It's sad indeed, Darlene:-( Let's hope a vaccine is coming in the near future, but it absolutely shouldn't be rushed. It must be very safe and effective!

So very true Edward, I think everyone needs to be reminded of this a lot more.

Sadly, a lot of people who continue to live in denial or think it's all a hoax won't listen! It's a pity.
