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

North Dakota is requesting medical staff to work if asymptotic there is no pool left for traveling nurse recruiters because they are already deployed. A group of South Korean nurses are being deployed to the US along with Air Force and Army nurses due to shortages in some areas.

Probably not many (any?), people around here are more responsible than that. I haven't seen or heard anyone sneezing or coughing in quite a while. My guess (which is also my guiding assumption) is most people who are contagious have not been tested because they are not showing any symptoms. Be careful, wear a mask, and distance from everyone.

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?

Proves that opting for even modest exposure might not work. At your (my) age, staying home and waiting for the vaccine might be a good idea. That’s what I’ve been doing and will continue. I really don’t like the odds. And there are way too many people who selfishly and stubbornly refuse to follow the advice of the most expert and experienced doctors and epidemiologists.

I know someone who has admitted that he went to Home Depot while sick with Covid. It happens a lot I bet. :ohdear: And now he hugs people because he thinks he's immune to it. Reinfections happen and sometimes turn out to be even worse. Needless to say, I stay well back of him when he speaks to me.

Just go on with your life. Wear your mask, wash your hands and social distance when possible. Its not going away, all will get it. Even when vaccines come out we will need annual vaccines for new strains. If we would have let it run its course 2.3 million Americans would die and the virus would fizzle in 2 years. The virus is being used to eliminate the middle class and make the rich richer.
