I saw a craft fair on Powell Rd and there was hardly anyone there.

Apparently that is a favorite pass time on TOTV.

Many of the homes in Sumter County are also in the 32162 zip code.

Don't hear anything about tracking any more; here or nationally ! Anyone remember back to late last summer when they were manically recruiting "trackers" everywhere in nearly every city and state.... not heard much after that ! ?

I read that no one was prepared to cooperate with the trackers, so it probably died of natural causes.

I am sure that is true and it is just asking for cases and deaths.

Her family (husband and son - home from college) also tested positive - no symptoms. I realize there are people who are vulnerable and a positive test result may be a very bad thing - a death sentence - and, yes, I have personally experienced similar loss. In Nov 2009 - in the middle of H1N1 outbreak - my mom - suffering from something else quickly passed when her system was stressed by H1N1 - but her death certificate did not list H1N1 as the cause of her death - death was due to heart failure. Today, maybe because of politics - there is a spotlight on Covid - when, in fact, battling viruses has always been (and will continue to be) a fight for many. I am more worried about the viruses I was exposed to decades ago..... sure testing positive w/Covid - can be scary and may result in some serious conditions (and death) - but for MANY/MOST - there are no or very slight symptoms. There are many viruses that are out there (may already be a threat to you & those you love) that will *never go away once you are diagnosed with them*! Those are the ones I fear. Take care of yourself - do not indulge, take care of the body you have been blessed with, take precautions to avoid threats from all type of viruses that have always been out there (and will always be out there). If I had a choice of a virus to get - believe me - Covid would be at the top of my list. I’d trade an hiv, hpv, hsv positive —— any day for a Covid positive!

That is one of the most strange conclusions about CV that I have ever heard or read anywhere on TV or in this forum. Quite unique in my opinion!

Which could crush hospitals and social service and boomerang back on everyone! Worst-case scenario is that the US loses it's economic and political status and Russia or China fill that vacuum!

In terms of valid statistics, number of cases compared to whatever time we choose to put in. The statistics have yet to be properly collected and likely never will be.

Colorado is in less of a "state" of panic.

That is the same situation as IF you see a mushroom cloud from an H bomb, then it is too LATE to run away from it...........You can NOT do contract tracing now because the US is too far gone with CV. It is the worst in the world. We COULD have done tracing in May or June. Too LATE now, sports fans, that horse has left our barn.
