Maybe that is why Slovakia is doing great in stopping the spread.
We all wear masks here right from the beginning.
Slowly, measures are going down, but in shops and buses you must wear a mask.

One of my biggest concerns is my youngest son - who has been a virtual prisoner at home for months. He's begged me to go play basketball with his friends - even just to go get a haircut. And I know kids simply aren't as careful as adults / don't seem to realize how serious taking precautions is. I've let him do a few things away, but I also have concerns about his friends and how careful THEY are AND who they've been around. If he didn't have videogames and friends he can play and talk with online, I don't know what he'd do all the time!

You live out in the middle of nowhere!
I think the coronavirus would probably get lost going to your house.

Just arrived in Helen, GA for a few day vacation.
Virtually nobody is wearing masks. Only employees in stores, and a few old frail people.
It’s kinda weird...actually.

We spoke with a store owner here in Helen, about the lack of masks.
He said he doesn’t know a single person in the town that has Covid 19. He said on the weekends, people have been packing into his store, and other stores in town, and nobody has gotten sick. There are tourists from all over the place.
It’s almost as if this whole thing doesn’t even exist.

Well, if you can't see it and it doesn't effect you, it obviously doesn't exist.

I really think it doesn’t exist here. Maybe the mountain air kills it. Or maybe it doesn’t like tourists. Or maybe the Pentecostals prayed it away. Who knows.

More than likely, I think it's probably that last one!

You may be right, multiple virus can't exist in the same host, they tend to fight each other.
You can't have Covid-19 AND Pentecostalism in the same place.

My son's best friend just got back positive results for Covid 19. The only symptoms she’s had are less taste and smell. Otherwise, she feels normal. Just took my son and he tested negative. But since it was the quick test, the results are only 80-87% accurate. His work is paying him to stay home for 14 days.

He’s fine. I think his work is erring on the side of paranoia.
