I agree with you and everyone else. I am probably worse because I am a hypercondriac.

Stay home if your worried otherwise the rest of us need to work!!

I agree that shutting everything down is not possible. Even if it was possible, think of all of the needless misery, suffering and death that would result from not being able to get healthcare, prescriptions filled, food, etc. What would happen to people in nursing homes, assisted living? Would the staff be required to quarantine with the residents or would the residents be on their own? The best course of action really is for people to do their own individual risk assessments and mitigate their own risks as best they can, as necessary.

Good informative post! Thanks.

Not every increase is a spike. Most of the country has seen a tremendous increase in the last month and it would be foolish to expect this area to not see anything. There has been an increase and people need to be extra careful but is it enough to call it a spike?

80% of the TV Landers that I know and associate with are NOT what I would call responsible people. They think and DO just what the others in their sphere do. (as in sheep)

You are so correct! I think you should be elected major of TV Land and have more power to make decisions than the developers.

Maybe YOU should not associate with IRRESPONSIBLE people.

Well if you associate with them are you not in their sphere?

That boy is a sicky (mentally) and as you said, he does not give a flying ant about humanity.

The virus is being used to eliminate the middle class and make the rich richer.

The middle class has already been effectively destroyed. Normal life will return IF and WHEN a vaccine is AVAILABLE to everyone. Yes, everyone will NOT take the vaccine, but ENOUGH will.

Not necessarily, I could be part of the OTHER 20%.

[graciegirl]

There is debate. And there are summary assessments.

And then there is just plain angry- at- almost- everybody- all- of -the -time posts.

We may change our names but our personality glows like headlights.

But you still associate with them

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

I'd go get tested. It's not big deal.

[sallybowron]

I have to wonder how you had a group of twenty people when ten people is supposed to be the top limit. Don't big groups add to the chances of getting Covid?
