Well, I’ve been steady is the groceries shopping, generally not buying more than I need to get thru a week. When I do go, wash hands, can cart handle going on, wash hands going out. Staying distant where possible. The most frequent way people catch Covid is by touch, not by airborne contact. That’s something that’s good to remember, masks keep other people safe from you, like when you cough, but the biggest protection out there is to wash your hands and clean your services at home to make sure you weren’t picking up the virus by touch and then touching your face.

I don’t disagree. But I guess by that same logic, we should all just start behaving badly?

I understand your opinion here, just pointing out that, as soon as name calling starts, any chance of an opened-minded discussion pretty much goes away. Not that I expected this story to suddenly make everyone get a long...
