Austin just canceled SXSW. Is it safe to think Nationals will go on as planned. Is it safe to do so. I really want to go to Nationals, but I am 71 and concerned.
As 67King mentioned and I referenced in an earlier post, no human has known immunity to this strain. Therefore, there is no "cure" at this point. So, the best course of action is the same as we have followed in the past - the same guidelines that are currently posted. IMO, nothing more is needed. Some will get sick, some will die, the majority will be just fine - same old, same old. If I am one of those who die, so be it - it is part of life, so-to-speak.

Paul, I know you responded to Elaine, but I sense by your response that what I posted was not very clear. This virus is markedly different than the same old same old in two ways. One, the mortality rate is an order of magnitude higher than the best comparator we have and two, this thing is mutating factors more quickly than what we have seen before.
And that is just what we DO know. There are things we do not. This thing could just disappear in the coming weeks as the temperature climbs. Or it could mutate yet again and thrive in 90ndegree temperatures.
I don't tell my kids' coach how to do his job, even when I think he kisses stuff. I'm damn sure incompetent to tell the CDC how to do theirs. I trust professionals. Even when I may think they are being over cautious.
But hey, I am also vaccinate my kids, so what do I know?
