I try to find some positives. For sanity purposes. 

Hard as it is, we may need to simply ride this out.  (While still not going to the level of mass gatherings) 

I do not think it’s possible to close things back down completely again.  Economically, politically or socially.  It could  lead to the economy completely collapsing. Which has enormous impacts oh health etc world wide. As does the mental health aspect (and other secondary Heath issues - such as delayed diagnosis) 

Maybe the uptick now also reduces the second wave possibility in the winter.  When we are also in flu season.

I agree with this one 100%. It's a good summary. Nice reflection piece. Yes, this is where we are now.

To me it's a great companion piece to OF's summary, (https://thecardboard.org/board/showthrea...pid=284068) posted in "Won't this be great" just a few minutes earlier. Two reflections on the same reality. He does cause, you do effect. You do a great job of laying out the reality without assigning blame. Masterful restraint, and 100% not political.

I'd like to edit yours and OF's together, cause and effect. A complete reflection between the two of them.

I don't know about your reaction to the OF post ...

Purely political post. I am not asking it be taken down. I’m against that. Just pointing out the obvious.

... I agree with him 100% too. It's an interesting take on political vs. non-political in this forum.
