[QUOTE="Stephan the Painter, post: 845514, member: 83410"] Of course you’re right. We can’t close down the whole world forever. As you said, people will starve to death. And even if we managed to avoid that, people, like me, and many others, will be wrecked financially. We will have to figure out someway to get somewhat back to normal. And when we do this, more people will get sick. If/when they come up with some better drug therapies to treat the sickest patients, I think that will be a turning point. In my personal life, it’s frustrating to me, because I do something outside, which I do alone, and it’s not necessary for me to come into contact with other people at all. But at the moment, I’m not allowed to go outside. for me, I could more or less live my normal life and still keep physical distancing. I also live in an area without a very dense population. I think the Camino, because of the way it’s been working for the last 20+ years, with mostly dormitory housing, will take a much longer time to come back. I think an interesting question and or thought experiment is how would one redesign the Camino to massively lesson the spread of an easily infectious virus such as COVID-19? How could we make it safe for [USER=91452]@Kristinka[/USER] and her family to walk the Camino? And safe for the people who live along and service the Camino. You’d have to eliminate the dormitories, I think. A few months ago I listened to an interview with someone who had walked the Camino in the 90s, and he talked about large camping areas set up for pilgrims outside Santiago. Other ideas? [/QUOTE]
