Bottom line: If we do nothing and go on about our daily lives, our medical facilities will end up overwhelmed. Just think about that for a minute, because none of us know when we might need a hospital. China had to build new hospitals! I realize it seems overblown and we are all on info overload, but we all have to do our part. I pray this ends soon. We are all so worried about our parents and grandparents. This virus is baffling doctors everywhere, and I fear this is a marathon not a sprint.
I know some people who are pro-vaccine, but anti-shutdown? The purpose of vaccinating is to protect the vulnerable and to prevent outbreaks that overwhelm the medical system, the same goals of shutting things down. People are so weird.
@BusyMommy : I keep seeing people on the local news complaining about all the closures. Some were about to hop on a cruise. 😳 They just don't get it! It's much easier to prevent a problem than to fix it.
