Remember when he said that we would have no more than 60000 deaths?

Thread been slowing down.
Y’all stay safe and follow the gems dropped in this thread earlier. Don’t let your guard down this thing ain’t going away any time soon.
The new norm will continue for a long time.
Last half of the summer had the news talking about vaccine this, vaccine that but in here we all know that’s a fairy tale.

This thread slowing down is the same as people letting their guard down IRL. I see and hear people acting like the threat is gone and it's time to get back to normal, when in reality we've only gotten back down to June levels of daily infections in the US (California as well). My county is still in the worst (widespread) tier, but yesterday finally hit the levels to be considered for the second worst (substantial) tier and everyone seems to think this means it's time to take off our masks and celebrate, when we still have so far to go. Fall is here, Winter is coming and it will soon be nearly impossible to quickly determine whether those symptoms are "just a cold". Around here elementary schools are being granted waivers to start in person classes again and I predict they will be closed again just as quickly as they reopen. We are lucky that COVID initially hit after winter and I'm afraid that this winter is going to bring a wave that most people haven't even begun to imagine. IMO, it's time to start thinking about buying some better masks and other necessities that were previously hard to find in the next few months as supplies become plentiful.

Yeah, a lot of people I know have dropped their guard with this. One even questioned me why we were still being cautious.
Will continue to do whatever I need to do to keep my wife and kids safe.

People are already discussing how they want to do Halloween. Just like dining in, hanging out, gym, this apparently is a necessity for some people. Would you die or suffer if you miss 1 Halloween this year? As much as I am glad the number is going down in my county, I am afraid that only leads us to another wave. People will definitely lower their guard down for sure. We'll see. Hope I am wrong.

Municipalities are blowing up all over Denmark. We did pretty well shutting down and fairly well re-opening, but habits and practices are falling by the wayside.
I'm scheduled for some new tests next week, I've had some persistent neurological ****, that has been minor enough to ignore, but just wont go away. Feels like my entire nervous system is low-key firing all the time and have a sleeping sensation, slight numbness occupying feet, hands and face with varying severity.
So I have to get to bottom of this: Either I had COVID in January and have some long-term effects or something potentially equally as bad is going on. It's mostly a minor annoyance, but it's an almost constant one.

Stay safe, everyone. And keep focused. The first couple months were easy. It's this long haul for the next 6+ months that will be tougher, especially with the added complexity of schools opening and the holidays coming. People are fatiguing and drifting towards pre-covid norms.
Find ways to balance the risks. Keep yourselves healthy and focus your energy on your own sanity and the happiness of family and close friends.
Personally, I'm going to have to make a trip to the dentist eventually....
Here are today's numbers. Cases have flatlined over the past month. If anything, they may be going up. In most Midwestern states and some in the West and South, numbers are going up. I fully expect a "third wave", if you consider the two peaks in hospitalizations from April and September as the first two waves. I think it'll run a longer time course and extend from October through January, with deaths in the 500-1000 per day range. But maybe the people who are going to be careless have been careless and have already been exposed. So I'm naively hopeful that we may just see a slow decline in hospitalizations and deaths instead.

You guys heard they’re training dogs to be able to detect COVID by scent? I’ve seen reports that they’re pretty accurate too.
'Very promising method': Finland deploys coronavirus-sniffing dogs at main airport
Four coronavirus-sniffing dogs of different breeds trained started working at the Helsinki Airport as part of the government-financed trial.

I hope so too.
Just think how crazy it is that we've normalized 500 deaths per day. That's what we're aspiring for.

As a parent, I was hoping to be able to have my children vaccinated at the same time as me and my wife so we would all have some level of protection and feel comfortable sending them back to school and extracurricular activities ASAP, but that doesn’t appear likely. Totally overlooked this possibility.
When will children get a COVID-19 vaccine? It's going to be a while
Experts disagree on whether it's a problem that children aren't part of COVID-19 vaccine trials. In any case, they will have to wait to be vaccinated.

People will unfortunately drop their guard. Just watch around you come Thanksgiving. You know folks need to get together with family or the the young ones have to post about their Friendsgiving.

N.Y.C. Warns About Rising Virus Cases in Hasidic Neighborhoods (Published 2020)
Officials see a worrisome indicator in several parts of Brooklyn and Queens after a couple of months of declining or flat transmission.
I hope the uptick in New York City has not started but I think it has

Between Labor Day weekend, gyms/schools opening back up, and people just having a generally more lax stance about adherence to guidelines we’ve got plenty of potential for round 2 to be right around the corner in NY.

I was just going through some receipts and noticed I started my "pandemic panic buying" to start stocking up for potential shortages on February 22nd. Can't believe 7 months have passed. I'm happy to say we did go through everything except the canned vegetables that were basically bought in case of apocalypse and fresh produce harvest got shut down, which thankfully it never did. I'll probably donate those.
