Being it was not tried in the opposite way of remaining open and working. There is nothing saying that it would be completely behind us right now. Can only speculate.
The flu too yes like Corona can lead into pneumonia which can but not always leave you with lung damage. And yes if severe you will need to be placed on ventilator.
And im willing to bet if and when they come out with this vaccine. It will be similar in results as the flu shot. Hit or miss.
You’re absolutely right, I feel the same way, I will always soldier on too, except....
This thing it’s too unknown, it’s like the flu but it’s different.
Like pneumonia, if a loved one gets sick, it’s still bad either way!
Take as much care as you can mate!
As you said wash your hands etc
But for the sake of looking after yourself and family and all of you for the time being, wear a bandanna or something in those places people can cough on your back etc
When we had virus here I hung my respirator around my neck, was enough to remind me not to touch my face and also kept people away from me.
It’s not you, it’s them...hell when we were kids masks woulda been hilarious...or we would have made them hilarious! That’s how I see it now.
Our state has eliminated the virus completely, luckily!!
The state next door has flared up/second wave and it’s like the virus is out and loose this time/community transmission isn’t traceable.
First they said to us masks weren’t important because we had it under control.
Now it’s loose -community transmission they have made masks mandatory in that state...not nice but it’s still possible for containment.
Protect yourself for you mate
