I think in March folks generally were more receptive to a "shut down" to broaden the curve.  It could have been better explained, but most accepted it, as a SHORT TERM measure.  The idea we could keep major parts of the economy shut down for months and months isn't realistic in my view.  Folks start to rebel because they get bored.

And of course millions are out of their job.  Ironically, folks like me who would be spending money would have no place to spend it (Amazon aside).  So we pile up money we can't use and folks out of a job are in a major hurt.

My step daughter living in Marseille went to be tested and was shocked when told she was a positive for COVID.  So, she got retested at another site and was negative.  She went back to the first site and was negative there.  They said they thought they had a bad batch of PCR ingredients.

Great.  She went with two others and they were all pos, then neg, then neg.

so, perhaps Badger is correct.  We've all had it twice

This UK variant is much more contagious, and it's now prevalent in Florida. I imagine mostly on the Atlantic side, since that's where Europe goes in the Winter.

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Wife got her shot. Still alive. Bit of a sore arm but no other side effects beyond her own anxiety.

Predictably bored w my self quarantine.   I decided to drive Terre Haute, had never been.  Took rural roads, saw some interesting sights, covered bridges, a really old cool looking diner, which ill have to try another day, and then saw two sheriff deputies chasing and apprehending a guy trying to elude them on foot in the edge of a soybean field.  Don't see that everyday. Who knew Brazil IN was such a happening small town. Meanwhile,  Indiana has some really cool county courthouses.  

Terre Haute was larger than I expected.   Just overhauled the Sycamores arena (Hulman).  Saw the Larry Bird statue and ISU campus which is downtown.   Separately, Rose-Hulman is a pretty campus on the NE edge of town.    Checked out the Clabber Girl Factory,  which I have some reclaimed wood in my house from this factory.    All without getting anywhere near anybody.  Felt good driving 200miles

We enjoy "driving around" and visiting smaller towns.  It takes us a while to get out of Atlanta metro of course.  It's an hour in any direction to be in the Sticks.  There are myriad smaller towns, county seats etc. I've never seen, might have taken a bypass around them of course.

It can be fun to get a B&B somewhere small townish and just walk around, but that is probably going to be post-vaccination.
