Good grief? 47,750 AMERICANS have died from Corona virus, wildtoad. How many more before you become...concerned?
And 90% of that number are from high density areas, with crowded sidewalks, make high use of public transportation. Am I concerned about getting the virus? Sure but not to the level of wanting to crawl under a rock until it goes away. Going to a state park, staying in my own MH, staying on my own site, eating my own food (mostly), walking on the mostly empty beach, vacant walking trails will make catching or transmitting the virus such a low risk as not to be measurable.
Different areas of the country, state, county (Parrish for some), towns are experiencing more or less cases of this thing and should react accordingly. Mandating Everyone stay home until every area is cleared of the virus is not a solution.
It’s time for those areas less affected to start letting the people get back to work. Not for their mental health necessarily but to start to rebuild the economy. The stay at home policy has driven many farmers to destroy freshly harvested vegetables, oil companies , cruise lines, airlines, hotels, thousands of restaurants going or coming close to going out of business. I fear the fallout from the cure far more than the disease!
