    noob?

    Logic frequently doesn't win the day. The point is those with the intelligence to take the virus seriously are winning the day over the Herman Cain's of the world.

    I agree with that in part. Here in Florida, it appears that common sense has taken over, mask wearing, even though not mandatory statewide, is basically required in all the major cities, and in most private indoor places. Compliance is high. As a result, new cases are dropping. But overall, sadly, I think the mask deniers and the 'it's just flu' folks are winning the day here.

    I realize the political narrative insists the above distinctions are due to lockdowns.

    Maybe after the election we can discuss whether it’s due to herd immunity.

    I just flew back from NC. I love the people who wear masks and have their noses sticking out.
    Probably explains Darth's theory that they don't work effectively. Then you go deep into the stix
    and stop at gas station far from any town and if you wear your mask they look at you like you are a traitor
    to MAGA.

    160,000+ have died thanks to Trump.

    5 million confirmed infections.

    40 million jobs lost.

    ~100,000 kids have tested positive since late July.

    You get to own this disaster.

    The woman did not want to take too many chances. If she had a food stash, she was being wise. Why take risks? If you are the one who gets it, you may die. Your family may get it. Why do rightys ridicule people who are careful?
