I have nothing to add to that except:
When AIDS first showed up they said 4 groups had a high probability of getting it. Homosexual men, Haitians, people who rely on blood transfusions and heroin addicts. They said to practice safe sex(Use a condom), don't share needles, only use tested blood for transfusions and refer to yourself as Dominican instead of Haitian. OK, I made the last 1 up. Yet cases continued to rise up until 1996 when death from AIDS dropped significantly. People were warned what to do to avoid what use to be a certain death sentence. Yet they continued to behave in ways that didn't prevent the disease.AA's & Hispanics have the highest percentage of positive cases. Are they being talked to about changing their ways.? Nope. Lets blame everyone instead of attacking the problem areas. I've eaten in several restaurants the past few months without issue. I follow the rules.
For some reason its blame the Republicans & conservatives for these spikes when they know who's to blame. They don't want to upset the people they count on to vote for them.
I made the comment about Thanksgiving being the test run and wait until Christmas and New Years on the 25th of November...I fully expect our dear governor to announce the cancellation of Christmas gatherings. In another note I did hear that there were 5 COVID deaths at St. Maryβs Hospital yesterday. Donβt know about underlying conditions, race, age etc. I just know I am not going to argue with a health care worker about COVID.

confirmed. Let me state again, I didnβt ask if they had any preexisting conditions that made COVID worse, their age, race etc.Are those 5 deaths confirmed or just rumor?

Fast forward to today. We know who the vulnerable groups are. Shielding them from the virus would serve everyone better and prevent needless deaths. Requiring all to take the same preventive measures as the vulnerable is overkill. Especially when those measures mandate committing to what constitutes economic suicide.
I've lost two people to COVID - so I'm not among those who deny it's a problem.
I know zero people who've died of Covid, or even "Covid complications". I know one person who got sick with it, and he recovered after a brief illness and is fine now.
I'm not questioning you, I'm just curious why everyone else knows scores of people who are dropping like flies from this virus, but not one single person I know has died from it and I only know one person who was even sick. Do I just not know enough people?

Youβre traveling through rural cities and staying outdoors in a campground. Thatβs the lowest risk I feel like.
In other news, I just found out my mom's cousin is dying from Covid
