We should had told the elderly (anyone above the age of 65) and other people in high risk groups to mask up 😷 and to socially distance.

Maybe SUGGESTED would be a better statement.
I am well over 65 (in ‘fact’ I got an ID ‘saying’ I am 63 when they had suggested ‘house arrest’ for all over 65) and continue working everyday, going about my normal routines as to shopping etal, don’t wear a mask (do have a viable reason not too BUT would probably rebel against it anyway) have ‘always’ practiced distancing- IT used to be called “ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOR” if one wanted to keep all at ARMS length.
If we are going to do this, lets do it right...DEMAND masks be disposed of like the Doctors & Nurses do (That is what ‘they’ tell us ...’masks must be good Drs and Nurses wear them - then give that know it all smirk ..of course when you point out HOW the Drs & Nurses handle them you get the blank stare)
Maybe some entrepreneur can come up with a 6 foot style hula hoop that we can all wear-THAT will keep you 6 foot apart don’t worry, all the doors and aisles can be adjusted (I BETTER NOT GIVE THEM ANY IDEAS)
I agree with you, suggested would be the better statement here. Everyone should be free to make their own decisions. That said, the actions of our government is just prolonging the “pandemic”. Look at California right now. They’ve been locked up for so long now they are getting overwhelmed with their medical system now that the virus is finally establishing a foothold in their population.
