early 50's, and our daughter is only 15. Anytime any of us leave the house we wear a mask. However, only about 25% of the people that we have dealt with (hubby at work, hubby and daughter while grocery shopping) are wearing masks. Currently the death rate in our county is around 40%. And yes, our state is opening "slowly" even though we have cases on the rise, and too many deaths.

I am sorry, but I don't think it is worth it to risk so many lives just because some people want to get their hair done, go shopping, go to a bar or restaurant, or whatever.

By the way, anyone involved in the growing, processing, delivering or selling of food is an essential worker, so the only reason for a food shortage would be if the workers get sick and no one is well enough or willing to take their place.

Yes, even tropical countries get flu season. Singapore is just entering, Ecuador just exiting. Brazil I think in middle. bsbbtnh Apr 28, 14:02

"flu season" doesn't kill 55k people in two months, even in the face of a virtual shutdown of society. unchecked, it would be exponentially tentin quarentino Apr 28, 15:39

I never said it did. Just that viruses spread best in certain conditions. We can't close down society for 2 years. bsbbtnh Apr 28, 15:53

SOME viruses spread best in certain conditions. If you're talking about warmer weather, then why is it flouirshing in warmer climates now? {nm} JDolphin Apr 28, 21:46
