Old Fella Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 I am an optomist and a realasist. I realize the ecomomy must be opened. I have been out the past to days/once to the area I grew up in/the other to a hardware store in GF. Made a stop at the cenex station in the area I grew up in to put petro in the car. While doing so a young woman came out of the station with food/she was not wearing a mask. Went into the station where 2 young women were working. Although they handled take out food neither was wearing a mask or gloves. At the GF hardware store at best 1 out of 10 employees were wearing masks. Asked why their reply was the store was out of masks. On the plus side 8 out of 10 customers were wearing masks. I was wearing a mask at both places. Wearing a mask does not protect me from the virus does not protect me, it protects others, if I had the virus, from speading it to others. (The fact that you may not be sick does not mean you don't have the virus.) Millions of people in this country fall into this catagory.

From my observation, 50% were wearing masks on saturday when I was on 32nd. The thing is none of us really know what the acceptable threshold is. We do know that it has killed almost 70k in the US with most of those deaths occurring in under a month of time. And those who die with it are dying on average of ten years before their expected time. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.com/amp/articles/coronavirus-kills-people-an-average-of-a-decade-before-their-time-11588424401
