what about all the people that are losing everything....because their source of income was cut off?

...news isn't reporting that at all

[carnivalday]

The city Im near in FL is hustling and bustling. Crazy traffic is back, people are back in stores and restaurants. The individual stores and restaurants can require face masks, and most do. But once you are outside, no, face masks arent required. Thank god we have a Governor like Desantis that thinks with his own brain and is doing was best for Florida. God we're so lucky.

Does he want Floridians to die?
Of course not, but he chose his loyalty to the Trump Administration and marching orders from Rick Scott. For all three of them, the lives of Floridians are absolutley 100% expendable to score October points.

Of course I do. I want people to breathe fully and help keep their immune system up. I want to see people smile at each other and socialize like we are meant to again. I want people to be counted as individuals rather than being treated as a collective blob which we become when hiding behind a face cover. I want a good economy that can be utilized to its fullest potential. Disney World for example is best when it is at 100% operational capacity. Lots of people enjoying their time being there without worry. Full staff of employees making time and wages. Its a full cycle of what life is about. Not being in a bunker or wearing hiding behind cloth. That is not life.

This leftie is so over the pandemic already and is looking forward to seeing it get so small it can be drowned on a bath tub, to crib from an infamous conservative lobbyist. And getting increasingly cranky at the anti-maskers because there's growing anecdotal data suggesting that they actually do really cut the spread rate. Despite tight quarters, the covid infection rate for flight attendants is now lower than the known rate in the general population, and air travel has long been a germ breeding ground.

So masks are cheap enough that stores give them away for free, they seem to be more effective than the costly hygiene theater of businesses cleaning all the things every night, which now seems to be not a primary disease transmissions method, and there are enough indicators that pretty much all big retail businesses require them for both employees and customers alike.

So why do the anti-maskers hate America so much they're unwiling to try something that will actually minimize economic damage during a global heath crisis but instead do things that will male this all drag out even longer and make full economic recovery harder?

Answer: No

However, in the grand scheme of things, we’re all going to die at some point. Don’t make this issue about caring for others, of course we all do. But to the alarmists that are so concerned, remain in your cocoon —guess you’re happy as long as you continue to get economic stimulus checks.

We need to start living—wear a mask if you need to or want to—keep washing your hands and being careful around crowds. But for the vast majority of us, we need to live, not just exist.

Thank God for our governor. We dodged a bullet with his election win, otherwise we could have wound up with meth head Andrew Gillum.

[beachmouse]

I'm still mad at Bernie Sanders for shoving Gillum down our throats in a three way primary. By far the best pick for governor in 2018 was Gwen Graham.

60% of businesses say they're closing permanently because of the shut downs. And to keep shut downs in place will cause more businesses to close permanently and cause more job losses.

If you want to wear a mask, then wear a mask. Don't force other people to wear one

[banksock]

You can wear your mask on and anyone else who feels the same. Some point we have to put our big boy pants on and live our life. We can't be shut down forever with restrictions. People need to make a livelihood


New Jersey we had a long lock down and the governor finally allowed outdoor dining and 25 percent capacity for indoor dining. Businesses around here are dropping like flies. A small bar closed down this weekend because of the social distancing limited seating and small parking they have.


I had to postpone my certification test a few times because of the lockdown.
