A long way from herd immunity
-
Such great news as we go into autumn. I predict the level of despair will rise faster than Covid cases now that we are entering a new season, jobs dim more, kids stare at zoom screens all day near their parents, college graduates have protesting as their one thing they can do and people migrate indoors and have to cope with seasonal affective disorder.
Not good at all. The fear we are creating is the worst thing we can do for mental health. Just watch.

I think fear has given way to caution for the most part. I know we are going out a lot more than we were in the spring. We know more about the virus and how it is transmitted, what activities are more or less risky.

A whole lot of people are working from home. You go by large office complexes and you will see nearly empty parking lots. Companies have adapted just like schools have and will continue to do so.
I don't see any great fear in the ones who are not, and those kind of jobs are plentiful around here right now. In July both my daughter and her roommate got multiple jobs in NC within a couple weeks.
