    Thanks very much! I'll take a look.

    Why are we all sitting at home?

    The comment I just addressed seems to have disappeared. Makes it looks like I'm talking to myself. (For which I'm fully expecting to receive my very first thumbs-up.)

    Can you give me the link to that CDC website?

    Why are we all sitting at home?

    Considering the implications of a continued lockdown and an understanding amongst the populace that visiting their grandmother could kill her, I don't think people would act as thoughtlessly as to defy any mandates by any significant measure. Take a look at the comment I posted somewhere...

    Let's take a look at our current strategy for fighting Covid 19. We've decided we're going to fight this contagion by "playing it safe."

    Thanks for the welcome! I'm not even sure I understand the strategy. One thing is for sure, we aren't going to be able to afford to have everyone at home for the next year and a half until a vaccine might be developed. That's just a non debatable fact. The genie is out of the bottle, there's...

    Why are we all sitting at home?

    Does the current method for combatting Covid 19 make any sense at all? Why are we keeping almost every American at home with businesses shut when the vast majority of cases only prove deadly or serious enough to be admitted to a hospital to a relatively small percentage of the population...
