Those models say we have more than enough resources I mean we aren't even close to maxing out. This brings me to my next question. I'm ready to see D14. She lives with H but can't stand him so she only sees him at dinner and she stays on a different floor. He's high risk but I feel better knowing she isn't having anything to do with him. She's so desperate she says she's willing to wear a mask. S19 is a germaphobe so what can I do to help him feel safe?
All's quiet here, work continues at a snail's pace and still no word on funding for my Paycheck Protection loan - I'm pretty resigned to not getting it, but it would be a big help if I could. I'm not stressing too much, looking at it as a temporary period of retirement but still having to work lol. (I'm drawing on retirement funds).
Newest data out of NYC shows 25% of the population infected and 0.77% fatality rate among all those infected (including mild and asymptomatic cases). However, if you look at the excess mortality figures - most of which could safely be assumed to be due to Covid - the fatality rate is more likely 1% or higher.
At a 1% fatality rate, if only 25% of the entire US got infected (a very conservative estimate) we could expect around 850k deaths before this is done. If 50% of the USA eventually gets infected, that's 1.7 million deaths.
Just because things are quiet where you live FOR NOW, thanks to the lockdowns, don't assume you won't be seeing more, especially once we open up and people start tp travel. So keep wearing a mask in public, advocate for others to do so as well (thank goodness they are req
She lives with H but can't stand him so she only sees him at dinner and she stays on a different floor.
Sounds like she's fairly low risk then. How about she showers before she comes, wears a mask and keeps 6 foot distance, washes her hands when she comes into the house and takes off her shoes? I know it seems like a lot but it would keep everybody safe and lessen the stress on your son.
For comparison - my boyfriend has lung cancer and my oldest son works in a grocery store stocking shelves at night. Son wears a mask at work and washed his hands and cleans his phone the minute he comes in the house - even before he pets the cat. He doesn't wear a mask inside but keeps 6 foot distance at all times. I haven't hugged him in over a month. We wipe every handle and surface in the kitchen with disinfectant before my boyfriend and I cook. I wipe down the bannister on the stairs. I am normally so NOT a germophobe but this is the reality we are in now.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
