I’m trying to think positive!
Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn’t, lol.Totally.
It’s like the old saying, “hope for the best, prepare for the worst.”Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn’t, lol.

Aww, you’re so kind. (((hugs)))Thinking positively can certainly help the mental health, Snoods. I think that many will be feeling the stress, and that will take its toll.
And putting those positive vibes out there .... the universe may respond with kindness and resolution.
Congrats to your friend! My niece had her baby yesterday, she will stay in hospital a few days longer because of c-section. Only hubby allowed.A friend became a great-granddaddy in Houston two days ago. No-one could go near baby and mum while in the hospital - except the dad - current hospital rules. Baby and mum had a quick release from the hospital and are home now.
What a tumultuous time little baby has been born into.
So basically everyone in America is stressed.From the above link;
“Nearly 2 in 3 adults (66%) say the government response to the COVID-19 pandemic is a significant source of stress.* Of those, 84% say the federal government response is a significant source of stress, followed by state government (72%) and local government (64%). Democrats (73%) are significantly more likely than Republicans (59%) to cite the government response as a source of stress but are only slightly more likely than Independents (68%) to say so. Gen X (ages 42 to 55) (75%) is by far the most likely to say the government response to the COVID-19 pandemic is a significant source of stress, compared to 63% of Gen Z adults (18 to 23), 67% of millennials (24 to 41), 62% of boomers (56 to 74) and 56% of older adults (75+).*”
[...]
“Overall, more than 6 in 10 Americans (63%) agree that the thought of the U.S. reopening causes them stress, but just over 7 in 10 adults (72%) say they are confident they can protect themselves from coronavirus once the U.S. reopens. At the same time, 65% say they wish they had more information about what they should do as their community reopens.*
Parents Stress About the Long-Term Impacts of COVID-19 on Children
Most parents (71%) say they are worried about the impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on their child’s social development, and more than half (55%) report their child has been acting out more since the start of the pandemic.* And while almost 7 in 10 parents (69%) say they are looking forward to their child’s school year being over, 3 in 5 (60%) say they are currently struggling to keep their child occupied, and the same proportion (60%) say they have no idea how they are going to keep their child occupied all summer.*
Despite these challenges, more than 4 in 5 parents (82%) agree that they are grateful for the additional time they’ve had with their child during the coronavirus pandemic.”
We are not going for herd immunity, sorry I should have been more clear. I was speaking of the US that appears to be going for herd immunity - with its confusing approach.
We have been protecting the indigenous in our country as much as possible. Blocking off traditional lands for them so that infected others cannot go in.
It would be devastating for them if we went for herd immunity. A concept of social distancing does not exist for them, and their genetics apparently makes them much more susceptible to the virus.
