thanks for the words Bay..appreciate it... I agree with different version part.. I really believe whats in south now in NOT the NY version or its way way weaker.... that I agree with.. and yes of course your right it effects people different based on ages and health...

I would only add about the Houston comment... their ICU is 97% as reported... now this is a fact.... also a fact that 365 days ago the rate was right at 93%... and that currently in Houston of the 97% only 12% is covid... so it is no way true at all that Houston hospitals are full with covid.. Thats media spin...

Per Shivers article, normal now and sounds like they are ahead of the curve to treat people. Also, the data is showing that most of the cases are younger people, and medical professionals are leaso that should translate into a declining cases vs. deaths. - all good. But hospitalizations and deaths also lag new cases, so time will tell what actually happens. I am hoping for the best so we can get this country fully open. To me, maybe it is too simple follow the guidelines of wearing a mask, social distance and wash your hands. More vulnerable people need to take lots of caution and stay out of public as much as possible until there is a vaccine. I personally follow these and I don't have any fear of catching it. Again, I would love to hear an update from you in the future on how quickly you manage to get over it as a former runner, I know how important that daily running fix can be,so wish you the best in your recovery.
