Default It is dawning on people: Social Distancing does nothing.

We have been locked up in our homes for about 6 weeks now. You would have assumed you would see some dropping of the infections number. But it isn't going down. It is relatively the same. Every day they post from 26K to 33K new cases.

How can anyone think this social distancing is doing anything. Nothing has changed.

It took Italy only 4 weeks to see results.

No sorry testing has been stable for a while now. There is a story on CNN today that they are trying to figure out a way to go past that point but this is the capability they have for now.

I'll keep social distancing, thank you.

It's going down in NY and up in other areas. If everybody would watch, were a mask and respect social distancing it would go down every where.

Except in Michigan they turned there protest into a gun rally. Why did they need to bring assault rifles?

We go out all the time, we go hiking, to visit friends, drives to go exploring and taking pictures. Tomorrow we are doing a 2.5 mile hike around a lake.

In China, they were prisoners. Here? There's lots to do.

Only about 2 percent of people have been tested. We have a long way to go.

Stay Calm. Be Quiet. Muzzle yourself with a mask (even if you are healthy). The "experts" are here to "keep you safe". Now, stand a certain measure apart, follow along at the store with the signs that tell you which way in the "maze" to go, like good little mice. And remember "We're ALL in this together". Ugh.

Absolutely sad and downright frightening.

Numbers here: https://covidtracking.com/data/us-daily

And let's face it, a lot of people are not social distancing.
