    I'm not so sure on either account. It used to be that "we don't want hospitalizations"----now it's changed to "we don't want anyone to get it".

    The narrative has totally changed. This is because it was never truly about the virus, but about something else.

  7. Common sense is long gone in dealing with this virus, among other things. Another bit of goofy policy. Go to the checkout and the plexiglass is protecting you from the cashier, you know, the person who just touched everything being handed to you.:banghead:

  9. That is why we all:

    Wash our hands or hand sani when we leave the store or take off gloves
    Avoid toucing face until we get home and wash hands
    Wipe down the groceries when we get home just in case to clean the surface
    Wash our hands again afterwards

    I know it is hard for you to get how it works but the rest of us do...

  10. It's a magic virus is all I know. Risk here, no risk there. Transmission over here, but not over there. All bullshit. There is what's possible, and then there is what's probable. Probability of death is virtually zero. Possibility, anyone can guess. Don't go outside today, there is a possibility that a meteorite might hit you in the head.
