With regard to social distancing it doesn’t look much different from the recent protests around the world, but I guess because they don’t have a cause to back other than trying to put some normality back in their lives they should be scorned and ridiculedSouthend on Sea in England
With 42,927 deaths tested positive and even more than 52,000 including suspected cases, the United Kingdom deplores the heaviest toll in Europe of Covid-19 disease.

Contrary to popular belief, the US is not really that bad in comparison, with 375 deaths per million, only slightly above the Netherlands (356) and Ireland (349).

There's a reason I don't live in Florida. Or, the areas that are relaxing too quickly.Creepy EM pictures in this story.
New things turn up all the time. Filopodia are powered internally by actin filament polymerization, which can be blocked by an old drug known as Colchicine.
It's possible that Colchicine might inhibit this mechanism of viral transmission, but it would also inhibit normal cell movement and it's toxic at big doses.
edit:
Colchicine may not be effective in COVID-19 infection; it may even be harmful?

A new study from the University of Athens in Greece found that 14% of coronavirus patients in a control group died compared to 1.8% in the group receiving colchicine, an old gout drug.www.dailymail.co.uk
So people all over the place are already on that idea.
oh with the schooling system we got now and a few decades back we're are getting dumber, that's a given, and homeschooling is not easy, most parents can't lift that task at all. However if you can do it. We did it the first years, sowing the seeds if you like, and that was a good decision. I still discuss all kinds of subjects with my children, some of it they agree, some of it they don't, but HEY that's why we have the discussions.From 2019.

one word, Darwin!Most of my age group that I know here in town are just as cautious. My friend who owns a large law firm is having almost all his staff work from home. They got upgraded equipment for teleconferencing. Hence, my free laptop.
Few rational persons are being dismissive of the second wave. They are silently taking their own precautions. The not-so-rational, however...

In all cases, protests or or hobbies, there is irresponsibility here.With regard to social distancing it doesn’t look much different from the recent protests around the world, but I guess because they don’t have a cause to back other than trying to put some normality back in their lives they should be scorned and ridiculed

First rule you need to teach, question everything!Even if homeschooling is not an option, adults can do so much for young one's minds to develop, soo easily, with so little effort .
Bragging here, forgive me, I just love my daughter.
I kept feeding my now 20 year old daughter books . I simply spoke with her about topics/issues I am interested in, about things that concern me, personally, globally, in terms of health, economics, politics, you name it . Essentially form very early on, adapting the way I speak and what we talk about to her capabilites as good as I could. This in turn sparked her curiousity about many things not covered at school, or at least not from the background or perspective I do look at things . I started challenging her thoughts and believes I think when she was 7, by way of dialogue and information rather than argument and discussion . And, I am keeping the promise I gave myself, and her, even before she was born : I am never lying to her .
2 weeks ago, we talked a bit about QuantumMechanics ( the few bits of which understand enough of the words that I can actually talk about it ), and I managed to get the dialogue to one of the dilemmas of the many worlds theory . I described the Problem using an admittedly rather clumsy metaphore ( I told her it was not a really good one...). She came up with the solution, out of nothing, just like that ! She was like "But what if...?" . And I smiled and said "Yeah, and that is pretty much how it very likely really is ."
She simply solved the Problem .
A few days later, I gave her the copy of Kahneman's "Thinking. Fast and Slow" I had bought to give away . Will do her english a lot good, and we will have a lot more things to talk about in the future.
First rule you need to teach, question everything!
The not-so-rational, however...
