In the spring when we knew nothing of the virus, it was logical to lock down, close your eyes and stay away from everything hoping it will go away soon.
At this point, a lot of us are better informed, have learn how to stay safe, what to do and what not to do.
This virus is worse now than it was in the spring, the numbers are higher, the infection rate is accelerated and tracking it is harder, the virus has evolved and we have found out that it can repeat, once you get it you are not immune you can get it again. even worse many who got the virus have lingering effects and other illnesses derived from getting the virus.
So, why aren't they locking down as they did in the spring?
because the collateral damage is worse, unemployment, post trauma effects, from the lock down, anti social behavior, burnouts and stress-related absenteeism many will suffer from stress related aftermath side effects.
Best Solution ???
Get your-self educated about the virus, learn to live with it, continued with your life as if nothing was happening BUT stay safe.
Everything seems to indicate this virus will be here for a few years to come at least 2 maybe 3, Do you want to stay lock down and live misinformed and in the dark for the next 36 months?
We are social animals, we need human contact we need to talk to people and inter act with others, staying away from everything and everyone is not and option.
