I take this just as seriously as I do the seasonal flu. Common sense prevention tips. Isolate the vulnerable. Treat the sick. Mourn the dead. And live your life.
The idea the american public will sit still for a second lockdown went out the window the minute the riots started in Minneapolis. On a macro level, the numbers are actually falling, herd immunity is growing, and this huge, second wave you speak of is nary a ripple.

Hopefully it’s just a ripple but the government won’t think twice about imposing stay at home orders again. It’s pretty simple, if the hospitalization goes up they’ll shut it down. Also as far as herd immunity, it’s not that simple...... that’s going to take years not weeks. In order for that to have happened in the time you’re talking about, lots and lots will have to die.... Other countries have essentially stopped the virus, down to zero almost, we haven’t.
