Sixty Two and still working everyday I wonder just how susceptible I am to getting the virus. I work from home a lot but find myself going into work two, three and sometimes four times a week. I have stopped for gas, to pick up lunch for the family and at times a trip to Wal-Mart. There are not that many cases in our county. But there are some. I am for the most part pretty healthy and my wife and I walk often.
I am more worried about the economy than picking up the virus. I feel that at some point we are all going to get it anyway. Yeah there are a lot of boomers out there that would be hit pretty hard but there are also a lot of others that have problems that would make it hard on them. The problem is though that its already out there and there is no putting the genie back in that bottle.
Our only hope to keep the death rate down is how soon can they come up with a cure? A vaccine would help but as with the flu, its a toss up as to whether it will be effective or not. Some are saying that if you have had it you would be immune to getting it again. Then there are those that have come down with it a second time. There is so much about it that we are still finding out.
The one thing we do know is that we can’t keep paying people to stay home.
