@ the walgreens in lake deaton plaza they are offering corona tests to ANYONE. i asked specifically if we needed to show symptoms to get the test & i was told we DO NOT. i asked why & was told they are testing for the antibodies. we do not need a referral, just make appt online or show up in person. i'm now wondering if the people who carry the virus & not showing symptoms are the ones being included in the # of new cases?? if so, why aren't those criteria explained when reported in the news?

There should be no demonstrating, looting or rioting either.

You can't include golf. That sport is a natural for distancing, social or not.

jackiez45 06-28-2020 12:42 PM

I totally agree!

Golf is allowed but only if you fix ball marks, divots, rake traps, and are not a slowpoke.

Otherwise you get covid.

I'm outraged about stickers and social distancing at a rally with a few thousand people.

Millions walking shoulder to shoulder while chanting and screaming. Crickets

Selective outrage is comical.

I'm outraged about the protests and the rallies with no social distancing. People have lost their livelihoods because of this virus. Bars have closed again and protests are allowed to persist? I do not agree with that.

People should take full responsibility for themselves and stop playing the childish blame game.

Red Rose 06-28-2020 02:09 PM

There are no rakes.

This is beyond me, but, why are WHITE people still protesting? :shrug:

Hmmmmnnnn.....beaches/protests.....younger people.....no masks....no social distancing.....younger people.....

Maybe when enough of them bring it home to their Mom or Dad or Grand parents they might wake up.......nah......that obviously does not matter to the radicals.

Maybe Mom and Dad and even Grandparents are not at home. Maybe they are the ‘radicals’ who are standing cheek by jowl, shoulder to shoulder, at the bars (yes, attached to restaurants) during the brief period they were reopened and had to be closed again because of poor to no planning going into the reopening, coupled with, as pointed out many times in this and other threads, absent common sense.

The virus is far from over. For all the opinions out there, in the end we can ignore all this and evaluate based solely on numbers, dates, and facts.

CDC guidelines state we need to be 6 feet away from each other. In addition no one was required to wear a mask. Every other seat was tagged with Do Not Sit Here to insure people were distanced and those signs were removed. We need to protect each other. Look at the virus burning across Florida now that people are being disrespectful of each other.

Very good, that is logical. There are many who only show outrage at one or the other

Lindsyburnsy 06-29-2020 06:59 AM

Stickers were removed PRIOR to the rally not after.

Byte1 06-29-2020 07:32 AM

If you did not attend the rally, then why does it matter if the signs/stickers were removed? Am I supposed to be outraged if some drivers do not wear seat belts? I admit that I am irritated when I see folks drive through stop signs without stopping. Sorry if I am not very concerned about what some adults do a thousand miles away. I think I will concentrate my focus on what is happening in The Villages. Sumter county, STILL only 17 deaths by the virus. And increase in those that are infected, but I find a bit of comfort knowing that the death rate in my area has not risen much recently.
