    I just watched the briefing from today.
    Pence has really picked up the pace, before long he will lie as much as his boss.

    This is a disgrace.

    Uh OH, we have a picture of eight people not wearing a mask, that proves they are voting for trump and must be idiots. The extent that leftys, facts be damned go to.... It's no wonder we have the government we have. I'll bet his chit stinks too. Stupididy abounds but thats Trumps fault too I suppose.

    If not for yourself Ben, then please give thought to those who would care for you if you do become infected. Anyone who gets this puts the caregivers at greater risk.

    From this morning's WSJ:

    Coronavirus cases surged in the U.S., setting a new daily high for the second straight day, as some states and cities that had reopened introduced new restrictions.

    The U.S. recorded more than 45,000 cases Friday, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. The tally was significantly higher than the 39,972 cases reported Thursday, a record at the time. The previous high of 36,291 daily cases was recorded in late April.

    Florida, Texas, California and Arizona have accounted for much of the recent surge in cases, prompting authorities to impose some new restrictions in those states.

    Texas and Florida, which had been among the last states to shut down and among the earliest to reopen, took steps to keep people at home. Florida imposed new restrictions on bars, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott closed down bars across the state as Houston issued a stay-at-home order.

    I'm aware of the possibilities and the implications, Dave, and your concern has roots in logic...I haven't just thrown caution to the winds though; I take some precautions and avoid crowds where possible...But I'm not going to turn life off just to be the last man standing......Ben

    If turning your life over to the Command & Control Freaks is your solution, then Joe Biden is your man —

    “...I would insist that everybody in public be wearing that masks," Biden continued. "I would do everything possible to make it required that people have to wear masks in public...

    Of course this bit is just the merest glimpse of the Commands & Controls they have waiting for us. Check below at my signature for who these people are.

    If you don't want to wear a mask in public it is fine with me because I will be wearing one to protect myself. However, don't be taking up hospital space that is needed for things other than Covid victims who refuse to even try to protect themselves. It shouldn't be rocket science to understand that a mask may prevent infection.

    Had three people coming last night to the store. Told them they needed a mask to be in the store.

    Guy claimed he had a medical condition, I explained that without a mask they were not to be in the store. Now why the wife and son weren't wearing one, never found that out either. Guy claimed he had more money than all the stuff in the store and that I was an idiot for not allowing him to shop in there, among a few curse words. Now As he was well over the 350 lbs to say he might have a condition might be an understatement, but he's more at risk than I am.

    Sometimes you hope they get it just so they can understand that if a mask helps prevent it it's a small price to pay. Yet I don't wish this on anyone.

    We are seeing the results of opening too soon and not many safeguards in place to prevent the overflow like NYC had. It appears we are one of the world's hot spots along with TX, and FL.

    Just for the record when we opened we were requiring face masks more to protect us from those that might have it. Lost business because of that, maybe some may come back or not either way it's a tough decision to stay or close the doors and just do retirement. Most days it 50-50.

    It has nothing to do with being guided by freaks Joe, it has everything to do with being sensible and consideret of others.
    If I had any inkling of following a freak I'd go get a red cap and become one of trump's cult.
