Phase I, reopening ?

Yesterday at a rest stop on the Jersey Turnpike, I watched a woman come out of the bathroom stall and walk out without washing her hands. It must of been okay since she had plastic gloves on.

We had a man pick up dog food last week and he had flip flops on. His toenails were painted blue.I see men getting their feet done all the time - thought it was odd at first, but I guess it makes as much sense for your gender as much as it does for mine. Except ours look prettier.
Alrighty then! A first for all of us!

I think most of the spread of Corona virus is due to stuff like that, just like the flu. You wouldn't believe how often I see someone coming out of a bathroom stall at work after shitting and not washing their hands, mechanics, engineers, supervisors and even officers.
Several years ago we had half our branch sick, we made it easy for everyone to wash and sanatize their hands and the number of ppl on sick leave went way down.
Ferengi?
I'm a hyooooge fan of the portable wash station. They had them all over Gruene at the start of the shutdowns and I was so happy. They removed them once all the stores/bars/restaurants closed, but I didn't notice when we rolled through Saturday if they put them back.
I'm a hand washer - after I eat, after I smoke, after I go bafroom, when I cook, when it's hot and sweaty.....sanitizer can suck it, but I love a good wash up with nice soap.

I wash my hands a lot too, not from fear of virus or bacteria but because I think people are gross in general. I've never had the flu and hardly ever am sick, I am on course to retire with over a year of sick leave on the books.
Yep I am not wearing a mask at the mostly deserted Royal Farms @ 430 AM at National Harbor

Lookie here: There will be X amount of people who are going to die from this virus, wearing a mask, or nor wearing a mask, period. Dragging it out over time will not change the total number of deaths. People who are most vulnerable should be isolated as long as possible in hopes of a cure, [which by the way will absolutely never happen], or vaccine. However we are still waiting for a 100% effective common cold, HIV, and flu, vaccines, and we see how well those have turned out. Speaking of vaccines ... Synthetic injections aren't effective, and these have monkey parts, aborted baby parts, heavy metals and live viruses, thus reinfecting said person, while, (living a healthy lifestyle), and naturally boosting your immune system is way more effective. The first one that wants to chance it, (when a vaccine should show up), should step up for the, 'rushed to market, unproven, tainted, poison'.

The biggest political ruse of our time has now spiraled so far out of control that it has become almost impossible to distinguish fact from deception. Every day we are besieged with such a selective and biased artillery of “scientific” assertions that it makes a mockery of expert insight.
Every day we are subjected to yet more bite sized epidemiology that gives an utterly false impression of risk. And every day we are bombarded with terrifying death figures so out of context that they are effectively meaningless. But instead of calling out the talking heads, government dictator wannabes, doctors, nurses, experts looking for TV face time, un-elected "health" administrators, and their constructed hyper reality ~ there are those, severely lacking in critical thinking skills, liberal bubble heads, that are busy getting high on confected confusion chastising those that simply question the lack of consistency, question the virus, question the mandating of wearing a mask, question the made up authority to shut down and lock down the lives of millions of people, as well as those that choose to live a free life. As I said before. The virus, (whatever kind), it is a corona virus though, just like the cold, and flu, is caused by a corona virus, may not be a hoax, but the government response sure is.

Altruistic? You really believe those in government, those that are elected, and those the surround the ones that control purse stings, are altruistic? "Holy crap Batman!" "Well Robin? We're here to fight crime, not stupidity."

I'm more concerned about the filthy, germ infested gas pump handle and was long before this corona started. I always kept wipes in the car to wipe my hands off. The handle makes my hand stink. Why wear a mask at the gas pump. Mine gets pulled off as soon as I get out of the store. Why have it on in the parking lot. I try to get in and out of the store as fast as I possibly can because I can't stand wearing it. I know I argue on here about the seriousness of the virus but I'm not Ms. Paranoid putting a mask on before I leave the house.

This is one thing we can agree on.
you sure that was polish and not fungus
the easiest way to sanitize the handle is to use a lighter, run the flame over it a few times and it's sterile.
But, Mitzi, isn't every illness or injury serious? Isn't cancer serious? Diabetes? Aren't car accidents serious? And yet we don't do anything special to try and curtail them. We certainly don't shutter businesses and force people to stay inside their homes. Our response to diabetes and heart disease (the #1 cause of death in the US, btw) is to make a freaking fried chicken sandwich on a glazed donut.
I'm not trying to bust on you - really, I'm not - I'm just frustrated with the lack of common sense and hysterical knee-jerking we and our elected officials are engaging in. I'm frustrated by the media feeding the hysteria for viewership, and I'm seriously annoyed by all the designer masks that are cutesypoo but don't do anything to prevent a virus.
