So.... If the same number of people are expected to get the virus...

... with or without strong mitigation measures (but fewer die, because the health care system is not overwhelmed), what do we vulnerable people do? Stay home for six months? Avoid our grandchildren for six months?

Any ideas?

... Google Hangout. First time for us, but our son couldn't get the computer audio to work.

We went to church via Zoom on Sunday (same program that Biden was using at his botched virtual Town Hall... but I'm not sure it was Zoom's fault.) That was neat, because the big picture in the middle seemed to switch to whoever (whomever?) was talking. I never know whether it should be who or whom in a situation where you have a prepositional phrase with the object being a subject and predicate...)

Other thoughts on Google Hangout vs Skype vs Zoom?

Or on whoever vs whomever?

But that's just audio as far as I know. Zoom is, from what I understand, much more interactive.

either an effective treatment emerges and is available or a vaccine is approved and distributed.

My money is on a treatment emerging first. There are several promising drugs in trials now.

Stay healthy. Stay hopeful.
