We are at 29 deaths per million people now. At least officially. Seems to be very likely now though that number is inflated.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Every week we're revising our expectations on when things will get back to normal. Large gatherings like sports events won't be a normal thing until a vaccine is widely available. Estimates for that are 18 months at best. I believe you are right.

You were never safe to go into crowds before this new Coronavirus. There have always been dangerous communicable infections that you can get from being around other people. Tuberculosis, Hep A, Influenza, various fungal infections - they are all dangerous and communicable and for all of our lives we've been going out an living life without unreasonable fear.
This virus isn't going to go away by this summer. It's out there and you are likely to eventually contact it. We are not going to eliminate this virus by staying home. We are just trying to slow it down so everyone doesn't catch it at once, and hopefully buying ourselves some time to find better ways of treating it and preparing the supplies and equipment needed to help those who get seriously ill.
Stop worrying so much. You were never as safe as you think you were and the future is not as dangerous as you imagine.
Also, I know a woman who caught it. She's been home with her family for the past two weeks - now 8 days since she had to go to the hospital. None of the other four members in the family have any signs of being sick. I don't think it's always as highly contagious as the news makes us imagine.
What from Christ that soul can sever, Bound by everlasting bands? None shall take thee From the Strength of Israel's hands.

Heard on the news this morning that it's suspected a zoo employee gave the virus to a tiger. That means pet owners infected could transfer the virus to their pets?
I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.
