he whole thing is nuts, honestly. It seems every time someone has a reasonable theory that gives us some hope, the expectations end up getting dashed.
Just know that we will survive, the world is not ending. The fearmongering wanted this to be Spanish Flu, but it has not yet surpassed the Asian Flu or Hong Kong Flu pandemics.
It was novel, but it's not like our immune systems can't handle it.
Wash your hands, try to avoid obviously sick people, stay home if you're sick has been and still is the best advice.
The mitigation strategies should never have been forced upon us as they already knew they didn't work.

The thing that concerns me now is if this doesn't start easing up soon, we're going to have people fighting both the flu and COVID at once.
This should be happening in the Southern Hemisphere now, and likely happened here during the height of everything. Flu season peaked in mid-February in the USA this year.

Oh don't worry, I agree. I'm just concerned for some family and close friends who happen to have or are going through other medical issues that could make this deadly to them. That's my biggest fear in all of this. My wife's practice has already lost several patients and some friends of ours have lost family members. It would just be nice to see some light at the end of the tunnel. This is weighing on everyone.

I think the lockdowns were likely unnecessary, but there's plenty of supportive data for most masks. I wish that were not a political sticking point for people. Masks and social distancing and I think we could generally carry on and see a decrease in cases.

Hopefully, the two converging won't have the impact that I fear it may. Nothing we can do but wait it out and see.
