Don't let this bullshit fool you (states opening)

37. You are correct, I wonder how many people in charge at all levels actually have

INDIVIDUALS' interests at heart? Yes, we know more now, we are more prepared, more people are wearing gear...but the risk to individuals is still significant. As significant as two months ago, really. I'm happy for the larger community that we have flattened the curve for now. I'm still unhappy for the individuals who have the misfortune to contract this beast of a virus.

Because of the lockdown in California, I had more recently believed that the spread had been limited...that every fourth or fifth person wasn't contagious as serious hot spots can be...that incidence was fairly rare in Orange County. Now, we are back to thinking that we don't really know how many people have become contagious during the last week or two of beach openings and the like. I've driven through several of these beach communities and it is clear some are careful, some are not at all. it feels like just before the lockdown...we just don't know what is going on. As Fauci said, whatever we see is going on we are two weeks behind the virus reality.

If there is testing and reporting, perhaps in a week or two we will know if cases are on the upswing again. Until then...trying not to forget and get more relaxed with protocol. If there isn't testing and reporting then we just need good luck.
