I'm nearing the end of my quarantine and am starting to think about what life will be like on the outside. Thankfully, there are lots of vloggers in Seoul, and from their videos you can get a decent idea of what people are doing. Some vloggers are really excited to go out again, and other vloggers are mad at them for going out too much. This vlogger is less opinionated about it and is just filming to show people what it's like.
So based on that, it seems like while there are definitely way fewer people than normal, shops, malls, and even an indoor theme park are open. According to this data set I found from Johns Hopkins, there were only 27 new diagnoses and 132 recoveries yesterday, continuing a weeks long trend of decreasing numbers of active cases. Korea never had to lock down the way NYC is doing, and people have been starting to relax for a while now, so it seems possible things could be returning to normal without a second wave, although of course the threat is still real.
Based on this, how much should I indulge in this lack of lockdown luxury? Can I start going to the gym again? What about using the subway every day? It's hard to know where to draw the line. Perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself, it'll be four more days of quarantine before I get to have these problems.
