6/8/20 Coming To Terms With Corona?

    I hate that there is no solution and nothing really different than four months ago in regards to the Corona virus.  There was a lot of hope behind a couple of medications but nothing solid came out of it and the one Trump was backing seemed to kill people more than it helped in some of the studies, hydroxychloroquine.  Remdesivir did seem to help in some of the early tests, it was designed to help with ebola, but indications are that it has to be administered early in the infection period to see its benefits.
    That being said, what is the man on the street (really the man that has done well in quarantine) supposed to do?  I am comfortable at home, we aren't out spending money on stupid stuff all the time and we have managed to catch up with a lot of our debts because we just aren't spending.  As we speak, most of the bans have been lifted and as I heard, even the waterparks are now open as of this weekend.  The beaches, of which I do miss, are also open now, and most shops and restaurants are open too.
    Is the plan to really just carry on and act as if nothing is looming over us?  While we (the US) struggle with a very real death count over 100k, Brazil has gone out of their minds and their death toll is past the 400k mark.  In parts of the world, the virus is still very much alive and the most important news to report on.  Here, it seems like we prefer hearing about unrest on the streets, fighting between officers, and just mayhem in general.  I love the stupidity behind the reporters now trying to mention the virus increasing in places "is it because of people out protesting?"  "Is it because of people gathering in masses of thousands to scream at authority figures?"  That communications degree is really helping you there, Scooby, you solved the mystery.
    I love watching Javalina get excited and pumped up for football, he is starting to get serious here at home lifting weights again.  Wife tells me her coaches over there are talking and planning like there will be a football season, but again, people are just sweeping the whole corona mess under the rug?  The only saving grace, I guess, is that here in Texas, the death toll is around 2.4%, of the 3500 people identified as infected here in Austin, only 95 had died, as of last time I looked.  The numbers are better than worldwide where up to 6% of people infected have passed away.
    I guess life isn't so bad with a facemask on if that is how it has to be for now.  I just don't want to find out after the fact that the facemask was just to make us feel better, it really didn't do much.  I talked to Girlie who seems to be all over the place and she tells me "we can't stop living, life must go on.  Just put your facemask on and be real good about cleaning your cars doors, steering wheel and other parts you touch.  You'll be fine."  I love the advice, but I still worry, nobody knows who will fall in that deadly 2.4% group, we see even overweight 75 year olds survive sometimes, so it seems like a mystery as to who the virus really wants to kill.
