Now back to your regular station for IDENTIFICATION........

Since I am in the last 10 posts, my suggestion, as before when you posted something like this, is to opt out of the thread. Your opinion is not constructive. That is my opinion not a feeling.

Haha.. LoL.. Jerry Springer, this whole thread is pretty much that. That’s why you keep coming back! Good ratings!

And, I don’t think we were discussing feelings. We were discussing people passing their judgement on others in a harmful manner on a thread that is supposed to be, good information in times of need.

I am thankful for your post about service members. I read the unedited version that was very opinionated. One could say it sure appeared the writer had strong feelings. LoL..

100,000 dead. A sad milestone.

This is another good read. Virus is here to stay, and will become the 5th dominant strain of the Coronavirus that together causes the common cold.

Herd immunity, as mentioned by crystalworks, seems an increasing possibility.

A lot more heartache and death will happen before our body adapts to this virus and the effects of the virus reduces as a result.

Or/and it mutates to a less deadly strain. There is speculation Singapore's strain is weaker and is the cause for their good looking figures. But I haven't seen any actual studies backing that up.

Edit: I agree with that article that the virus probably going to be a 5th coronavirus that goes through infection cycles. A vaccine will eventually be developed but it will be like getting the flu vaccine. Some of the other stuff in the article is pie in the sky stuff like touchless doors at every business and all crosswalk buttons being touchless. I'm sure some businesses will implement these additions (some have had them for decades already) but widespread total adoption seems far-fetched.

For the first month or so I was worried about this virus killing larger swathes of the population and was very concerned. Now, I'm still concerned, but really only worry about the lives of my and my wife's parents. We will continue to wear masks and not see them if we have recently been sick. Basically flu precautions with the addition of the mask when going into public. Definitely won't eat out at a sit down restaurant for a loooooong time.

My major concern has shifted to the unemployment and domestic supply-side issues more than covid19. Plus the ballooning national debt, possible inflation. Then add a dash of concern over China possibly being more culpable than is currently known and triggering conflict.

100,000 dead now and 41,000,000 unemployed. Sad times indeed.

Edit x2:. Also would add taking a vitamin d supplement can't hurt. We have been taking it after seeing some of the data coming out. Zinc is also supposed to help. All of this is to boost the immune system and shows effectiveness at preventing infection as well as lowering the severity of symptoms should you get infected.

FYI-If one chooses to take supplemental vitamin D it should be limited to 600 IU per day, especially if taken for more than a few months.Too much vitamin D can cause other problems.

Everyone should check with their GPs. Mine recommended 1000 IU.

According to the ominously titled source below 4000 IU daily is considered the upper limit of safe but a general recommendation of 600 - 800 IU daily was given. If you have other health conditions listed in the article you might want to avoid altogether. Didn't see any mention of limiting to a few months.
