So unless I misread post #168, the implication is that masks reduced the spread of the virus, hence less people with antibodies. ... True when vaccine are not available. By limiting virus transmission emergence of new, (potentially more hazardous), variants is greatly reduced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there would also be a lot more deaths. Natural herd immunity is very risky. It can take out a good part of the population, the vulnerable especially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family is in New York. That is OK by me as air travel has made it easy for visiting. We have also used AutoTrain to travel to NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't leave the house with out a mask. Haven't seen others without a mask either. What does that tell you? It tells me they don't work and all the people who believe they do have been scammed.

People shop and go out in restaurants w/o masks on.....since it is personal choice in Florida I see more madk compliance than that in central Florida. Seriously, almost every store i shop at says madks are required. I constantly get temp checked for doctors offices, spas, gyms, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying you were never in total lockdown? I’d like to know more. Why then I wonder why we have a thread about returning to normalcy?

When the same person tests positive several times while waiting to test negative to go back to work, and each test is added to the count......then I realized that those numbers are skewed and not accurate to tell any kind of trend. I paid attention to when our health care system was overwhelmed in certain parts of the country. I paid attention to when there were refrigerated trucks holding bodies that had no where to go because morgues were full. That is what I paid attention to. Hopefully, with the vaccines, those horrific scenarios will not occur again. I've never had a covid symptom, but have been tested in excess of 30 times, all negative. That also skews the numbers, in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry about their well being. I can't think of one person i ever met that moved from Florida to NY; you have a hard sell! (I think NY state is beautiful, by the way. I grew up in PA, also beautiful.) Higher positivity rate, to me, isn't by itself a huge negative. Hospitalizations and deaths, yes. Many mild cases will help move us toward herd immunity.
