Right now, this area isn't as bad, but wait until the snowbirds start coming back and the usual tourists. We know that social distancing won't be happening on the squares. There will be the science deniers who won't wear masks. Its a recipe for disaster.
And that why one has the freedom to choose. Stay at home, groceries delivered to your door. Worrying is just as unhealthy.
Birds were here when things were shut down, many never left. Since you know people won’t wear masks, it’s a good reason to continue your way of life.
Yes smoked and no lung cancer, And I came back from Nam.
And yes Analogy of healthcare workers is pretty close. I lost count of how many times I was exposed to something that would cause serious harm to my health. Countless X-ray without gowns, TB no PPEs, and the list goes on, usually 3 to 4 weeks later and yet still around. You never have the time to worry about what can happen to yourself, only the outcome of those you care for. And yet most healthcare workers don’t think themselves as hero’s work during this crisis. It’s just their job.

Looks like the Sharon has a show October 9
