It is my belief that we can roll out waves of folks returning to the workforce with the less vulnerable leading the way. Also if we are going along with pandoras box of local governments limiting our freedoms, how do we eventually close it?
As Ghost said above, and I'll follow up on, there are not enough tests available to tell whether or not any of us have had it (sans the folks who have met the criteria and actually received a test). Around the beginning of January, for about 24 hours, starting Sunday morning I had a case of the body aches/shivers/fatigue, similar to what some may say are flu-like symptoms. Now whether or not that was Coronavirus is up for debate, all I know is that for about two weeks, I combated a steady dry cough and running nose. So I may or may not have contracted it.
This is likely turning into a seasonal thing that we are just gonna have to combat. While a vaccine is being developed, how do we build herd immunity when the majority of folks are quarantined?
