haven't been in a grocery store yet either. lately every time i go to pick up my order i'm the only car there waiting.
shrug.
less waiting time as i sit there and think: i hope everyone in that store has their damn mask on.

dawg day
(7,947 posts)And walking with a friend, always masked, and we don't look at each other and walk 6 feet apart.
Otherwise, not much outside the house.
I have learned something about myself. I have floppy ears-- you know, like a beagle. When I use those mask with earloops, my ears just kind of collapse, and the loops come off.

(2,196 posts)I probably don't have a whole lot of years left but I intend to stay put for the foreseeable future... No need for movies or eating out or any of the other dangerous(at this time) activities..

(45,806 posts)week & everyone there had a mask, and aisles are one way. There are sani wipes as you go into the store & an employee is wiping off he cart handle before they offer it to you. It seems pretty safe to me. As much as I want to go out for dinner, I'm waiting. Our open restaurants all have limited capacity & some have patio service but I'm sill leery. I just read an article today that found contaminated droplets just from talking stay suspended in the air for 8 minutes. LOUD TALKING is much higher. I'm gonna keep house bound for a lot longer.

That has not changed as far as I can tell. That's all one needs to know about it in order to decide to be collateral damage for the Republican Death Cult.
When it is all clear, so to speak, we will know. There will be no question about it. The numbers will consistently fall. We don't know when that will be, but ignoring the data and facts about it will mostly likely extend the time frame for exposure.
At this rate, anywhere from one to two years of spikes and waves is possible.
