It seems like this virus is highly contagious. Lots of people dying from it, while many others have severe health consequences short of death. I’m going to continue trying to avoid it until I get vaccinated against it.
In part, but not totally, because the true death rate is one per person. The number one cause of death is birth, and this has already happened to you; you're doomed. You may survive 2021, but you will not likely survive the 21st century.
So, like the man said, "get busy living, or get busy dying."
Union Gap is Yakima. Lots of Hispanics. The Hispanic community is way more social than others. Especially with 3 families in a home/apartment. Plus the men are “macho” and pay no concern to masks or hygiene.
Between the Hispanics working at Costco, and the Hispanic families that have three generations along to wander the aisles, there is a lot of close contact. (In the Seattle area it is the three generations of Asians and Indians that wander the aisles).
And with the Hispanics - lots of “loud talkers”. I read one article that the “loud talkers” are more apt to spread it. (Makes sense).
