If someone here figures out how to do the same thing as my circuit for 10 cents less that\'s great. If someone here explains to me that my thinking about a design has a fundamental misunderstanding, great. But no one can actually give me any believable reason why the US has to suffer so badly with this disease and mismanage the response so poorly. I really, really can\'t understand how anyone of intelligence can be in denial of the simple nature of the disease or how it is spread.
Yet we have several people here who reflect a segment of the population that have totally misjudged the disease and virtually everything connected to it. The same people, even though some of them are in the vulnerable group, suggest we perform our limited isolation of such groups and otherwise let the virus rage.
I was just watching a TV show where the plot includes a government scheme that allows 10,000 people to die and treats it as so horrible thing that it can\'t even be pictured. Yet our government has failed so badly to take effective action against this disease that we are nearing 170,000 dead with literally no end in sight.
I am truly gobsmacked that so many people can be in such a state of denial that they think this is acceptable or even unavoidable.
I don\'t see many in public acting like this is nothing. People wear masks, keep some distance apart (other than in Walmart maybe) and generally seem to be staying at home. I think it is a minority that are willing to go out and risk infection when not essential.
Once the warm weather is over and there is not such an urge to go out people will stay at home. People will not be returning to work in offices any time soon. Children will not be attending classrooms (other than a few idiotic states) this fall. I expect to see the number of infections in the US and western countries in general to see lower infection numbers... until the Christmas shopping starts.
There seems to be a psychological effect that when the infection news is bad people hunker down and when infection news is good people naturally want to relax their guard. So heading into the fall I see numbers dropping and people relaxing enough they start shopping in stores more. This results in more infections and by Christmas we are hunkering down again.
We have very strong urges to live our normal lives. This may be the death of us, or at least quite a few of us.
Until there is a vaccine available I expect to see an average of 4000 deaths a week in the US which is only 200,000 a year. 20 of the TV horrific death count episodes. Heck, we are already well above 50x the 9-11 death toll.. 50x the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. 15x the 1900 Galveston hurricane.. 65x the Pearl Harbor attack. 6x the death toll of Iwo Jima including both sides of the fight.
Until we learn the lessons of microbiology and epidemic spreading the death toll will continue.
