To those who think that everyone will act responsibly on their own, I watched an older woman come out of a grocery store with a mask. "Good," I thought, "She is behaving responsibly." The sun hit her face and she had to sneeze. She reached up, pulled her mask down and sneezed into the open air, then put her mask back on and continued pushing her buggy to the car.

THAT is how people behave.

That woman is the older version of the spring breakers who go down to FL and act irresponsibly. She may be a little better, but not much.

As a rule, the number of people who DON'T behave responsibly, even if a relatively small number, are still a threat to the responsible people. That's one of the reasons we have police to deal w crime. A small percentage of people, but enough to be a threat to the law-abiding people.

So, when people really start hitting the beaches, throwing frisbees and footballs and inevitably being in closer quarters, this thing is going to erupt again.

And then we have a segment who thinks the whole thing is a hoax. Sadly, we get a lot of Trump voters on our beaches.
 
They do it for skin color. Virus testing, quarantining/banning is common sense. Ready to be invaded by carriers from Albany, NOLA and Atlanta?
Turn them around at the borders. We’re lucky they can’t use the excuse, “I’m just passing thru officer.” :lol:
 
For the obedient mask wearing folks. Cliff notes: JAMA states only wear masks if you are sick. If you are healthy, you do not need to be wearing a mask.

We aren’t Pence. How the hell would you know you don’t need one if you haven’t been tested? And if you were tested the result is only accurate that day. No matter what trump claims, there is no test for future infections. I wear one whenever I go into a store out of courtesy to others.

The consensus of the medical community is that you can have the virus and have no symptoms and still transmit the virus. In other words, a person with the virus and no mask, could go into Lowe’s, cough once, and his covid cloud could linger there for an hour and a half.
