[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1663012, member: 498"] I don't know where you are but where I am there is very little covid. Mainly because people are naturally socially distanced. This county is bigger than the state of Delaware but the population is only about 16,000. I believe another factor is the population tends to be out door people. Even those who live in the one town in the county. Not sitting in confined spaces. In the last 10 days other than the time at church I have had in person conversation with a total of 2 of my neighbors. Many people at church would answer the same if you asked them. At our church service there are no pews. There are chairs to sit on. When the virus hit they started setting up the chairs farther apart. People here have enough sense to stay home if they are sick. Both the wife and I have skipped service when we had brief illness. Neither of us had anything serious. But no matter how mild if you aren't right you stay home. I have yet to hear anyone cough at our church. As for masks. There are a few people who wear them but I am sure it is less than 2%. They use to list the number of people tested and the number testing positive. They quit listing the number tested. The percent positive of the total tested was running under 5%. I would say as a general statement most of those getting tested felt ill in some way. When compared to the total population only about 3% tested positive. There have been 5 deaths listed from covid. I have no information on #5. The other 4 were 83, 84, 91, and 94 years old. All with underlying health conditions. The 83 year old is the one I know the most about. He was a neighbor of some friends. He was in the hospital with bronchial pneumonia and had been for a couple months. Most of the people in this part of the world are not really concerned with covid. They do take some precautions. But they are going ahead with life and not living in fear. [/QUOTE]
