Memorial Day Weekend Ribs were delicious. We made a nice sangria. Spent the evening with family/friends, and fed the neighbors dog a bone (or two).
I don't think you are a bad person. I just think we are very different people. And that is ok! No one around me wears a mask. We live in Duck Dynasty land. Maybe that is different from where you live. We don't think warm moist cotton on your face stops viruses in or out.
We just do the boring everyday basics. Wash your hands. Spend time in the sun. Take care of your immune system. Eat good veggies. When in doubt Lysol or Bleach it. And work hard!
Same stuff normal people have always done to live through rhino viruses, corona viruses and influenza. :)
Sounds like a nice night. I made my kids spaghetti...wife had to work. She works for Target, they gave her a hazard pay raise at the start of all this which put her income equalling mine...as a nurse. When daycares and schools closed, then mother in law said she wanted to quarantine and we were relying on her for a lot of watching the kids, i decided i'd be a stay at home dad until i found a higher paying job.
Anyway, https://masksnow.org/million-healthcare-workers-letter/ to continue the topic. It's not political to wear a mask right now. And i'm not going to keep harping on it. Like everyone on here, we want to MAGA. It's about not letting big government steal our freedoms, reopen the country, and try to keep in mind there is a pandemic going around and we don't want lives being lost, or even just people getting ill, when it can be avoided.
I want people to get together with their family and BBQ this weekend, and I want us all to be as reasonably safe and healthy while doing it.
OK. But keep in mind, in the US, 50,000-80,000 people die from plain 'ol influenza and pneumonia each year. In a country of 330,000,000 people... viruses are NOT our biggest health threat. Not even close.
If you want to save lives, start conversations about heart disease. Seriously! :)

You're not wrong about most that. Covid is a little worse than regular flu. A little more communicable, a little more deadly. It spread around the globe quick, there's a lot of weird stuff about it, it may end up starting ww3, and there's a whole bunch of sheeple in our country who are ignorant and scared shitless because of this.
So people look for answers, for anything proactive we can do to help. What we don't need is more arguments among us. What are actual reasonable steps we should take right now? Shut down the economy? Hell no. Sacrifice our civil liberties? Never. Be a mature people and collectively say okay to doing some small changes in our personal hygiene habits? Yes. Wash your hands. Wear a mask in crowds. It will help with this and lower the cold/flu rate if we just keep doing it. Most of the Asian world does. It's not a sacrifice to think more proactively about pandemics. The next one could be way worse, and if we are to get through it it's collectively working as a people on stuff to combat it.
Now, people are taking mask wearing to ridiculous extremes with legislating it and recommending it, as the page i last linked suggested, anytime outside of the home. But crowded spaces, we should just already do that for the most part when practical. Be mature, be reasonable.
Longish rant, hope you were able to follow along with it.
