[Natural News]: It’s now abundantly clear where things are headed with the coronavirus pandemic in the United States. Due to widespread pandemic denialism across most of the (scientifically illiterate) conservative media, the political pressure to end the lockdowns is exploding. At the same time, the very same people who are demanding an end to the lockdowns are refusing to wear masks in public, meaning they are unwilling to take even basic, simple steps to help suppress the spread of the virus.
The result of this is now obvious: Many state lockdowns will be ended prematurely, without adequate precautions, and the people who listen to Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity or other scientifically illiterate sources will surge back into public places and workplaces without masks, resulting in a re-ignition of the exponential spread of the virus.
Here’s the timeline of how this is likely to play out based on the “reopening date” in your local state.
Reopening day: The lockdown ends. People go back to work, back to shopping at shared retail spaces and return to using public transportation. The denialists (mostly conservatives and people who read indy media sources that absurdly claim the coronavirus is a “hoax”) refuse to wear masks, so they begin to spread the coronavirus all over again. Because they have been lulled into a false sense of safety by the conservative media, they are complacent and careless.
Reopening day + 30: Four weeks into the reopening, things still look great, even as the virus is quietly doubling the number of infected people perhaps once per week, which is slower than the previous rate of twice per week, given that some people are wearing masks and taking precautions.
Reopening day + 45: Early warning alarms start to go off as infections and hospitalizations begin to surge higher. The virus is now replicating yet again across the population at large, much like the scenario in February of this year.
Reopening day + 60: The exploding infection, hospitalization and death numbers start to mirror March’s numbers, and governors begin to see that unless people start wearing masks and respecting social distancing rules, a new round of lockdowns will be necessary.
Reopening day + 75 – 90: Governors issue new lockdown orders to once again halt the exponential spread. The city, state or region goes back into lockdown status in order to avoid the full-blown exponential explosion that would kill millions of not attenuated.
So within three months of the reopening of the economy, we should anticipate a new round of lockdowns being initiated. That, in turn, may result in riots, civil unrest, police state crackdowns and other forms of chaos since the very same Americans who refused to wear masks now refuse to obey government lockdown orders.
