I had an inspection yesterday at a nearby base. The inspection was outside. I walk up with no mask and was told by the GC that everyone had to wear a mask. I asked, "why", the inspection is outside, breezy, sunny, etc... He said that base General wanted it that way. The General saw a contractor not wearing a mask and removed him from the base for three years. I walk up to the area that I was to inspect and everyone there had on masks, except for the Government employee. I had to laugh.

Escambia, Santa Rosa vacation rentals get OK to reopen heading into Memorial Day weekend Phase I of Florida's re-open plan allowed for the hotels and resorts to open, but did not allow for vacation rentals to open. The Gov. is now allowing rentals on a county by county basis, as long as you have a plan in place. The plans for the two counties of metro Pensacola are below. More or less keeping the risk as low as possible.....If you got problems at home, don't bring them here.

I find that I agree with him on most things that aren't Sioux vs Bison. Different sides of the same "nickel".

I have a problem with bailing out states that were already in financial trouble before this began. Illinois for one has been in financial trouble for years, a lot of it having to do with their pension system. This is not a red state vs. blue state issue.

I can one up you on that. I was walking out of Publix about a month ago and I saw a guy in the parking lot walking toward the door with long pants, hooded sweatshirt, gloves and safety goggles. All you could see was eyes through the goggles. Even funnier is that I knew the guy. I walked toward him with a big smile on my face. He felt like he had to tell me who he was, because of how he was protected, but I could tell.

After the Boston marathon bombing I watched people vacating their own houses with their hands in the air, being ordered about and led around by law enforcement, while they were searching for the bombers. I shook my head and commented that a dangerous precedent was being set.

When this whole thing began, we were told that the US medical community couldn’t handle the number of cases that would occur and that we had to shut everything down to flatten the curve. Clearly that was an over reaction, as we set up temporary medical facilities that went largely unused. It just seems to me we used a chain saw to a problem that could have been resolved with pruning shears. There been over-reach by public officials to take away rights and liberties, because they thought they could get away with it. I am hopeful that will be reversed.

Coronavirus droplets caused by talking remain in the air for 8-14 minutes, new study says Man, if I am to listen to what all of the learned experts are telling me to do, I may as well just go sit in my house and prepare to die, because one way or another that virus is going to find me.

I prefer the 6’ apart for social distancing. A number that they pulled from their backsides.

I wonder how often this happens...Colorado State Health Dept. Classified Man Who Died of Alcohol Poisoning as Covid Death, Coroner Claims

They would be essential workers.

Since Mafia Man (grammar guy) is already asleep. It is eminent domain, not imminent domain.

Florida, like California, is lower than Germany in the deaths/million. Florida is somewhat of a microcosm of the US. A large percentage of the US deaths are in the Northeast... NY, NJ, PA and MA. 56% of the deaths in Florida are in 3 counties, Miami/Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Gov DeSantis, has for the most part allowed the counties to do what they see is best for their community. Florida began Phase I of reopening, with the exception of the above counties. There is no need for a national policy or statewide policies when the threat is not widespread. When beaches opened in certain locations across the country, a segment of our society went nuts at how irresponsible it was. The beaches here opened last week. My family took advantage of it. Fresh air, sunshine, exercise, etc.

An ongoing event that make your numbers pale in comparison. Granted these figures are worldwide and not just USA.

Had to do it....

I prefer to not live in fear. Fear is not a plan. Way too much of it going on.

The arrogance is strong with this one.

You may want to reread your post because your “point” got muddled into your bashing of America for being over regulated. But you want to “regulate” people to where masks? My question to all who are in favor of masking and sheltering.... when does it end? What is the end game? When are we all safe to stand less than 6’ apart? I asked these questions early on early on of people who were supporting these actions and have never gotten a good answer other than “we have to flatten the curve”. Okay, that is quite arbitrary and doesn’t provide answers to my questions. Any answers out there from the maskers?

I have a coworker with an America is bad attitude. Here is a good place to do a comparison between countries. USA ranks pretty well in regards to regulation. https://www.heritage.org/index/visualize?cnts=unitedstates|romania&src=country Once upon a time USA was top 5 in this index and had been trending upward over the past few years until the 2020 index.

To date there are just over 271k Corona deaths in the world. Yet we kill people on purpose at a much higher rate and it is ignored

I have a vendor in Louisiana who knew of four people in the New Orleans metro who had it 3 of them said it was just like a normal flu. The other said it was like a really nasty flu. All four are over it.

Are these the same folks who “model” global warming? Isn’t modeling what they are doing to predict the future? The “experts” took the extreme in all of their modeling of the virus and scared everyone and look what we have. It almost looks dystopian going to the grocery store. Arrows on the floor showing you which direction to walk, lines of where to stand in line, people in masks avoiding each other. There seems to be more congestion at end of the aisles this way, than there was normally. Something just doesn’t seem right in telling well people to stay home.

The point was that they were supposed to have 40,000 deaths by now, if they didn’t close everything down. They have around 2,700. The “experts” were way off. I also, for weeks, kept hearing about flattening the curve or you would see a huge spike. Sweden didn’t seem to experience that. The UK, who did shut down, did spike, at least briefly.

By not shutting down their country, Sweden has lost just under 2,700 people or 0.0265% of their population. The predictions from the educated said that they would lose 40,000 by May 1st and 100,000 by June. Lockdown Stockholm Syndrome
