At least there have been no more deaths and the facilities are not overwhelmed

Why the Second Wave of the 1918 Spanish Flu Was So Deadly
The first strain of the Spanish flu wasn’t particularly deadly. Then it came back in the fall with a vengeance.
The horrific scale of the 1918 influenza pandemic—known as the "Spanish flu"—is hard to fathom. The virus infected 500 million people worldwide and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million victims—that’s more than all of the soldiers and civilians killed during World War I combined.
The second wave of the 1918 pandemic was much more deadly than the first. The first wave had resembled typical flu epidemics; those most at risk were the sick and elderly, while younger, healthier people recovered easily. October 1918 was the month with the highest fatality rate of the whole pandemic.
While the global pandemic lasted for two years, a significant number of deaths were packed into three especially cruel months in the fall of 1918. Historians now believe that the fatal severity of the Spanish flu’s “second wave” was caused by a mutated virus spread by wartime troop movements.

This is exactly what is meant by "stay home" -- limiting your physical interaction to the smallest number of people possible to slow the spread of infection.Phone Surgeon wrote:pete wrote:People still going to bars and socialising in a pandemic? Keep it up I guess.

Good advice but only IF it can be followed practically. My mother in law is over 70 and we physically have to go from time to time to drop groceries, and other supplies, collect and fill prescriptions etc. All with minimal contact, but still.
