Here in Utah, we are seeing the effect of NOT social distancing. College is back in session, and Covid has exploded in Provo, home to two large institutions. Daily new cases are now running 60 per 100K there, as opposed to 30 in SLC and 15 here north of SLC.
Of course, Covid death rates are much lower than they were earlier, and it might be OK to just let it burn through the student population. I don't know.
If this is what will happen all over, then we are about to see a major second wave, and also appreciate the effects of the painful shutdown.
Personally, I am so "dang" tired of this that I would almost rather catch it and be immune so I can resume normal activity. Almost.
Be not weary in well doing.

I hear that a cytokine storm is a bigger rush than DMT. More seriously, I get the feeling few here give a rat’s tail. Time will tell on all this.

The testing is less than 50% accurate in identifying active cases............................

MM And all positive tests are being labelled cases, when they aren't cases at all. And people can have multiple tests that just drive up the test results without meaning anything except an increasing number.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

This reads as Concern Trolling, but in case you are actually in fear, don't worry... Unless you have 2+ underlying health conditions and are 75+ years of age, you have nothing to worry about.

We had over 700 cases in the first two weeks in a college here in upstate NY. They closed it down, sent all the students home and are going completely virtual for at least the first semester. Last I read, some of the infected students were seriously sick. The bigger concern is how many older locals did the students infect while galivanting around town. Time will tell.

They sent them home anyway and the biggest share don't actually live near here. No, they import most of the worthless little commie bastards up here from NYC, about 200 miles South. I wouldn't go to that shyt hole again for anything if you held a gun to my head and a red hot poker to my ass hole.

Is it true that it only takes one of 19 possible symptoms to be ruled covid?

Talk about scope creep! Remember this whole “flatten the curve” thing was about not overloading the IC rooms at the hospitals. Now it’s the benchmark of fear mongers. The only thing that matters is the death rate and secondary to that, the IC load at the hospitals.
BTW - the age group in Provo has about as much chance of dying from covid as you do at winning the lottery.

What's the hospitalization rate? How about the death rate? How about the death rate of anyone under 90?
Is the flu still a thing?

The USA with shutdowns has a higher death rate at over 600 per million than Sweden that didn't, and Japan who did not shut down either has a rate of 12 per million
