I saw someone float the idea of a region-by-region, slow and methodical opening up, and I think that's probably the best course of action. I have faith that the CPC will take the correct measures, whatever they end up being. Zero covid is impossible in a globalized world where most of the major players don't give two shits about people getting sick.

Yeah, if we had a coordinated global response, I think this pandemic could've been over in less than a year.
In 2020 it was so frustrating watching experts talk about how if the world coordinated our lockdowns we could effectively end the virus within a couple months or so. Then when the US finally started shutting things down (well, my state at least) I watched some of my friends whine about how they wanted to go eat at a restaurant or go to the movies and how being asked to stay at home was the worst thing that's ever happened to them.
Seeing how little some of my friends cared that people were dying made me so mad that I ended up just dropping a few of them and haven't talked to them since. I hate it here
