    Fucking A. The Raleigh NC newspaper had a picture of a mob outside a local Home Depot. The store is managing the number of people inside and where you stand, but they are doing nothing about 6 feet rule outside their doors. Typical American unexceptionalism.

    As for the question, I am seeing a lot more people with masks, but still not 75%. People are staying home to a degree. Attached is a link that looks at cell phone data to determine how habits have changed. Probably not perfect, but yet another indication. NC gets a D- and my county, Craven, gets a straight D.

    I am in that boat, or at least I have co-morbidities. I feel like I am just waiting around to die. What pisses me off the most is that you get no credit for past performance. I can social distance, stay home, wash hands like crazy for six months, then, slip up, get infected and there you go, after six months of shit.

    No one said there was no risk.

    What "I" said, was that if you are 55 and younger, it has a death rate equal to the normal seasonal flu, in which, babies and kids can die as well.

    Again, what is your point? lol

    You showed statistics that are inaccurate. Your data is flawed.

    You haven't provided any data. The one from New Orleans was never tested? Even if it was off by 100, what I said was still factual.

    You are effectively arguing with me over which shade of blue the sky is. Doesnt matter. Its blue.

    With regards to the data. You can add 100 infant deaths to the totals and it wouldn't move the needle into the same danger range as those 59 and older.

    You are correct. There will be no "normal" till a vaccine is widely available. This is why sports WILL be sidelined including anything communal until a vaccine arrives. The curve will drop over the summer, but that will serve as a false positive for many till it returns stronger. Until there is a vaccine, we are staring down COVID-20. That's a fact.

    Your misguided internal fear of wearing a mask only exhist out of fear that sooner babe might find you attractive with one on. Don't manifest a falsehood onto others because your maternal social skills lack evidence for a positive encounter. o_O
