Hello. I'm glad too. Restaurants are less crowded and the clientele seems to be higher quality.

After the usurper's coronation, he commanded everyone on federal property to wear a magic mask.
That same night, he and the Worst Family family posed for pictures at the Lincoln Memorial (federal property) - none of them was wearing a magic mask.
Calipornia Governor "Twosome" Newsom declared that it's "essential" to avoid "mixing with people outside of your household." Then he had dinner with lots of people outside his household None wore magic masks.
Twosome did apologize, and claimed he was just attending "a friend's birthday party." Maybe you heard that.
But you might not know that the swanky restaurant "his friend's birthday party" was in charged $800 for Twosome's dinner, or that his "friend" is a DEMOCRAT lobbyist, a politically connected fat cat "fixer" who got Hollywood studios exemptions from Twosome's shutdown orders.

If somebody attempts to approach me in a store, I move away.
Once I was in a line, and that's the worst - many do not leave enough distance -, and somebody came up directly behind me. I attempted to point out that the line would go no faster for their proximity, and that no one would cut in front of them, but it fell upon deaf ears. I ended up deciding to leave the line, leave my selections in the store, and exit the store. My mistake was shopping at a popular time of day. Ever since, I have arrived as the store opens, gotten my things quickly, and then gotten out as quickly as possible. That has been the best way to get food and maintain distancing.
Once I went to a hardware store and it was nuts. They were having a sale and the place was too crowded. I really needed the item I was after, but after surveying the situation I left without it. The registers had 6' spacing lines taped on the floor one or two deep, which were being observed. After that, the line was as closely packed as it would normally be with no pandemic. The absurdity of the situation struck me. What was the point of distancing only at the registers but not further back? It was ridiculous.
I ended up finding what I needed from a friend who I knew to maintain a large supply of just such items. I did reimburse him fairly for it, and since it was only one item and not part of larger set, it ended up costing me far less than what I was after in the crowded store.
Crowds like the one seen at that store should be discouraged. I understand the profit motive and the need to maintain businesses and worker salaries, so the government should make payments to businesses to keep workers on the payroll and make expenses. Our country has stellar credit which is ideal for use in an emergency. This is that emergency.
It will run the debt up, but that can be easily addressed over a period of many years by raising taxes on the richest Americans.
Patriotic Americans should support this. Most of the wealth of the country is held by a small number of individuals. It is time to tap into that for the good of the country which allowed them to become so wealthy. It's a two way street.

I'm confident that the rest of humanity applauds your decision, but not because of COVID cooties. Keep it up.

Just because you made poor economic decisions, I shouldn't have to pay for it. I don't need another whopping big check from the government to get by. The last one went straight into an investment account. If Biden sends another $1400 or whatever to me it too will go straight into an investment account. Hell, I have $1500 in cash sitting in my job folder from side work I haven't decided on how to use.
And, yea, I go out almost everyday to people's homes and businesses to fix their electrical problems right now, and have been since last March, and I NEVER wear a fucking mask! I was at a duplex yesterday putting in a light in the pantry. My kid was there helping me. We were there for four hours, no masks, the renter--no mask-- and she now has a pantry light. I also fixed some illegal wiring in the bathroom because I came across it running the new circuit.
Got two calls to go on today. Both are minor, bad receptacle or something. No mask.
Haven't got Chinese Disease. If I do, I'll deal with it. If I don't, I wasn't inconvenienced by following idiot, useless, government mandates. Oh, I'll add that I'm seeing more professionals at the home improvement stores at the pro desk refusing to wear a mask too. I take it everyone is getting tired of doing something they see as worthless.

Hello T. A. Gardner,
So does that mean you have been tested negative or that you have no symptoms...

Excellent.
I think the eligibility guidelines for WuFlu Welfare that keep anyone who earns a fat salary from taking borrowed money from the government that future taxpayers will have to pay back are too lax, BTW.
I'm surprised that you qualified, frankly.

We go out each time the local areas drop below "red" and are allowed folks in their restaurants. Otherwise we occasionally do pickup but it is a far drive and food gets cold by the time we get home, it isn't pleasant.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Have you noticed that the Magic Maskers can't explain why Calipornia has as many (or more) cases per 100,00 residents as less restrictive states?
