Let the healthy people deal with it and protect the weak. Instead we have acted like everyone is going to die and gone scared and just hoped it went away. And then we sit inside and weaken our immune system.

Or we can just act like we are in East Berlin and hope for the best.
I don't believe there is any evidence that wearing a mask, social distancing, or working from home weakens the immune system. Where did you pick that idea up from?

The drive-in in Wellfleet, on Cape Cod, continues to this day. They will do good business this summer, I bet.

Inactivity certainly does. I don't really understand where the proof of Social Distancing was established though. Masks are quite a bit more complex than is presented on the internet for the last 2 weeks.

Just linking now since I only today came across this. I think all of these articles and claims about things that most people have likely never heard of need serious vetting.

Solid drop in hospitalizations. 4% hospitalization rate now. 9% positivity rate on testing. Several days of net -100 or so hospitalizations.

As someone who grew up with strict-ish parents, a parent would have been in that front seat, so still better. Although to be fair, 17 year old me wasn't going on any dates anywhere with anyone.

The 50” Panasonic plasmas have lasted 10 years and one of them has power supply buzz. It took that long for OLED to catch up and the price to drop.
OLED is pretty amazing. You can get a 55" for under $1000 if you time it just right. The last movie I saw in the theatre was in 2005, so I would even put home theatre > movie theatre >> drive in.

Nope I don't. Even everyone's new hero Fauci as said masks are pointless. One month ago masks were unnecessary and now they are.

Cloth masks don't do anything but make you feel safer. If you feel safer good for you. I'm not stopping you from wearing one, but I'm not.

FYI, the 311 calls from the Boston area are hilarious.
