We're trending in the wrong direction, at this rate it's hard to see sports returning

Coronavirus Live Updates: U.S. Sets Record for Daily New Cases
I have said from the beginning that this is what does professional sports in.

The sports that are playing right now will be shutting back down again, and its hard to see them ever coming back until there is a vaccine that is out for every person in this country.

States are already going to go back into lock downs, they've already said.

I felt from the beginning that the total time it took for things to go back to "normal" would be between 2 and 5 years. As it stands right now, we are already witnessing permanent changes to things like schools, colleges, etc, wearing masks whenever inside public spaces, etc. Some governors have even made it a law now that you have to wear a mask even outdoors.

I think it is clear at this point that America will never go back to "normal", even after the vaccines are out. This is the most afraid that i have been since it started. It's 30 - 40K cases a day now. Probably in a month or two from now, it could be 100 - 200K. Growth rate like that wouldn't take long before we could hit 1million new cases a day. We just need to hope and pray now, guys....

People are getting worried about nothing. We should reopen the entire country immediately. All of the shutdowns haven't prevented a goddamn thing. Most of the people who catch it will be fine. We can't shutdown the country for 2 to 5 years just because the virus might be lethal to an extremely small minority. Anyone says something like that shouldn't be making decisions or advising anyone who is making decisions. It is time to open the country back up. We should demand it!

LOL. The funniest part is you know he is absolutely without a shadow of doubt commenting on it multiple times. He has no mute button.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)

Was talking to my boss tonight. I'm a paralegal. Don't love what I do, but I've been doing it for 10+ years now, and I work my ass off 99% of the time.

But this COVID just has me in a funk. My motivation is zero right now. I couldn't even think of a way to say why, it's just there. It's like an invisible cloud hanging over my head.

She said similar things.

This was a few hours ago and I still can't explain it. And I've been lucky that my life really hasn't changed that drastically. Have worked full time and have had every resource I need (minus Lysol). Can't imagine what other people that have been way more effected are going through. Hope y'all are all doing alright!!

Good to know I'm not alone here, I have zero motivation to do my work too. I sometimes feel like I put all my efforts into trying to concentrate on work instead of actually doing the work. I have been working from home since about 1 year before the pandemic started and I had no issues with motivations, until about 2 months ago. It's a strange feeling, I wondered if it's because we now have less stimulation? Being stuck at home for a while without any real activities is starting to take a toll on me. I'm lucky I already have a small gym in my basement but even it isn't enough for me.
