Thank you for the reply. There did seem a deep disconnect from what I’ve observed, and noted from online sources, and the extent of reactions from local to global.

To be safe, I’ve kept my hands washed after every contact with the unfamiliar. Kept my phones disinfected, my lap tops. I discounted the danger, nonetheless. However,. It seems like half of LA is shut down. The balance, certainly in terms of grocery stores and the like, are being bought out in panic-fashion.

We’ve gotten a lot of rain, which is something of a novelty here. It’s my understanding that flu viruses of every strain do poorly when the weather warms. I’ve evidently not cared enough before to pay attention, but now ... ?

If you don’t mind, where are you, btw?

I’m in NH.

Rain will take out the aerosolized virus (debate is still ongoing as to the level of threat from this) along with all the other trash in the air, and wash the streets, so a good thing.

Warm weather doesn’t guarantee the end of this. We can hope, but it is doing pretty well in some warm-hot regions. Singapore (equatorial) was looking like they had it contained, but it is spreading there again. I credit their containment efforts more than the weather.

If you don’t have to go out, don’t.
