Hi Folks,
You have to see me smiling as I write this.
There should always be at least two sides to a story. This is 'Merica after-all. If we only hear one side, suddenly ^It's the TRUTH. And you must follow the truth^.
It ain't the truth. It's an opinion.
Though I appreciate your efforts on my behalf, my health, safety, and happiness are not dependent upon anyone but me.
When I become that afraid of that bogey man du jour, I'll put on TWO masks. I won't go out. I'll get a food service to deliver only canned food to my house and leave it on the steps. I'll suit up to clean the cans and take them in the house. I won't infect them and they won't infect me.
Hopefully, those opinions don't become so widespread that they do become, de facto, ^THE TRUTH^.
I'm sorry for your fear, but it ain't my problem.
I'm courteous at work. Only one woman is doubling down on this mask thing. She had plastic sheeting tacked from ceiling to floor around her desk. I avoid her or I wear the mask. Six feet or mask.
All of us are over it We're very casual about the mask. I'm one of the more casual about it. I should be dead by now. I think we all know it's phony, and we (I) work for the government. We don't publicly talk about it. We put on the mask in public... because of the pay check.
A lot of people I interact with think that it's all about getting rid of Trump,.... and preparing the populace for the brave new world.
In my community, population of a bit over 6,000, there have been 21 positive cases, only a couple got sick that we know of (HEPA), and no deaths. Only one guy, my age, is vocal. He got very, very sick, but he's over it. He's not for masks.
This is 'Merica, dammit! Be careful out there!
