Seriously, this is another reason most people need to relax about their risk and accept that the opportunity for containment is long gone. On the other hand, we absolutely need to figure out why vulnerable populations are getting infected during a lockdown and how to actually protect/treat them. Just don't ask Gov. Cuomo for ideas.

I’ve been flying a full schedule, my wife is a DVM and has been working full time dealing with the public as well. Both of us tested negative for antibodies.

It would seem an absolute no-brainer to test long-care home employees every second or third day before they enter a facility. Sure the brain tickle would get old, but being able to capture a potentially virus-shedding employee before they seed an outbreak in the most vulnerable demographic seems a very smartly targeted policy for the expense.

Your sis might be one of those. Or she should head over the Atlantic City when it re-opens.

Every little bit helps, and the obviously vulnerable people should be protected to the extent practicable.
