I would suggest that our low death rate has more to do with the fact most of us do not work and with the shutdowns by the rec. dept., we have very little to do outside the home. also, as seniors, we understand the threat to our health and have followed advice to stay in as much as possible and when we go out we follow guidelines and mask policies.
Visual evidence conflicts with that suggestion. People are moving about almost as if nothing is going on. Half the people do not wear masks and many of them are playing cards (in my neighborhood) or Mahjong, golf and pickleball. And according to many on here, they all should be dead by now. Sorry, if I still think there is more to this than what we know right now. Half the seniors in The Villages should be dead by now, but it's not even close. More on the outside where it is less crowded are dropping.
Like I said before, I wonder what makes the difference. It certainly is not JUST masks or half of us would be dead.
