Fact: The death rate is decreasing and that is all that matters.

Not if people don’t care about the virus anymore. The headlines of huge case increases scared off people for a little. As more and more of them know people that have had it and how they were affected the less scared they will be.

I know more than several now and one that was hospitalized and I can tell you I’m ready to live my life as close to normal as possible. I wash, I sanitize (especially my work space), and I wear my mask when I can’t social distance. Getting on a plane or going on vacation is no problem for me. As more and more people see first hand how most are affected they will get back out there.

covid fatigue is already setting in which is why the case numbers are rising. Death rate is flat and declining but that doesn’t make a scary headline.

Anyone else notice that hurricane headed towards Florida? I know the company has their hands full, but I am a little surprised that they haven't had anything to say about it at all. Last I heard we had quite a few OCC members working remotely from home.

This is about to get real interesting if we take a hit and have widespread power outages...

aint nobody got time for a CAT 1. Reference wind shear decision aid, land if you can, or divert to tpa or rsw and head to the hotel (after a 3hr wait on hold of course)

They say ignorance is bliss.

Death rate flat? Better recheck your facts.

They mentioned it on the town hall.

I think 1500 people a day dying is the scary headline.

Have to die of something sometime. We are all in God’s waiting room. Some sooner than others. Fate is the hunter.

Whether it's covid or a coronary, you're still dead and the pain from loss is the same.

Almost 40 million are living and feeling the pain of being out of work. 150 thousand dead in the US is a drop in the bucket and most were already on track to die anyway.

I do feel for those that died strictly from covid, that is a tragedy. It's time for the country to take precautions and open up, time to go back to living.

I'm just curious as to where you want to "open up?" With the exception of some states in the northeast and California it seems like most states are "open."
