Its too easy to cook the numbers because it takes so long for covid19 to incubate. Here's the problem as I see it. If you went unmasked to your uncle's BBQ and then family members showed signs of a disease 48 hours later, well that might give a person pause. But a whole week later? It just so easy to make any number of justifications*

*her skirt was too short**

** sorry wrong type of victim blaming

[waves back from AZ]

Was out shopping down here in Baja Arizona this weekend, hit four places, big asian grocery store (about 80% masked, but not a lot of people) Ace Hardware (about 50% masked, cashiers and a few employees and some decent traffic flow measures put in place) Sprouts grocery (more than half the people masked, all the employees were masked, the aisle for the canned coods and such were all marked for one-way traffic) and Frys (local Krogers chain. about 1 in three customers were masked and about half of them don't understand that their noses are also something they breath through. )

This has been their plan from the get go. Crank the money machine up, and lie and hide the infection rates and deaths. Having a humming stock market and low unemployment is their only chance to stay in power. So they calculated that the lives lost won't matter anyway, if they lose the election. Because really, they don't care about human life. Except their own, that is.

You have close enough contact with your delivery people to talk to them about masks and hand them things? Even booze deliveries here just involve pressing ID up to the window so the masked* driver can see it before they leave stuff on the porch.

* In the case of my only alcohol delivery, bandana-style. It was like my bar was getting un-robbed.

I'm not sure. I might have missed feeling cold through all the white-hot rage.

If you think it will be gone in 2025 if he gets re-elected in 2020, you are more optimistic than I.
