here is an interesting story

it is reasonble to presume that Brooke has the same strain as Fredo since they work in the same office.

Her symptoms are completely different..although she doesnt have the lung issues either

I still believe we will recover. We may not be back to what we were before, but I believe when things open back up and implement their new “reality”, the economy will recover.

Some things HAVE to happen. Healthcare needs better PPE. We need lots and LOTS of testing. We need plans to quarantine endemic areas, not whole states. We need antibody testing.

This virus is going to be with us for a long time, IMO. The more companies that can implement safety measures, the better. Masks and gloves for employees, plexiglass barriers, social distancing for customers, UV air filtration. I also don’t know why most retail and restaurants can’t go curbside.

The industry that will be hurt the most is travel and tourism, I don’t see it coming back for years. However, I do believe the small farmer, home deliveries and mom and pop shops will make a comeback.

I may be too optimistic for my own good. I’ve just been brought up to believe that Americans are inventive and innovative and will rise to the occasion.

But from a faith standpoint, I also know that all things will come to an end someday, so I’m keeping my eyes to the skies.
