(83,935 posts)Fact is if you go out to the beach with a thousand other people you may well be infected. Go party at a bar, no protection, yep most likely you will be infected and bring it home to you and yours. Then it passes on to others and so on and so on. It is called the spread and that is why cases are escalating.
I never leave the house without mask, gloves and sanitizer. I do my best to protect me and mine and others that I come in contact with.
The ICU director that said this, it is a dire warning that they are understaffed and at full capacity. If you for a moment think this admin is prepared for a second onslaught, then you are kidding yourself. They weren't prepared for the first, I know this as my relative works in ICU...no PPE only raincoats and one mask a day for an 18 hour shift.
Snark is not necessary, care for those you come in contact with are dire. Protection goes both ways.
