I am not even going to pretend to have “ the answers here.
Being in Florida as the number of cases rises exponentially absolutely scares me and absolutely concerns me.
Every where I go- people are in masks- but the spread has largely avoided where I am. How long can that hold true?
I am flying out of Palm Beach to Detroit Friday to go back to Michigan for an out door wedding/ and to see my two daughters who I have not seen since Feb.
All along my instincts have said that the initial goal of not overwhelming the hospitals was the right thing- and finding the balance between the economic catastrophe and the medical catastrophe was the difficult but correct high wire act. Many said it is just a matter of time before a high % of us will get it- and the best thing we could do was protect those most susceptible.
So, as we sit here today the fact that so many new cases are younger people who seem to be handling it better, and with few exceptions the medical system is not overwhelmed - that part gives me hope bordering on optimism. And while many businesses around me have closed forever ( my cleaners and hair cutting place for example) most others are hanging in there and some are even doing well.
Other than being as vigilant as I can, I don’t know what if anything I would change.
