course we all want (and maybe need) that kind of celebration. It's how mankind copes with things like this. In every culture.
You know, "I'm only human".
The virus isn't.
