Optimism

I wrote that prior post two days ago and forgot to post it.

There's an article the LA Times today about a young couple with a toddler who both got corona virus. Both suffered from severe symptoms and luckily recovered. But the article raised an issue close to home - who takes care of the kid when both parents go down? Particularly because the kid herself was probably a carrier...

The article ended with the parents being grateful because it wasn't worse.

But it got me thinking.

This virus spreads fastest amongst families. Duh. And it's deadly and debilitating. And it's everywhere.

So why haven't we heard MORE stories of kids not being cared for? Surely there are young children whose parents have the virus. Who is caring for these children - in China, in Italy, in NYC? What is happening?

My suspicion - the virus for many is a very bad cold. The virus either doesn't spread as hard or fast as "worst case scenario" folks anticipate. A lot of folks get the virus, but barely notice. Or some combo.

Something is up.
