This Post is likely to upset some, but may just as likely bring comfort to others.
Reality is: It takes time for the Masses to change their beliefs as seen by the slow rate in which the Masses started to take-on the lifestyle change that this Virus would require. One can see this in traveling back into the early Posts in this Thread. The frustration felt by those who saw the impending storm and loudly rang the Bell! Human Comfort Zones are a reality, and once set, it becomes very difficult to bring people out of their Zone.
Adjusting to Change: As the vast changes in the far reaches of each Hemisphere denotes the transition from the depth of Winter to the depth of Summer. The change is massive. At the Equator, the change is much less, but still note about. Point being, the closer one is to the extreme North and South the more excepting one must be to adjusting to the change.
If one excepts that this Virus is Seasonally Effected, it demands that we except that this Virus will fade in the Northern Hemisphere and that the Southern Hemisphere must begin preparing Now as the Virus is already in place and showing growth already.
What about Now: Washington State is Peaking in its out break. The early measures in that State are showing signs that the 15 steps to slowing this Virus does have an effect. New York State (as noted by its Governor) has tiny indicators that they 'maybe' in the very early stages of seeing a Peak in the next few weeks.
What does this mean: It means that today is not the day to stop following the 15 steps of slowing this Virus. But, it does mean that there is hope that like China (and no I do not fully believe their numbers) of parts of the Northern Hemisphere have and will begin seeing the Spring fade of this Virus. Yes, a bit early to celebrate and way too early to stop following the 15 steps. But, it is not too early to start believing in the full arrival of Spring.
Restarting a Huge Economy: It will takes weeks, possible months to restart the North American Economy and yes, I include Canada as part of this restart. The US Congress will complete their work with hope Friday of this week and Step #3 will be signed into Law. It will be a couple of weeks before the money flows into the Economy. It will likely match with the Spring Effect on the Virus for large parts of North America.
Pie in the Sky: I have a love for numbers, likely why I married a Math Professor. That love lends itself to understanding the Growth of this Virus as noted by my good friend
Laurasea. A growth that the Masses could not believe until it shook them from their Comfort Zones. At this Point, I believe that we are is the early stages of seeing the numbers begin its transition the other way! Clearly in the future, but early enough to see it start its transition.
So What: It is important to understand that there are tens of million of Humans that are in deep fear and the current reality only continues to deepen that fear. We have a responsibility each of those individuals to begin the early discussion that: The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow! Live will return to Normal! This To Shall Pass! That Science and Pray does work! That there is solid reason to believe that inside of six months, this 'CYCLE' of this Virus will occur!
Although I maybe a lone Wolf here and my saying this will upset many! It needs to be said and if it results in the in flight of arrows, so be it. It is one of the excepted dangers of stepping forward...
