It’s sad to see in a country with the highest death in the world with nearly a quarter of a million deaths some people still have their head in the sand. @Renée40
Your death and infection rate is going up NOT down in the US and in Southern Utah
If you don’t believe a health professional from the UK - perhaps you will listen to your infectious health lead who left the platform in floods of tears when announcing your increasing infection and death rates and the impact it was having on your health and care givers.
The people you know who have recovered at home without the need for medical intervention have been fortunate. Millions have not been so fortunate .
As someone who works in the UK health service the reality is very different. Health and care workers continue to die as do the public in increasing numbers.
A virus mutating doesn’t make it weaker. It just means there are more variations you can catch.
It is the old, the sick of all ages, those with long term conditions and those with disabilities who are most vulnerable. It is the unthinking and uncaring fittest amongst us who are passing it on by not abiding by simple measures such as wearing a mask, washing your hands and social distancing.
It matters not that you see yourselves as living in an area with relatively low infection rates.
As hosts we encourage travellers into our community who can bring the disease with them.
I am asthmatic so don’t have to wear a mask but still do for short periods when in public until it interferes with my breathing.
if that was not the cases I would be happy to use it in a home share situation
