Also wanted to add that Sweden probably has many more deaths per capita than reported because they chose to not test or treat people over a certain body mass or 80 years of age when their medical system was overwhelmed. This is a fantastic article from science mag about Sweden's herd immunity experiment. ‘It’s been so, so surreal.’ Critics of Sweden’s lax pandemic policies face fierce backlash | Science | AAAS

I will not be driving a vehicle alone n wear a mask. If I’m outside keeping a distance, I will live life like always. If someone is sneezing away like crazy or coughing their heads off then I will politely get away from them. If your sick stay away from people. Flu n cold season is around the corner, this will get interesting. Science and doctors told us all kinds of things: When warm summer comes this was going away. Nobody remembers half of what they told us because they flip-flop on everything. I can’t keep up with all the experts, and the differing opinions. If some mask don’t work then why are they so popular everywhere? In spite of everything life is good! If we shut the television off, life gets better The news 24/7 is driving some absolutely crazy! Don’t believe the ... (nonsense).

Who would spend millions of dollars to prove that inexpensive supplements can boost the immune system and possibly prevent disease? The pharmaceutical companies won't fund these trials.

Our number of cases doesn't look good today. Looks like it is not going away and scientists were correct in our getting a second wave of virus.
I am hunkering down as I have been since start. There will be a lot less Villagers if everybody thinks it is over.

My own thoughts are probably a combination of more people getting back to work and school and obviously getting exposed, and more test results. 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.
