More troubles

More troubles I fear for my fellow Americans. The latest news the virus is that only about 3% of the Los Angeles population has been infected, so that means the rest of 97% are in danger of infection, assuming you cannot get the problem twice. Immunity is not clear from a one time infection. Also the virus can mutate and there may be no immunity another strain if that occurs. The seasonal flu does come in new flavors each year. So that could mean we have this threat for years or even decades! The protestors over George Floyd seem to have forgotten we have a pandemic happening. Most pictures did not show social distancing, people wearing masks and awareness of the danger. The latest CDC numbers show more than 23,000 new cases daily in the U.S. If one percent of those die that is another 2,300 dead in weeks or so. The news is about 93% of those who die have a pre-existing medical problem, most often high blood pressure. Other popular problems are lung issues, heart issues, and kidney issues. made worse by obesity which strains the body. Air pollution including tear gas makes lung function worse too. Those over age 60 are higher risk for serious illness. Perhaps 50% of the infected show no symptoms but are still contagious to others. We are just at the first start of this problem. Sadly, eating, drinking and<b> singing </font></b>together is a perfect way to transmit the virus to new people. So sensible people will be careful and try not to get infected. With the current behavior we can expect another 100,000 to 200,000 more dead Americans from Covid 19 by November. If we had been smart like British Columbia, Canada we could have kept the deaths to a much lower number. A terrible shame. I have not had a haircut in months and wear my shaggy locks proudly... |

I reckon the protesters to be cognizant of the dangers for the most part. How could anyone not be by this point? In spite of these fears they are pressing forward. It seems that other issues have outweighed the fear of virus. I watch with much anticipation as all this plays out- (from the relative safety of home). blog on!

New Zealand and Iceland are also great and virus free at this point.
