So many people are making good points here. Each of us bears a personal responsibility to ourselves and those we interact with—yes. Our public officials also have a responsibility to act on our behalf. This is a virus that may not show symptoms for some time, so can be spread across a wide range before we know it. Many say it isnot here so why be inconvenienced? Well, how do you know it isn’t on our doorstep? There are not enough tests to know where it really is. We are being discouraged from wearing masks even though the primary means of spreading is by touching your mouth— because there is a fear there will not be enough masks for health care workers. What does that tell us? Venues in the villages are open because of financial concerns NOT public safety concerns. If this virus grabs villagers there will be lots of houses on the market next spring, I’m afraid.
