The article posted lists nothing about the strains. But it’s is commonly known there are a number of different strains, all with similar genomes and likely becoming less virulent. So far the evidence shows it is mostly stable.

I’m going to vehemently disagree with your assessment about lockdown being pointless.

Covid killed more people in March than many other commonly-regarded causes of death.

For example, in New York 870 died of heart disease in the first week of April whereas 5,226 died of Covid during that time.

In that same week, Covid was the #1 cause of death in Louisiana and Washington DC.

Lockdown very much is still necessary.

Agree with A1 and A2. CBIZ if you look at all the countries with the worst death rates, it’s mostly because they went over hospital capacity. So lockdown absolutely decreases total fatalities because once you run out of ventilators the death rate spikes up. And uhhh not sure how to convey this but your logic is faulty. Lockdown causes hospitals to not be at capacity. We can’t rely on hospital capacity to determine whether to lockdown because by then it’s too late due to the possibly long incubation period.

The number infected is estimated to be 10x higher than what’s been reported, making the fatality rate about .01%. There’s no point in staying in lockdown much longer

Number of strains doesn’t matter if the mutations are small and the vaccine can target a common element across all of them.

Also mutations generally tend toward less harmful as asymptomatic allows it to spread easier.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
