I think we all know it is not going away, but I am not putting myself or family in a situation that would increase the risk of being infected.

How are you going to know the risk?.....You’re best friend you have for lunch could have been in a large gathering and she’s been infected. Crowds or not. This virus is unseen.

That's the beauty of actual freedom. If we still had some of that, you'd be free to hide under your bed with a pacifier, while the rest of us could get on with our lives. Sadly, our overbearing government doesn't actually believe in the concept of liberty or freedom at all. This whole mess has proven this beyond a shadow of a doubt.

We live in eastern King County; we had the first deaths in the country at a facility that my wife and I have both been to frequently. Three weeks ago on the fire department that I retired from 11 people tested positive. Only 1 developed any symptoms. He thought that they were from his seasonal allergies. They now all test negative. If they were not firefighters none of them would have been able to get a test.

If your first contact has minimal viral load and you have a normal immune system you will develop antibodies before you even develop any symptoms. If you are old and/or have a compromised immune system and you share an enclosed space like an elevator or subway car with a bunch of sick people and you are exposed to a large amount of viral particles... it might kill you.

These people were protesting outside in the open so the chance of getting much viral load was very minimal. Studies using antibody tests are now showing that 50 to 80 times more people have already been exposed than what the standard tests that the government models are based on have indicated. This means that “Covid 19” 50 to 80 times less lethal than projected. This means that "Covid 19" is likely less lethal than many flu variants. It also explains why in the eastern part of King County this thing peaked weeks ago. Our hospital ICUs had already cleared out by the time the “stay at home order” went into effect. The question here was not whether you had been exposed but when.

We have half a million Chinese living in our community and many were taking direct flights to SeaTac after it became a problem there in December. It would be silly to assume that it was not already spreading here at that time. Even after the direct flights were ended at the end of January people just diverted to Vancouver International and drove or took the bus down here.

Living has many risks. What are you going to do?
