TERB Ottawa Roundtable - Adherence to Physical Distancing Measures

People can only be out of a job for so long before the riots happen. I'm not the most social guy either, and even I'm kind getting sick of instinctually clicking around on leolist without contacting anyone lol
I suspect the distancing will come in waves as the virus peaks and fades. I can see a temporary break over the summer months, ending around Halloween as case spike again. We'll probably spend a long winter inside, and then another reprieve in the spring of 2021. From there, it'll depend on vaccine and treatment progress.
Because it started with a million cases. We don’t test everyone, it was extremely limited. The virus has been here since October/November because it was racist to not travel ban or not believe the Marxist Chinese government and her enabler, WHO.
Stop. Don't fall into that right wing conspiracy crap BS.
That's NOT why the virus spread. International travel is an essential part of the world economy. The virus had already spread internationally before any kind of travel ban would have made sense.
Not right now, but by the beginning of summer if the virus is seasonal and cases have leveled off. I can't really picture millions of people staring out their windows at perfect summer weather, day after day until it gets cold again.
New cases and deaths will reduce significantly at some point if we continue isolating, probably around 60 days. Meanwhile we'll need to ramp up our ability to test, trace and isolate. Once those two things happen, we'll start to loosen restrictions all the while asking those that are older and other at risk to continue to mostly stay isolated, along with anyone who thinks they are sick/showing symptoms. By that point the hospitals won't be in panic mode and more able to handle the lower flow and we'll try to bring some level of normal, but it won't be a free for all. I don't see any large gatherings/sporting events/concerts. international travel and things getting truly back to normal until 1. vaccine or 2. effective treatment.
Yes, I don't think we'll see anything like Bluesfest this year or next, or any concerts. The 2020-21 sports seasons will probably be cancelled too - even if the virus recedes having 10,000+ people together to watch the game wouldn't make any sense. But re-opening businesses, parks, etc. I can see.
Whiteman - I hope you're right but we don't even know if there will be long-term immunity yet.
City is already saying to cancel events till June 30 and I'm sure will be longer I'm hearing Sept but cant say my source
It will last a long time IMO. Too many idiots do not take it seriously. Where I live, people do not take social distancing seriously at all. F'N unreal! Wonder how long before the military is called in.
