That is unacceptable which is why we are distancing.
Well at least the responsible and empathetic folks are. We never had the benefit of getting the masses tested due to a sociopathic administration and really dumbed down and/or corrupted representation so no choice but to take personal responsibility and to be frank about how this financial shockwave resulting from the crisis is the result of unregulated unchecked and predatory capitalism. The chickens have come home to roost.

Not here but it seems like people on FB seem to enjoy this. The unknown, not having to go to work.

On another note, do you agree closing down the border early on did help it not spread as fast.
People are working, just not in the way some want them to be working.
