    “Morning All. I know Im late on this topic.
    I agree on the dangers of dengue etc however covid is a different animal because of the incubation time and the way its changing. Dengue and the other dangerous diseases you mentioned have been dealt with for a long time already.
    Covid has potential to completely blindside a population because of its incubation and how it shows. I don't think we saw all all those people die in bigger countries when the virus first hit because it was so so so dangerous but because they got blindsided. It was impossible to treat everyone at the same time.
    I think we feel safer here because we never got blindsided. We were able to treat the infected numbers here which were low. If we are more complacent and allow our health system to get overwhelmed we would be in a lot more trouble.

    I actually believe that we can open up our borders and conduct business but everyone of us would have to be on the same page and understand the animal we're dealing with.
    As long as we all and I mean ALL understand how to move we good.
    As long as we have people moving contrary ... Problems“

    The coronavirus is a hoax. All this social distancing is a joke. Congratulations to the winners. Life is for living.
