We aren't going to stay home until this is over. That's just not happening. Any thought that is even remotely possible should be immediately deleted from the trash bin. Some of us will continue to have social distancing with or without PPE, and some will not. And life will go on for better or for worse.

I really don't understand why people find it so hard to not socialize in a world where you can be on a Zoom, Discord, or Facetime with anyone in the world at any time. I don't really understand what physical proximity does for people. But, I'm a misanthrope by nature.

But, it is possible for us to stay at home until this is over, people just don't want to do and the truth is that's because they are willing to accept a certain level of risk and a certain number of deaths to have the social life they want. I'm not going to force people not to do it, but I do think people need to admit to themselves that this is what they are doing.
