Social distancing, wearing masks and other measures are not going to stop Covid. They are, however, in place to slow the spread to prevent the health care system from being overwhelmed.
Some of the lowest death rate numbers I have seen for Covid are around 3%. The death rate for the flu is .01%. When people say this is no worse than the flu, I ask them when was the last flu season where they parked refrigerated trailers outside of hospitals to receive the dead.
Alloy.... I hope you neighbor pulls through this. Statistics mean nothing when someone you know is in the fight of their life. My wife and I had a distant family member pass away from Covid. Yes, they were in a nursing home but most likely would have lived a few more years if it wasn't for COVID.
