California has a low # of cases for its size. I can guarantee they are not socially isolating. It’s just not a California thing.
I was an EMT so luckily I know how to do gloves. I keep alcohol wipes in the car for them and wash my gloved hands with tallow soap when I get home. Then I take them off. I have not heard of surface-to-human transmission. It’s really more of a “make other people feel better” type of thing, especially for workers.
I’m considering open carrying a 38 with a bandana and a cowboy hat
If I have to do this I may as well enjoy myself doing it
I realize this is largely overblown but do know a few people who have had it and for 1 it was a close call, some co workers have lost 1 or more family members as well
I dont get the resistance to masks as they can help stop the spread and I thought common courtesy woudl be appreciated by conservatives.
If you go to Kroger here without a mask, everyone stares at you. If you go to Food Lion with a mask, everyone stares at you.

Change up the names of the stores and this is my experience in 2 counties.
I walk in slowly,observing entering and exiting shoppers. I do the same once inside, as I dutifully sanitize my hands & wipe down cart handles. Then I follow suit.
It’s not just masking/gloving. In the stores w/o masks, people congregate and have conversations and the vibe is light-hearted, including the unmasked cashiers behind their sneeze guards.
This is true in other situations, as well. Some people are terrified and reflexively follow all orders, including, for some reason, totally covering their hair. Others are somewhat wary, keep a distance, but it’s hard to tell if they are observing guidelines or making sure not to stand out too much.
Both places are in WI. One county has no *confirmed* cases, although everyone knows someone who had either a horrid case in January or a light case since. The other county, about 50 miles distant, has 5 confirmed/no deaths.
I think the stats are not all trustworthy.

The stores reek of alcohol sanitizer and bleach. Probably does no harm. But in an isolated household, it fosters OCD tendencies and reinforces fear.
Were we sicker than the pampered snow flake kids of today? Did we develop stronger immune systems? Who is more disease resistant... kids living like we did or kids today? So take all this nonsense and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. If you want to protect yourself with good hygiene as you get older and weaker... it is no doubt a good idea, but this type of coercive BS from people saying everything has to change because an illness that most people don't even get symptoms from is nonsense. Nothing is going to change for most people in most parts of the world.
I’ll wear it in the store, that’s not a problem. The problem is governors who are saying kayaks are ok but motor boats are not - so all of their örders” are met with defiance.
nice touch, you never know who is after your TP.
Agree that that most the restrictions make no sense.
Some of the most nasty places for public and businesses are those that have a vast array of foreigners working/living. They came from filth and unsanitary conditions and will exit a stall without flushing or cleaning hands. Signs are posted in five or more languages to try and educate them. SO, we need to send all the illegals home and have them come back identified one by one and have them understand sanitary process. Maids in hotels cannot even speak English!! I’ve seen them wipe down the bathroom by doing the tub, toilet and then the sink with the same towel!! Yes, I go to Walmart and buy cheap spray for the room and also wipe down the sink handles before using!!! Clean your bath and bedroom in 15 minutes and see how much you get done!!
So, we as Americans can just back up our minds and lives decades since we are a mix that isn’t mixing.
God Help Us!
Does this mean they will make Pooping in the Streets Illegal in San Francisco?
“Block Captain”.
I believe the root word you’re looking for is “Gauleiter”.
I agree completely with your assesment. I may have played in mud and manure as a child, but I still always flushed the toilet, or I would have faced the wrath of my parents.
The basics are easy:
Wear a mask in certain situations
Wash hands with soap and water and after after touching unfamiliar stuff in stores etc
Wear plastic gloves? I am not doing this.
I really think we are going to have to imitate Asian nations and cave into wearing masks more often in urban areas.
Proof?
I think it can happen if someone recently sneezed or coughed on the surface, or on their hand right before touching the surface, and you touch it soon after. The metal doorknobs in public places have antimicrobial properties, so do help protect against that.
During a CCP-19 outbreak you’re a FEAR Bro
