I am hunkering down as I have been since start. There will be a lot less Villagers if everybody thinks it is over.
A little statistic. 8 million currently infected, 328 million U.S. population means there are around 320 million people yet to be infected. When the 320 million go back to their normal activities which is inevitable, there will be a spike in infections. If there is a vaccine approved and distributed, that will reduce the problem, but not eliminate it. For most, going back to work is a matter of survival. You will 100% not survive without a job, medical insurance, or a home, but Covid-19 is 99% survivable. Being part of the older population, I have no idea how long I have before the lights go out, but I don't intend to sit at home and wait on it. If I wind up being one of the 1% that don't make it, so be it.
