[QUOTE="donner, post: 3386234, member: 277"] Of course, this isn't something that is easily stopped on a dime. It ramps up and must be ramped down (unless we are talking a willingness to be on total lockdown again). I think much of the talk is geared towards changing reckless behaviors before we reach the point where there are true consequences. And there will continue to be an economic component to the surge. Travel bans to the EU and restrictions to some US states will certainly impact the battered travel industry. If hospitals are forced to limit money-making surgeries and procedures because of virus patient load then those places will suffer again too, right? I see less doom and gloom and more efforts to get people to take it a bit more seriously than many clearly are. But for me a lot of that is local because our town and university are doing everything they can to ensure the college students return and hopefully football too. We need the money that comes with students and events to support our economy. It gets much harder if the university suspends classes again because of an outbreak or if parents fear sending their kids to college or if the students opt to take a semester off instead of taking online classes. Lots of moving parts that get less complicated if we can control this surge better from what i'm hearing locally. [/QUOTE]
