Go figure.

I saw Petrina at Belle Glade on Saturday night, August 15, and the tables were spaced for social distancing. I saw no place” totally packed with tons of people”. I was there. Were you?

The squares could be reopened with relative safety if everyone in the square wore masks. Require drinks/food in separate socially distanced areas.

COVID-19 severity likely dose-dependent - Wear a mask - YouTube

More or less what is being done to open schools.

[Barborv]

If people want to go to populated areas, as long as EVERYONE is wearing a mask and not sitting on top of each other, it could work. But it has to be mandatory masks to protect the health of others. Just like you are not allowed to smoke in places, you have to wear a helmet , you have to wear a seat belt, drive at certain speeds, etc. This is to protect us and from each other. I'm tired of hearing about rights, what about other peoples right. They have every right to be there also. But Im talking when you're in crowds. Not taking a walk or golf cart drive, etc. I'm starting school in a week and it is MANDATORY to wear masks and 6 ft. apart. It will be in the classrooms but in the halls, forget about it. Obviously staff is most concerned, for Im sure the high school students, not so much. This is in NY.

Not all establishments are following the social distancing guidelines. I stay away from those but have no problem spending time and money at establishments which do follow guidelines. City Fire is one place I have not gone to and will stay away from indefinitely.

[Wallyworld]

I agree, and even if there is a vaccine I doubt it will be 100% effective. Live your life, every day you let slip away you are one day closer to the end.

[Timothyimitchell]

I would guess the majority of Americans feel this way. I do too. Live life and Get on with it.

Check the data. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graph...-cases-deaths/

Dear Karen,
yeah, 7 cases out of 450,000 bikers- scary. What you have not figured out is - this is a bad case of the flu. Yeesh - if you are scared stay home and stick your head in the toilet. Let the rest of us who understand the risks are not that great go about our lives.
We have done the math and the risk is just not that great. 45,000 people die EVERY YEAR in auto accidents - do you not get in cars? Leave the rest of us out of your terror, we are not scared.

Signed - the majority who think Fauci is the problem.

Die young or hide old? Life is short no matter what. If you scared to go outside understandable.

They will try to force us to take a vaccine after 20 rats have survived. Good luck with that!!! Most wont want their shot. If you think not wearing a mask is horrendous, what will you think of people who won’t have their vaccines papers on them to prove that they got it. Ding, ding, ding round 2 ladies and gentlemen. Buckle up it’s going to get interesting! 🤨

[Number 10 GI]

Whole lot of speculation based on some very flimsy evidence.

it's all about risk....

they have lawyers, you have lawyers

IMHO for decades we should have closed down all the law schools and converted them to med schools, or trade schools

we have way, way more than enough lawyers
