    Shit is completely back to normal where I live, with the exception of having to wear masks at a select few businesses. Packed bars and restaurants, live music, whole nine yards. People out here are sick of the narrative changing every other day. If people are worried about corona, they stay home. Most people are out and about though. Seeing friends and neighbors and getting fresh air.

    The biggest problem right now is all the people from out of state driving around aimlessly, bumping into things with their cars and trying to buy real estate.

    Glad you had a light case and are feeling better, but the guy who's behaviors got him infected with COVID-19 is not the dude I'm taking advice from on recreational activities.

    seriously.

    I drove 12 hrs each way from the midwest to the east coast to visit my family over july 4th break and we stayed at home the whole time. We limited rest area trips and packed our food. I haven't been anywhere except for home/work/grocery in the past 6 months. And even work, i've only been going in a few times a week because i can't do certain stuff from home. We have avoided seeing all our elderly fam and are taking zero risks unless they are absolutely unavoidable.

    Then you have people who actually HAVE it walking around and going to movies like shit's all back to normal. Frustrates me to no end. I was involved in our state/company's testing efforts and saw first hand how people were struggling back in March/April/May. Then seeing family and friends deal with it themselves, just gives me a different perspective.

    You'd think a guy who got it because of his stupidity and carelessness wouldn't propagate it and learn his lesson-- guess not.

    I work with a vulnerable population.

    I am thankful every day none of us get this.

    This is real. There is no overreaction to a pandemic.

    Except for my hospital visits I get out of the house about once a week and that's for necessary business such as going to the bank, gas station, grocery store, take out restaurant or wife's medical visits. We sit tight in our house.
    My Blazer rep. came over to my house to deliver a bottle of 50 year commemorative wine but she rang the door bell and then talked to me with a mask on from about 20 feet away. We don't even greet the mailman like we use to. Life is way different for us because of my seriously compromised immune system.

    I tested positive. However, when the nurse called me this morning, she instructed, "You had already tested positive on August 21st, why are you taking the test again? People shouldn't be doing that. The COVID germ will be in your body for up to 3 months, and you'll continue to test positive up to that point. You are NOT contagious, so feel free to go enjoy that movie, go back to work, do anything you'd like while still following state and local restrictions, if any."

    The whole thing is weird.

    Shoot, I'm gonna work on somehow tagging along to Las Vegas with @SlyPokerDog where I KNOW I (and everyone else) will be safe!

    I'm confused on why she assumed you are not contagious. Whether you are or aren't, I prefer you don't shop at the same grocery store that I do.

    I suspect a nurse in a more liberal state would say otherwise

    We're ALL probably around a bunch of contagious folks, and carriers, and don't even know it!

    Positive but not contagious? A red flag should go up when you hear that.

    Red means go, right? GO to the movies, restaurants, work, road trips, parades, family gatherings, etc.?

    That's what Trump says his warriors should do. Damn the red flags, full speed ahead.
