They remain a serious threat to public health, at this time.
How did Newsom overlook the dog parks ?
I very much disagree about the protests, and felt that way even back when the protests were right wing 'open up' protests. I criticized bringing guns and Confederate flags and partisan campaign paraphernalia and definitely the apparent attitudes of so many of those protestors flaunting their disregard of wearing masks in the face of police as well as their knucklehead buddies...but not "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
Even in a time of pandemic.
And I'm similarly critical of those who have not worn masks, especially as they yell in the faces of police, in these protests for racial justice. The big difference, of course, being that not wearing masks is not being used as itself a protest, just people too preoccupied with their emotions to care enough about others' health. But way, way higher % of these protestors are wearing masks.
Personally, I think wearing masks in public should be mandated during the pandemic, not optional. A fine. Like driving over the speed limit, it's really about the endangerment of others more than oneself.
"leaving my house" ?
You mean not going off my property? I've done so 3 times in 3 months.
Wife has usually been the designated 'shopper' once a week, deliveries otherwise.
Have I said otherwise?
I'm looking forward to doing more, but we're fortunate to not have the same challenges many do.
Meanwhile, we've begun having a couple of guests at a time for a 'distanced' evening libation on our patio. Our friends and my mom's (who lives with us) are mostly in the 'at risk' age zone, so we try to keep it reasonably safe, yet do have some social interaction. super important to my mom, and it's definitely improved my spirits...and level of conversation!
