Have most here seeing the second wave lock downs in Europe and think it could come here soon? Just in time for the month of November.

British officials said Monday that COVID-19
infection rates were heading "in the wrong direction." The warning came
as governments across Europe re-impose tougher measures to try to stem new outbreaks of the coronavirus.
The U.K. government's chief medical officer Chris Whitty said Monday that the infection rates across Britain had, "in a bad sense, literally turned a corner."
Chief scientific adviser Patrick Vallance
warned, meanwhile, that if nothing is done to curb the spread of the
virus, new infections could rise to nearly 50,000 daily by mid-October —
up from nearly 4,400 new COVID-19 cases on Monday.

Probably going to have to have a second lockdown? Personally I've had it with the dam lockdowns. But I don't know what else they can do? Really piss's me off. Want to go places, and do things. But got to stay away from crowds, and people in general to keep from getting it.
Navajo county, where I usually summer is a case in point. They are up to 5,700 positive, and 235 dead from Corona. And it's a remote rural county, that's mostly Indian reservations and national forest. Can't imagine what will happen? If they get hit with a second wave?
One question I pose to the people who think the lockdown is necessary. Would there be a lockdown anytime during WW2 while the troops are dying by the thousands and needing equipment, supplies just everything?
NO, you can't build that plane cause in the vast majority of cases you get cold symptom's?
Our country is in dire need to get back up and get to work, imo only, I am not a lawyer, "Dr. Fauchi"or a clinical rule setter.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Your abyssal ignorance knows no bounds with regard to the Indian Nations located in Arizona. I suggest you broaden your reading by finding the real explanation about the Covid-19 effect on the reservations. The largest areas affected by Covid-19 are located in the most barren regions of the State of Arizona where water is patently absent to the point where it has to be trucked in thereby limiting the use. There are no casinos because no one will travel there to use them. It's open, arid desert!

Don't make any more uninformed statements like yours above.
Or, just let us live our lives and get the virus if it is to happen. The youth of America are stepping up, as are many others. It is and individualist freedom of choice thing, and it is good.

This virus is picking off the low hanging fruit, but as callous as that sounds, it is obvious in the infection vs. death curves.
The infection rate is increasing, but is not being followed by a proportional increase in the number of deaths. To suggest otherwise is simply ignoring the data. One can pick their chosen explanation, but it is a fact.
I take precautions due to my personal issues and the people with whom I interact.
Imposing those precautions/restrictions upon those with little to no chance of significant problems is selfish and unAmerican.
If herd immunity did not work for smallpox (as an example) infected blankets given to Native Americans would not have made any difference. It works, and you, with a medical background should know better than most that it has worked over centuries, does work today, and will work in the future. You should also understand that vaccinations are nothing more than engineered herd immunity as evidenced by the demand for up-to-date vaccinations for entry into public schools.
20% will make a difference. 30% will make a greater difference. Arbitrarily picking 60%, with a false linear death prediction is, frankly, meaningless.

So what is herd immunity? Herd immunity is when you have had the virus and got over it, survived! Once you have had the virus you have immunity to it, your body holds and retains the antibodies to fight it in the future if you become exposed to it again. Can a virus mutate? Yes, but not always, this virus has not showed signs of mutating. There are some virus’s that are not able to have a anti vaccine produced, AIDS, Malaria, West Niles the common cold are a couple. Now they say 80% of people don’t even show any signs or symptoms, 15% have only mild symptoms and the remaining 5% show severe symptoms that have under laying conditions, however those 70 and over, the survival rate is still 95%. So as I see it the numbers do not add up and a lot of the deaths have been manufactured. We are talking BILLIONS of dollars if someone can say that they have an anti vaccine for this virus. So yes you have to scare the ship out people to make them believe that if they don’t get the shot to protect them selfs they will die. So it only makes sense to make people believe there is a resurgence of this virus to scare them. Funny, a lot people will make every effort possible to get this anti vaccine shot when it comes out, but will not get a flu shot account of they say it gives them the flu.
