It seem´s some folks here, and goverments don´t have the real facts clear yet, or simply ignor them...
1)- Unless we have enough test kit´s, and then test given, we wont know how many are infected, thus all those numbers are not worth much!
Why goverments are not doing something about the test kits is quite bizzar!
2)- The lockdown is to avoid spread to those very vunarable, and because of shortage of supply´s and resources (medical, protection gear, personell, beds etc.).
3)- The most vunarable are the elder with heart issues, debetis, and resperotory issues. This was the case of my mother at age 86, debetis, heart issues (x2 stens) and water in lungs. She maybe would have lived for a bit more, but due to her catching the infection she died two days ago. Any one over 60 with the above mentioned health issues are at risk and should take special care! Age could go down as much as 45 if similar health issues are present, we are still not sure the effect it has on certain age, but we do know which healt issues help the virus to be deadly!
4)- We don´t know how long this will last, and/or if there will be a second or more waves! How can we know, if we don´t know how many are really infected? Staying home is just a prevention, and alot of goverments have taken there time to take on effective mesures!
5)- With regards to warmer climate, southren country´s will dictate if it´s true or not.
A world state of siege undecover? Unfortunately we wont know the real reasons for now, what we do know it´s world-wide so we are all in it sooner or later. Personally I don´t trust ANY goverment, they are just buisiness men and only care for one thing! A similar thing with the media!
Stay home, stay safe and be open minded for what´s up and coming.

The Dash
the poem by Linda Ellis
I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning… to the end.
He noted that first came the date of birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time they spent alive on earth and now only those who loved them know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own, the cars… the house… the cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard; are there things you’d like to change? For you never know how much time is left that still can be rearranged.
To be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we’ve never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile… remembering that this special dash might only last a little while.
So when your eulogy is being read, with your life’s actions to rehash, would you be proud of the things they say about how you lived your dash?
Remember, you are part of your mother's dash. Take care and be well.
