I see the poll about how long people would abide with social distancing rules has been deleted. Pity.

people are entitled to their own opinions, the social distancing seems a little unnecessary I am not convinced it actually works

Also I don't everyone should be forced to social distance, that should only apply to the elderly, and those who are vulnerable

The only reason it seems unnecessary to you now is because it *is* working.

What would it take to convince you?

Countries practicing social distancing have much lower death rates than those that aren't. Look at Sweden: no social distancing and around twice the death rate of their neighboring countries.

I don't think people are following it very well to as far as not at all in small to medium size areas.

I don't need to be told to avoid humans. That's how I roll.

It would be nice if I could reopen the bulk of my business though. Thank goodness cyber crime is up. It's keeping some money coming in.

I'm a security/loss prevention consultant. Not a cyber criminal. Just for the record.

Until May 3 if things don't get worse than they are now. If they do get worse who knows, I'll be unemployed and have nowhere to go anyway. While I'll LISTEN to the governor I'll make up my own mind in the end.

Government is like a wild unpredictable child: you monitor with skepticism, keep on your toes, sometimes they are good/cute, but most of the time they'll slit your throat without thinking twice.

Makes life interesting.

I have COPD and even getting the flu or pneumonia will do me in, and Covid-19 will only make it quicker, but I just turned 70, have always been fearless, and I'll continue to be fearless.

I refuse to give in to fear, worry, panic as those are ingredients to weaken your immune system.
