Some people are actually excusing not wearing a mask because they have a very large nose and the mask doesn’t fit properly.
This is pretty stupid. I mean, I still wear underpants.

Fencing is the ultimate COVID-19 sport.
-You wear a mask.
-You wear gloves.
-If someone gets within six feet of you, you're allowed to stab them.

Covid?
I thought that was a general policy.

It really doesn't take much for some people to break the quarantine
Quote:15 people catch COVID-19 after attending cat’s birthday party
Fifteen people contracted COVID-19 in a small Chilean town — after reportedly attending a birthday party for a cat.
It was unclear when exactly the party took place in the exclusive coastal enclave of Santo Domingo, but local media reported that 10 people attended, all of whom became sick.
The other five infected people are reportedly family and friends of the cat’s owner.
The birthday kitty did not contract the disease.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

My husband's cousin is in a bad way with COVID and pneumonia. His wife probably has it too as it's not been tested.
Cousin is a pretty healthy guy. His doctor put off having him come in for testing. He finally ended up at an urgent care clinic that gave him a Zpac and a steroid and sent him home...with the above diagnosis.
He's in South Carolina. Word is that you can only get into an emergency room there via ambulance that may take around three hours to pick you up and then you may lay in the ambulance in the parking lot for another three hours.
I was worried before about my daughter and grandkids out there in the same county. More concerned now. I have seen too many photos of people I know from there who are carrying on like there's no threat. Large gatherings of unmasked people and dining in restaurants that don't look limited as far as capacity goes.

The trouble with elective restrictions, either de jure or de facto, is that there's pretty much always going to be at least some portion of owners who have an existential case to remain open and busy - and a great many of those owners will be in communities in a similar predicament.
They die for the dow and require their employees to charge that pillbox and put their customers in that line of fire, in the larger sense, because it's what they've always done, a relationship that they have always been locked into and upon which their business was premised.

Update on husband's cousin...he's in ICU now. Husband is calling for an update.
This is hard on my husband as he was mostly raised by his great grandmother as was the cousin (who is actually a second cousin so it was his grandmother). They were raised in their early years like brothers, their ages are close enough for them to be siblings.

Its hard to watch a brother suffer. I hope he gets better.

The cousin is being treated with Remdesivir and has low oxygen levels that they can't seem to get stabilized. Since he's already been sick at least a week, I am not surprised by this.
I guess we just wait for updates.
