But for some people it is fatal; the percentages are very very almost extremely low.
I do wash my hands often (but always did), and wear a mask in any store that requires it, but other than that, I don't wear one. I also stay away from large indoor crowds. Other than that, I figure that if I get it, then I get it. Will I die from it? I hardly think so. But then again, I'm going to die from something, someday.
Your summary echo's many thoughts of many people. Couple that with the pause of testing on vaccines. I had been hanging on to the hope for a vaccine that would at least diminish some of the risk of Covid-19 by November or December, but last night's National News seems to push that hope back a couple of months.

What I miss the most is painting in the art room at Laurel Manor regional rec center. About now snowbirds would begin joining our group again. The group has some amazingly gifted artists and watching what appears on their canvases is a joy all it's own.

The art class is there and I am sure people are there too. I try to remember that these are choices and I prefer to not risk groups just yet.
