Maintain a respectful distance from others.
At this point, it's not even 6 feet. If you're wearing a mask, stay at arm's length. It's not too much to ask, it's not an unreasonable request, it doesn't infringe on 'mah freedums." Don't touch me, don't breathe on me, don't get in my space. This is something you should've been doing most of your life. It's called common courtesy. Or it used to be, until someone decided that "mah freedums" were more important.

Yes. Those 3 things on your list are all we’ve got so why not? It makes no sense not to try.
One thing that really surprises me is that there are women falling into the Orwellian traps.
When women love, really love, that love comes with an almost primitive instinct to protect those they love. Women can love like tigresses or mama bears.
Yet, here we are, seeing women caught up in believing what they WANT to believe about Covid — even though they could end up putting those they love at risk. I don’t get it.

PS: I am in Ohio right now. My phone just rang. I have a doc’s appointment today and was planning to go in person. But the office just called to ask if I could do the appointment on Zoom due to increased Covid. We have taken a half step forward and two or three steps backward. . .Damn, right, I am tired of Covid but I am also tired of those who will not do what they can to get us through this. This started in winter, then came spring, summer, now fall. Four seasons — with no end in sight. This is reality.
