Here in Northern Idaho only about 5 - 10% wear masks or do any other of those things the politicians-without-medical-degrees say everyone should do "For their own safety." While a case or two shows up from time to time there are few to no deaths from the SARS-2 virus ALONE. Down in the cities all bets are off and many huddle in the shadows just waiting for the end. Funny - they never did that for the 'usual deaths' complicated by the 'regular flu virus' every year. I guess we think a little differently out here in the smaller towns.
Of course, people die everywhere, every day, from a wide variety of conditions, but only a minute number actually die of the virus alone now. That's die FROM the virus and not died from something WITH old virus cell pieces in their blood. That PCR test sure was poorly used on this Pan-Panic-a-demic.
Maybe now that "things" are perceived to be better we can get back to finding Gold again - only panning for the next 4 years I guess until reason returns.
Take care, guys (and gals).
