Same as it has always been, Dirk. Those that are high risk have to hunker down and take precautions, etc. Those that are not have to forge ahead with life. Perhaps JoCo is an anomaly but throughout this entire ordeal it has consistently been the people 70+ that are in the very high risk category. By in large and I mean by in large those under 60 have been able to cope with this as they would any other illness.
That I am sure is different in places but I doubt JoCo has a special bubble around it. A 20 year old can get the flu and die from the effects or other illneses it may cause but the probability is very, very low. Same as with Covid.
We have seen here and across a lot of the country that while the 70+ crowd is the lowest percentage of overall cases they are the highest death percentages.
We cannot continue to think that the virus effects someone at 30 the same as it does at 70. That's not to be insensitive it's just the facts.
There is no easy answer but that is the situation. We cannot keep shutting things down for the sake of shutting things down. Again, it's possibility vs. probability just like everything else in life.
