I'll give my .02 on this. Those that are elderly, have pre-existing health issues and are high risk should stay quarantined. Those that are healthy and young should go to life as normal with the exception of having no contact with the elderly and those in high risk category. The fear with this "everything locked down" philosophy is that when it is eventually "over" and everyone emerges from under their rocks, there is a LARGE likely-hood that another flood of infection will begin. There's a theory called "herd immunity" and I buy into it. For those that are healthy, COVID is a nasty flu. Gonna put you on your butt for a week and you'll recover. With herd immunity, you pass the weaker strength strain on to the next healthy person who in turn passes it on and so on and so on weakening the virus as it spreads until it eventually dies out. This wont happen if everyone just hides from it....Oh, and we're absolutely destroying our economy.
So, yeah, go back to business as usual while being smart. Continue to wash your hands, not touch your face, practice a higher rate of sanitizing, stay away form elderly and ill. I think the cease of life as we know it is way over-kill and is killing our country.

Our daughter is a nurse as well and has had a few direct patients with the virus ranging from ok to severe. She said now that she's directly dealt with it (patients), she feels less anxious about it after seeing the recovery. She has to self quarantine now for a couple weeks to confirm she is not infected, so far so good. I also work closely with our Emergency Operations Police and Fire. Both my daughter and emergency operations people explain this hydroxychloroquine coupled with a Z pack is the closest thing to a miracle they've seen. No BS, it works and is readily available (for now). I've been told numerous times from people in the know directly dealing with this, if you contract COVID, take those drugs asap. Rest up and get well.

So, been a pretty quiet week here at LOTO, boating wise. Lots of high wind, but pretty mild weather otherwise. New cases of Covid-19 virus are starting to ramp up some. Went from 12 early this week to 19 as of late last night. Lake Reginal has posted some updated news on testing and stat's of cases. Info can be found on Lake News.com and Lake Regional website. Everyone be safe and take the necessary precautions.

I'm feeling pretty good for being positive with covid. Washed and waxed the boat today and fired it up on the hose. Rode my bicycle too. Girlfriend better but still much sicker then I am. Gas is down to .99 now but there is some question if they are going to allow people to tow their boats as the state is on lockdown!
