...people wearing masks, walking their dogs on back roads in the middle of nowhere.
________________________________
Panic Induced OCD.

People masked and gloved in their cars alone.

People with googles, masks, raincoats and shower caps scuttling along close to the shelves in the grocery stores, eyes wide in terror as they see those of us unencumbered.

Cashiers masked and gloved, but stockers not.

People isolated in their homes who go out once every 2 weeks, then scrub every surface when scrubbing is not essential if you spritz with alcohol, then they re-clean every few hours even though no one else has entered nor has any package entered.

Meanwhile, when (if) these folks finally emerge, they are in a weakened immune state and susceptible to whatever mutation of all the viruses in existence has occurred.

Summer is almost here. It will be hot outside, the perfect atmosphere to kill the virus. But the panicked will stay indoors with their a/c running, recirculating whatever is already in the space, afraid to open windows or go outside and get some Vit D.

As my neighbors say:”It’s so crazy.”

...no worse type of businesses to open at this time.

Please reevaluate your concerns. You are free to stay isolated and avoid whatever you are avoiding. Let everyone else also make their own choices.

Really, so she comes to work sick? And then where’s a mask, no thank you

She is a sole practitioner. If she doesn’t work, she doesn’t eat. She is showing the exact same consideration that anyone who is masked for COVID19 shows today.

Masks protect others, not the wearer.

I’ve gone to her for nearly 60 years. Her home and shop are spotless. Neither my husband or I have ever caught a thing. We know her entire extended family and they are all healthy, considerate, decent and clean.

It's virtue signalling - you should see the karens complaining on Nextdoor because they have to breathe the exhale of non-masked runners and bikers who have passed the karens who are walking. (I am not making this up)

I second that 1000%. I have seen it as well. The hysteria is palpable.

I went to the bank to deposit some checks at the ATM. There were 2 police units parked in the area due to vandalism and burglaries. The police were lounging about talking to each other, no masks. I guess their uniforms make them immune.

Across the street a homeless guy was singing and ranting as he laid across the sidewalk. They are exempt. This is just a snapshot of the SF outer districts as the Karen's virtue signal to whomever will listen. They have no concept of what is going on and will willingly line up at the train station for the next boxcar.

Give me a break, nobody “has” to go to work sick, so she has strep throat and she comes into work cause she’s gotta eat?

Done replying, later

More like a slight cold, actually.

But go away if you want, that’s fine.
