Folks, this virus is a (several expletives deleted) problem: to be fair, it's sucks.
But what we are learning now is that it is not bars, restaurants, health clubs or other venues that are following the guidelines. Right here in Ontario, that's become obvious, when several urban areas returned to closing those venues -- and the cases continued to rise. The cases rose for no other reason than that people insisted on having large gatherings for Thanksgiving (it's earlier in Canada), and on going to private parties, and doing all sorts of others stuff that government can't legitimately shut down.
Governments are not going to fix this! Until we all -- us ordinary folks -- figure out that we are the cause, we are the vector, then this is just going to go on and on. Trump's promises about a vaccine "almost immediately" are rubbish. He knows it, I know it, the medical profession knows it -- Fox News is silent about it (of course).
Here's the deal, everybody -- if 95% of all us followed the very few, excessively simple rules, this thing would be almost over already. Keep your social distance, when you can't, wear a mask, carry your hand sanitizer with you and use, and wash your hands frequently.
We all do that? Then we'll be back to almost normal in weeks, not months. Viruses have a short life-span -- if they can't find a new host quickly, they die. If you protect yourself and others, you deny them access to a new host.
This could not possibly be simpler. Why is it so difficult for supposedly intelligent people to understand?
