Ok, I get it. I probably sound insensitive and come off as an asshole. Apologies to BARF if that is the case.
Johndice, your situation may be that you are older and in a higher risk category and are worried about this. Understandable.
May also be the case that this has not affected you economically and you can work from home or have the money to ride this out, I suspect this is the case with most BARFers because many here are older, living in one of the wealthiest parts of the world and on average are upper middle class or better.
We have had hardly any balance in all of this. There are no solutions as they say, only trade offs.
The true economic and social implications of this are just now starting to be felt.
Covid is nowhere near as dangerous as we thought it was 6 months ago.
For the trillions we have blown we could have given gold plated care to the vulnerable and let everyone else carry on in a level headed adult fashion. Instead we blew up the global economy, destroyed small business, made a few billionaires and the biggest corporations more wealthy and powerful and quite likely altered our society forever.
I also understand we tend to only think of things happening here in the US, but please consider those not as fortunate as us in other parts of the world.
What is coming will make Covid look like....the flu.
