Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

It's the mask issue that really exposes people. I understand why folks think we have to open everything up. And I pretty much agree -- we can't completely shut our economy down for long. The cost is just too high. But there is no reason to not wear a mask. Those who are opposed to that are either selfish, political, ignorant, or all of the above. It makes no sense to not wear a mask when you are indoors around other people.

 

I'm doing a refi on my house and had to have an appraiser come inside. She acted completely indignant when we asked her to wear a mask. She complained the whole time that the mask was making it hard for her to take pictures WITH HER CELL PHONE. She's a realtor so if I ever decide to sell I can cross one name off the list. Keep in mind my 73 year old mother in law lives here and we told the woman this. She still got irritated.

 

What an ahole. Someone in her position should be more than happy to comply with a such a simple request.

 

Com

Come on, you know the messaging comes from the top. He threatens funding and supplies if the states don't bow down and kiss the ring.

 

Agreed. I paid her $435 to come in and take pictures and write up an appraisal. She should have been fine with wearing a freaking hazmat suit if I asked her to.

 

Every POTUS does that. (See Obama and NCHB-2).

But the state is 100% the one to make that decision. That is not the job of the feds.

 

complete A hole. We’ve had a dishwasher installed, washer & dryer installed, three diff window crews & blessedly blazing new internet installed. All people showed up masked & in most cases they contacted us first to make sure we were taking precautions to protect their people

 

At my condo there are a group of men who head out to the patio every day at 4 o’clock to sit together, have a cold one, and talk. They are (guessing) ages 70 and up. Most definitely boomers. They are all Democrats and despise Trump. Not one time have I seen any of them wear a mask here or when they leave to go out. One of them, just got over a bout of throat cancer.

The reason I’m posting this is to show that Democrats are also not following social and mask guidelines.

So judging by my observations, Democrats must not believe in science.

 

Should have sent her away and asked bank to send appraiser with respect for others

 

This is what so many people are missing. Covid impacts stretch way beyond just death for young and old alike

Memory loss, gnarled fingers, panic attacks: COVID-19 didn't kill these Americans, but many might never be the same

 

In generally not confrontational (in person anyways lol) and just wanted to get it over with.

 

The one thing that I have missed most. Lightning Hockey. Just when it was moving in a positive direction.

 

Come on dude. You know it's only Republicans who don't wear masks. It's proven science.

 

Stewardess on flight yesterday from Tampa to Seattle had to threaten guy in first class that he would be moved to rear of plane and not permitted to fly Alaska again if he didn't wear mask. He finally pulled one out and put it on.

 

He likes his job. Boss doesn't want masks and fires or marginalized everyone who disagrees with him

 

Worse than ignorant. Willfully ignorant. One thing to not know the facts. Whole different level to know the facts and choose not to believe them

 

I differ, often makes my wife mad. To paraphrase, all it takes for evil to prosper is for good men to remain silent. Rude and disrespectful people often act that way because nobody calls them out on it.

In Alaska now, very low number of cases, furnace service techs showed up with masks. Higher % people masked here than in Naples

 

Interesting observation.
Are you assuming they are democrats because the despise trump? You don't have to vote D to recognize his idiocy, that should be universal.

 

this is a little off topic, but i do not understand the uproar over people getting fired for writting blm on their masks in stores. they know when they are hired that policy prohibits this, yet they do it anyway, maybe to support the cause, maybe to call attention to themselves, either way they made the conscious choice to disobey company policy, yet want to become martyrs for doing so, break the policy, refuse to change, get fired, simple as that.

 

...and she is asking you not to fly anymore because of your sexist use of the word "stewardess" #ThatsFlightAttendantToYou
