"Herd immunity" sounded more like an agricultural term as opposed to an actuarial point of view to me. Like he's running a bleedn farm, rounding up the cattle for the slaughter. And to say we 'need' to be infected to become immune to the virus is only speaking to the younger generations of the population.. A better, more effective plan of action from him is what is truly 'needed'. Especially for the elderly people of ours, for whom this is deadly. His advice to continue going about our daily lives, going to school and stuff is wrong! That just makes us be part of the problem in the continuous spread whilst other countries are on lockdown just wanting the virus gone XIt seems like a plan drawn up from an actuarial point of view rather than a public health one. They do sound convincing when they talk about it, but I'm not sure.
PERFECT!!

The "panic" has now hit and shoppers are filling the grocery stores. In my town, just this morning, I heard people saying "Hope you like almond butter
'cause that's all that's left." Exaggeration, I bet/hope. I happily avoided even having to go into this Shop Rite, as we stocked up a couple weeks ago, even though cashiers were side-eyeing us back then.
My cats however, who are truly pigs disguised as cats, needed more food..and litter. (Well, in my mind they did.) So I braved the Pet Value. Fairly empty, though one shopper was coughing and sneezing (UGH!) and the other let her little girl roam around the store touching everything (UGH #2). I tried to hold my breath and breathe through the Lysol wipe when I had to. (Probably worse for me.)
Downside to this - now that the word is out, the store had hundreds of people in there, standing in line in close proximity. So much for social distancing.
Also, the 3 kitties in Pet Value looking for homes are not getting much interest from adoptees. Makes me want to bring them home with me.
DH would not be amused.
Thats great. We were talking about this last night. The sports leagues and ESPN should get together and stream or broadcast on TV classic games from the last 50 or so years in the spots where live games are usually played. Give people something to do
