12 days.

Apparently that's how long Americans can maintain some sort of self-isolation.

TBH it lasted longer then I thought it would.

If that's all we can do, we'll be in a world of hurt soon.

We weren't really isolating, though. People have been shopping, at beaches, etc. So we really only maintained the idea of isolation for 12 days.

True.

Honestly, I think for this to work a definitive end date needs to be given, otherwise anxiety levels rise and people freak out. I think we could do a month if that was outlined up front with a post lock-down plan.

Sigh, also true.

It's a classic game theory problem. Everyone would be better off if we all just stayed home, but if you don't trust other people will do it, then you're less likely to do it yourself.

The only way we can do a month is if Congress gives assurances of backing up businesses and individuals with the current stimulus plan. Since that's still pending, I don't see how it's possible or feasible. Only after that passes and gets signed into law should we do a one month stay at home plan for most, if not all of the country.

Jmo of course.

The things my nightmares are made of....having to go on a vent and looking over and seeing the blue oval on it. First question I would ask is if it shares any gaskets with the powerstroke haha

This was probably posted, just didn’t see it. This stuff can survive on surfaces much longer than previously thought.

CDC says coronavirus RNA found in Princess Cruise ship cabins up to 17 days after passengers left

Traces of the coronavirus were found up to 17 days after passengers disembarked the Diamond Princess cruise ship, surviving far longer on surfaces than previous research has shown, according to new data published Monday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Just because it can survive that long doesn't necessarily mean it remains potent enough to infect an individual that long. Survivability and potential to infect people are two different things.
