Post election Covid news

Now people think it is Patriotic to not wear a mask.
Endangering your fellow American is somehow considered Patriotic.

I don't get that feeling from what I see and read. I personally don't like wearing masks and I doubt anyone really does. But I think most all see the point of it. What upsets people, imho, is the disparate treatment via state and local government edict. Closing small stores while allowing big box retailers to stay open and increase profits exponentionally.

Arresting a restaurant/bar owner in NY for disregarding a closure notice while literally 1.5 blocks away the same type businesses are allowed to be open. Not to mention all the dumb ass politicians breaking their own rules and getting caught.....

A line has to be drawn somewhere... Its either that or do the entire city... Not to mention all the dumb ass politicians breaking their own rules and getting caught..... Complete asses. Agreed

Not sure how to handle areas that have intensive community infections...
I do think they need to do something...
I do agree that it sucks that quite literally you can be closed and a guy across the street opened...

I do think that most businesses and schools can be open if people wear mask and reduce capacity if needed...
I have trouble thinking that bars should be open unless you limit capacity...
Drunk people and following guidelines don't go hand in hand.

True on both counts.

I think this pretty well nailed it. My thoughts exactly.

Exactly, Kel. That's the kick in the nuts with this, particularly on the local level. We have so-called leaders that don't lead. If they can't lead by example they have no right to arbitrarily crush people's livelihoods.
