So I'm thinking that WHEN we get shut down again in the fall / winter, shouldn't the number of cold and flu cases be lower than they normally would be in any other year? If we're not around each other as much so that we don't spread the Rona, then that should also make the other nasties harder to spread.August seems like it's an eternity away so November feels like it may never come. I'm terrified to see what the cases look like nationwide when it gets cold outside and cold and flu season start raging - as will COVID, even though it hasn't even stopped. We did that entire shutdown for nothing. It's going to take another one to contain this thing and that's going to require leadership from the top, something we've really been lacking throughout this whole thing. Louisiana postponing their phase three opening isn't enough, IMO. We should at least be rolling back to phase one. Edwards catch phrase of "People are saying they're done with the virus. Well, the virus isn't done with us," isn't enough to get people to take this seriously. You see it everywhere you go. Nobody (a majority of people really) is taking this thing seriously as the cases continue to skyrocket all around us.
