Hi,
Makes me mad also to see people not wearing masks. My idea of staying in is going to 3 weekly gym classes, stores (mostly food),
bank and post office twice a week for my daughters business PO Box, and visiting a select few friends. Believe me pre Covid there was rarely a day I was home so this is my idea of a mini lockdown.My daughter gets tested every 2 weeks now as it is mandated. She is having my son in law tested tomorrow because they don’t do that in the sheriffs department. She had my granddaughter tested because she is out and about at times and she is okay.

My son, daughter in law and 2 grandsons who are in Orlando are being tested Sunday because they have been hearing of friends in their circle who are getting sick. My son closed down his office again...he was only letting a few in at a time and he mostly works from home now. My other grandson in Orlando has been going to in person art classes...finished his online classes and is looking for part time work. They mandated masks in Orlando before we did. He is good about not going out too much. Our governor still won’t mandate masks statewide...he is a Republican and very political so the individual counties and cities are doing it.

Going to try to get back to the 2.5 mile walk tomorrow.
Glad you are okay and I, so far, feel very good and have more energy these past few days for some reason despite the heat.

I don’t think anyone would mind this joke....Do you know why the President doesn’t need glasses? He has 2020.

@lioness and @imallears, I am glad that both your states are now making a simple facial covering mandatory. How I wish that would be the case in TX! An older friend from New Mexico says people there are traveling here to eat out and for entertainment. Her gov. or mayor? has recently lifted the restriction on restaurant in-dining with partial capacity and she and two friends have dined out twice. Next day, a much younger friend called from her small Oklahoma town in which there is a large meat packing plant. She reported that her town of 10,000 was listed as 3rd in the state for virus diagnoses but that she and her hubby have observed Covid guideline since the outset. Their closest larger city for shopping and docs is nearby Amarillo, TX where there has been a large upsurge in virus numbers, primarily due to a large Tyson meat packing company.

I think most of us were hoping that the summer would see a slow down in the numbers and spread of the pandemic; guess we were hoping for a slight reprieve before the onslaught of this year's fall flue season combined with Covid. Simple steps that all could take but continue to ignore prolongs the spread and guarantees more illness from this deadly virus. I am both deeply angered and bewildered by those who defy reason by continuing to flaunt their own and their loved ones safety.
