hey richard,
THIS virus, this worsethaneverhorribleplaguecursedeath zommbifiingeatyourbrainandkillyoudeaderthandead covd 19 has .26 % fatality. and lots of no to mild symptom cases.
i'm betting on my (and YOUR) 99.8% chances of being JUST FINE. especially if you're breathing lots of oxygen, smiling, eating organic, drinking pure water, taking zinc, D, C and probiotics, getting some exercise and love.
i happen to be in the double vulnerable category, so you know that expression 'you bet your life'? i am.
for shopping, banking, lobbies i don requisite face covering. for those in fear i stay distanced.
with the more informed, sane and healthy, we are people together as we ever have been and ever will be.
by and large, the distinction this particular virus will have is not in its uniqueness but in world's response to it.
