Not that I know of in our small village. But I have told you about two friends in Country Club Hills and two long time friends in Ohio. The first two were badly sickened and hospitalized and the second two, married so happily for years died within ten days of each other.
I just heard of neighbors that attended the rally in Sanford.
It is a microbe, a little infectious thing that passes in the air and is capable of serious complications. Much like the old fashioned measles.
I would not take a precious little person anywhere that I knew had the possibility of causing serious illness. No matter what was happening or wonderful the event. I would not want my older friends who I cherish to be exposed to an illness that could place them in ICU. It is really quite simple. Have we forgotten the diseases that many of us older people witnessed before there were treatments and vaccines for them?
There is yet to be found an answer to Covid-19. It mercifully doesn't seem to target small children, although some have died. 80% of it's victims are over 70.
I still wouldn't say to folks in their fifties or younger to just "run and play".
I am not a medically trained person. I taught little ones for decades and we were very careful of them in the classroom. That was before both parents worked outside the home.
I am not paranoid. I am not frightened but I am doing what the center for disease control suggests. (or at least the latest things they suggest) They can't help it. The world is STILL in the fact finding mode about this little ******* killer.
