We’re all potential victims and all potential killers, writes mitchalbom.

Meanwhile, the mayor of Montgomery, Alabama, said his city was nearly out of ICU beds, even as his state opened movie theaters. In Mississippi, a church that had defied stay-at-home orders was burned to the ground. In Brazil, they are digging mass graves.

Or do we remain cautious, limit our exposure, while we wait for medications and vaccines, and save more souls? A troubling report from Columbia University last week suggested that if America had started social distancing just two weeks earlier, we could have avoided nearly 1 million COVID-19 cases and saved 54,000 lives.

And since 100,000 deaths represents only three ten-thousandths of the country, the odds are overwhelming that most people won’t have experienced a COVID-19 loss of their own.

ellabetty7 MitchAlbom If your demand to have people stay at home resulted in one person committing suicide, would you change your opinion? How about your neighbor? It's easy to play the 'give people a guilt trip' game.

MitchAlbom Not even 2 million deaths is worth a USA economic depression... Nothing.

MitchAlbom Mitch Albom sounds like a complete idiot!!!! Easy for him to say as he sits in his chair while getting paid!! How about telling that to those who need jobs to survive!! We’re not all on welfare MITCH! I’ll wear my mask and do my best to stay healthy- but I have to work!!

Optimism Over Reopening Pushes Global Stocks HigherS&P 500 futures advanced as markets cheered signs of economies reopening and the potential development of a coronavirus vaccine. I'd like to say 'Let's not be so pessimistic'. Corona is just one of viruses in this world. Other than that, there were/are lots of viruses in this world. If you have to pay special attention to all of the viruses, you cannot do anything. At first, they accused us of Chinese people wearing masks, saying that it was a violation of human rights. Now, if you look at these news pictures, they all wear masks. Watch out for dashed hopes when a SecondWave of the coronavirus hits. Covid_19 COVID19 COVIDー19 CoronavirusPandemic Coronavirus
