It’s the funniest thing , there’s a fairly sizable amount of homeless in the South Bay , you see them camped along 87 /85 with mountains of trash , used needles lying around , generally unsanitary conditions but yet I see the same groups day after day, either at the Chevron gas station , in front of Luckys , pretty much all around the 4 corners of Blossom Hill/ Santa Teresa , they seldom where masks , definitely don’t practice social distancing , eat off one another’s food /drinks , and yet ............ not a single one has come down with the virus ! Have they got herd immunity? Is their lifestyle the miracle vaccine ? Is not using hand sanitizers the trick , or for that matter taking a shower . Just about all the businesses in this area are holding on by the skin of their teeth and I’m afraid many won’t survive .I have no clue how many in this area are not making mortgage /rental payments but I’ll tell you one thing , there’s a ton of cars on the blocks that normally you wouldn’t see on a weekday , as a matter of fact I’ve met a ton of neighbors that I never knew I had before . When this virus thing is over ......someday so they say - it won’t even compare with the Tsunami of problems that will happen as a result of our geniuses in Sacramento that are making things worse -Their worst than the virus !

Almost everybody who died was over 75 and in a nursing home. It's rarely fatal or even seriously annoying to people that aren't elderly with multiple chronic conditions.

Sacramento doesn't care. The 'Curley Effect', the people's suffering and business failures don't matter as long as the Dems and Public Service Unions can hold on to power.

As a matter of fact, the more suffering the better, to make sure that we turn to a full punitive model of government control and oversight.

What is most important is holding the people of the state and the economy hostage to the wishes and prosperity of the few politicians and their ignorant and grasping apparatchiks.

I still don't know a single person who got ill from Wuhan Virus, much less seriously ill.

I'm surprised. My wife and I know a lot of people though (not saying you don't). Only one guy got it that had a rough go of it, no hospital visit or stay though. Everyone else was asymptomatic or very minor things like fatigue, loss of smell, headache, etc. Dozen or so now. The deaths we know of were friends of friends/co-workers. So that doesn't really count. All were in shit health anyway and died WITH Covid not OF Covid.

My SIL and BIL got it over in Austria a month or so ago. Loss of smell and headache was it for both of them. I lose my sense of smell and taste when I get a cold or regular flu anyway, so it's not exclusive to Covid-19. I don't get it, but whatever. I have no problem staying home, but it does put a strain on the family for sure. We all love each other, but we're not built to be around each other this much. Minor things turn into problems that never would have existed if kids were at school and we're at work.

Ultimately this shit has to end. Although I do have to say it's allowing us to hopefully get out of IL for a couple weeks up to a month in January to a warm spot. Becoming snow birds in my 30's, lol.
