Our vulnerable people must continue to Stay at Home!
Our frontline workers and nursing home workers and patients must be perfectly protected!
We all must continue masks, separation, sanitation and slowing its spread so that we keep the hospitalizations curve flattened and protect our most vulnerable!
Tough guys wear masks! Good gals wear masks! Trump sup-porters wear masks!
Infections have risen inevitably as we’ve reopened. They will subside to a flat, permanent, regrettably high level as we re-understand the importance of and return to masks, separation and hand washing.
We’re learning to live with this virus as we must and as we have learned to live with influenza- it’s not going away!
Our flat level of infections will continue until we reach herd immunity requiring 65% of Americans–250 million of us– becoming immune either by having recovered from it or by the hoped-for vaccine.
The rest of us must get back to work! We’re not dummies; we will protect ourselves by masks, separation and sanitation, thereby preventing any large increase in hospitalizations.
