Just checked their deaths for today (523) and that's equivalent to about 2.6k deaths here with cases still rising (deaths roughly reflect where cases were 2 to 4 weeks ago). Their rolling average of daily cases has more than doubled in the last two weeks and almost quadrupled in the last month. Hating to be pessimistic, but even with a lockdown, that's going to be rough.
Nail on the head.
if you want to prove ineffective masks are, just look at contact tracing. Both my wife and I wear masks religiously, my wife is a teacher and when she was caught up in contact tracing they did not care that she wore a mask at all times at school, they didn't care That she tested negative, once she was caught in contact tracing she was treated as infected and nothing we could do could prove otherwise. At this point we have pandemic fatigue.
I know this is a minority opinion, but I think we are going to have to learn to live with risk again, because as many have said, this may never go away.
Just my very humble opinion is that we need to get back to living

Interested to learn where you live and if you know what the infected person said about their contact with your wife. I know for certain that's not how contact tracing goes here (Nebraska) unless the infected person says you were within six feet with either party not wearing a mask. Since most masks aren't super protective and there's a lag in when you test positive, you can be doing everything right and still be asked to quarantine because someone else didn't.
We don't have czar's in medicine so I know whover reported this is trying to make a point by quoting a "czars" opinion. Here in Oklahoma using the Oklahoma State Health department's numbers I find that the percentage
testing positive for Covid 19 is low and drifting even lower. Death rates are low in relatonship to other common causes of death...approximately 4.5% of all deaths. Increased hospitalizations are related to not only to Covid-19 infection alone but to a certain amount of fear and to its well known comorbidities. We know too that reports show that people are so fearful of Covid-19 that they ignore serious symptoms of other disease and do
not seek needed healthcare. Death from other non-virus related are likely to increase.

ME getting hit hard. I saw yesterday the doctors in Syria have come together and are reaching out for Global Aid saying that years of Civil War in the country has left their supplies and infrastructure destroyed and they are on the verge of a COVID Emergency

I’ve traveled literally the Far East/west and north/south boundaries of the country since this has started I’ve been in hot metro areas and counties with zero cases. People are wearing masks.....is it 100% no.....but it is way way closer to 100 than 50 especially where anyone lives. Mask compliance isn’t the problem.
