Hello Teresa, I think we're singing 2 slightly different choruses of the same song. I think we can agree about following trusted members of the medical/scientific community, but realizing even their opinions may change due to the fact that even they are learning new things daily about this very dynamic situation. As you said, in your state, there are now at least 4 strains.
I guess one of my biggest wishes (other than prevention of further deaths from the virus) is that people avoid frenzied panic created by sensationalistic media.
As your user same states, you are hopeful. That is a good trait from which we all benefit.
Be well,
Allison

@team4travis- I don't think that anyone is panicking. I think that people are acting fearful, the way as they should be about this virus. Cautiously entering society is the best way. Areas, where there are no restrictions, are seeing an upswing in the number of cases. The media might exaggerate some things but the number of people lost or seriously ill and their mourning families are not some made-up hyped event.
