Ever since the pandemic started, we've all heard and lived by certain numbers and rules for coping with the virus.
It has become apparent that these 'rules of numbers' no longer work and we should stop thinking they do.
We've learned a lot about this virus in 2 and 1/2 years. Let's adapt to it before it kills us all.
The numbers are guidelines. Best guesses. Some of them have been updated and others have not. The reality is that we cannot live our lives according to infinitesimals. And we certainly cannot shepherd public health behaviors without signposts and catchy phrases. If we give the public the full scientific spectrum health research, they will throw up their hands instead of following recommendations for "after 50."
