    So, I think I heard a news story earlier today that one of the people working with Harris on the campaign trail has tested positive for the Coronavirus. And this was supposed to be the campaign that worked with generally mandated procedures to prevent the spread of this virus. It seems this epidemic spares no one.

    This is getting to be like the philosophy of the black death plague in medieval Europe. It spares neither the king nor the pauper.

    It's the same class of virus that causes the Common Cold with the symptoms and fatality rate of Pandemic Flu The mask is and distancing is about containing the spread and keeping hospitalization rates at a manageable level, not outright stop it (though it did seem to stop the flu).

    Not entirely. It does tend to be more of a problem for those who are out and about in crowded public places every day. Or those living with someone who is about and about every day, but who doesn't practice protocols in the home.

    The procedures worked really well given your saying that only one of the people working with Harris tested positive. That means that no one in Harris's team caught the virus from that infected team member who must have been infected elsewhere. Now compare that to Trump and Melania infecting all those people at The Rose Garden party
