BTW viewing ToTV is ranked VERY LOW, except for blood pressure at times.

Do you have a link to that chart by any chance? Even when I clicked on it, it was too small to read. (My old eyes, probably)

I stopped agreeing with this list when I saw "going to a beach" ranked more risky than grocery shopping, going to a library, and sitting in a Dr's waiting room. Not buying that one. As long as you are social distancing at the beach, it is much safer than entering any buildings where people are.

From the link provided.....

"But before you use this graphic as a roadmap for your life, you should ask yourself a few questions. Ok, maybe it's actually a lot of questions:

"When people are considering an activity or outing, they have to consider variables such as indoors versus outdoors, time spent around others, density of people, shared surfaces and the ability to physical distance," says Dr. Alok Patel, a contributor to KABC's sister station, KGO, for starters.

"For example, the Texas Medical Association chart lists going to the beach as a higher risk than going grocery shopping. However, walking along an empty beach in NorCal's Mendocino County by yourself poses next-to-no COVID-19 risk. Going to a crowded grocery store where no one is wearing masks (not allowed in California, by the way) would pose a relatively higher health risk.

"Then there's the question of any underlying medical conditions you might have, or if you have high-risk members of your household."

"Plus, you should also think about the rate of transmission in your community. Going out to a restaurant Orange County isn't the same risk as going out to eat in NorCal's in Shasta County, for example.
"
The biggest asterisk on all of the activities in the chart? Masks. If people aren't wearing face coverings during any of those activities, the risk factor gets dialed way up."

They were dying in CHOP, just not from COVID-19.

I agree. My hair salon is safer than any grocery store. The owner has taken every seat out that would cause anyone to be closer than about ten feet. She is wearing a mask and gloves. I have watched her personally disinfect every seat, the bathroom, and counter space that each customer uses. Clients have the option to wear masks, and she'll work around it. The room is huge; I bet it's 30' square. There are only two stylists in it. There is no waiting area anymore. Clients are asked to wait in their car until the stylist is ready for them.


I also notice that tennis (and therefore, I maintain, pickleball) is rated safer than golf. I'm sure there is disagreement here on that.

I've deleted the last two posts.
I think they would provoke discussion, and I don't want to get in trouble with the Mods.

There is even disagreement about whether it's necessary to wear a mask when social distancing isn't possible.

I always say - I could open up a Thread stating "OMG - what a gorgeous day in The Villages!"

...and there would be replies -
I SEE A CLOUD!!!
NO! 5% chance of rain.
NO! The Developer is greedy.
Oh Yeah? Wait till a dog poops on your lawn.
No way! It's too hot!
