This is an interesting article that confirms the need for and emphasis on science when addressing medical challenges, especially at the pandemic level.
You may not have heard of some of these historic epidemic events but you can understand why listening to and following the advice offered by Dr. Fauchi and other medical science experts will give you a much better chance of surviving a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic.

And So It Continues
I just saw where there's a possible third new coronavirus coming on fast in China. I'm not surprised, but I'm not fully convinced that it's the truth either. With all that's going on in China, I'm not sure they can handle another crisis.
But neither can the United States where COVID-19 is still uncontrolled in most states.
And this was also announced today: "The US on Thursday surpassed 4 million officially recorded Covid-19 cases -- and a quarter of that count came in just the last 15 days."
At that rate, there will be another million recorded cases two weeks from now. Or more...
We are just two individuals among the millions of Americans who are trying our best to stay as far away from people, places, and things that might expose us to the virus. Or, that we unknowingly expose to others.
My doctor visit today was just routine check-up but I very much appreciated the fact that every staff member was wearing their masks and repeatedly washing/cleaning their hands or equipment. Yet they found a way to be professional and attentive to me, the patient.
Even the waiting patients were wearing their masks and maintaining their distance. There was no complaining at all. That's an indication that we've accepted the fact that we all have to do what's right if we plan to survive this pandemic.

So Far, So Good...
Yes.... So far, so good...
We are still among the untested for COVID-19, and we are not experiencing any of the more popular symptoms that would give us reason to worry or visit our doctor. We will assume we are not victims of it - yet.
We try to keep abreast of the latest news, alerts, and protective steps regarding COVID-19 while being wary of the source or intent or even the truthfulness of the information. Even the latest news and advice is questionable these days. It's the least we can do while the virus is still out of control.
Also, given there are confusing data coming from you know where, and no real plan to even slow down the daily records of new cases, our plan of keeping ourselves as far away as possible from people, places and things that could be a threat to us seems to be working.
We realize that our ages and health place us squarely in the high-risk category for not only getting the virus but also dying from it.
Meanwhile, we read where many other countries are also suffering from major problems with the virus. But at the same time, some countries, including a few third-world countries, have at least slowed it down to a more manageable level. That's wonderful for them but disheartening for us to hear when we in the United States of America are being told by our leaders that it's under control and that we are 'light years' ahead of everyone else with our medical capability and response
And therein lies the reason we stay away from any and all threats.
I just wanted to go on record as to why you don't see us in public as often as we use to be.
