Afraid? Cautious? Caring? Protective? Does it matter what others do? You cannot control them. Only have control over yourself. Wear the Mask. Wash your hands. Stay healthy with diet , activities and attitude.
This is not going away and although vaccines will help it does not cure. Maybe many years from now in your great grandkids lifetime Covid will be like Smallpox, Polio, and others gone but not forgotten. Yes it would be nice if the carrier at the bar stayed out of Publix but not going to happen. Maybe , just maybe they will follow the request and mask up when they go to Publix and public places.
Maybe the obituaries should state died with Covid refused to wear mask. Or maybe we should all mind our own bodies and health and learn to deal with the world like it is today. No easy solutions. Try to be Kind. Try to lend a helping hand. Stay safe for yourself and those you care about. Or run red-light. Refuse to yield. Slide through on purpose at the STOP sign. Cheat on your taxes . Throw your cigarettes out the window... Get the picture many humans will not do simple civil actions so if you think they will fight the virus keep dreaming.MANY do and will consider the wellbeing of others and themselves. Those are the ones I choose to associate with. Make your choice and move on. Town Square is a very very small part of the world. The behaviors there are no different then weddings, football games, etc. Stay safe.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with people you do not know is rather foolish right now not to mention life threatening.

We do go to restaurants and do takeout regularly but still socially distance ourselves with folks we do not know[/QUOTE]
Agree 100%
I watch Covid spread to 18 people because 1 person was exposed she then gave it to 6, one person from the 6 gave it to 2, then 3 more, one of the 3 gave it to 4, then 2 more. Three got pretty sick and 1 is in ICU in Ocala. All from one not knowing she was exposed in time to stop being around family before giving it to them.
People this is a topical spread don’t kid yourself that it not.

Be prepared for coronavirus to be with us forever.

The virus does not move. People move the virus.

A very popular line dancing class has been hit hard recently.

Thats right. It is foolish but the world is packed with half wits. Why care? Patronize the businesses that follow the distancing/mask rules, drive by the ones that dont and live your life safely. As the nitwits die off, more houses for sale for us!

Could it be that these folks have already recovered from the virus? My BIL doesn't wear one since he and his wife tested negative after getting sick with COVID. I'm sure people secretly make judgments.

Thank you
 

You exhibit an unusual amount of common sense and wisdom compared to most. I applaud your line of thinking and agree one hundred percent. Thank you and I hope others upon reading it will modify their narrow minded way of thinking that everyone else should follow their example.

So true. We never know what tomorrow will bring. Enjoy life whenever possible.

That's funny!

If you don’t understand it, Stay Home

Or down the road they find the variant of Covid strain changes, therefore it will continue for everyone’s life time. Like The multitude of flu strains, the vaccine, doesn’t work on many.
Since My entire family, including myself went to a hospital exposed everyday, never had fear of the end result. Not only exposed to patients, but coworkers, sometimes masks were worn for multiple days, becoming ineffective, sometimes masks just weren’t available. And yet here I am, as well as my entire family, still getting up everyday, with no fear, of what we can’t control.
Then again if it’s my time, I have no control of that either. I just live my life like tomorrow is not guarantee

Well said....I was a nurse and yes we never knew what to expect when we went to work each day. Took care of all types of patients and I am still here. Enjoy life and live for today.

Sell the fear baby!

It would be nice if this were an individual decision but it’s not. If you go out and get infected and don’t know, you could infect a large number of people and here they could die due to the vulnerability of the population

I really believe the bar (or restaurant) doesn't care why the people are gathering, their money can be deposited just the same.

I know I have eaten out more and tipped more at my favorite restaurants and bars since the pandemic began; it is my way of doing what little I can to try to help them survive. I don't know what is motivating the people at the squares to patronize those businesses. Yes, maybe a few of them had the same thought that I did and are spending a little more now in hopes that their favorite place will still be there tomorrow.
