Wait! You mean it's over? No one told Me!

Gone, huh? Apparently no one told the virus it was gone here in FL. Last two days have each seen additional 4,100+ new cases.

Not everyone is terrorized by this virus. Who are "They" ? Are you talking about the government? The government is not doing enough to keep people safe? What do you want them to do? Come padlock everyone's house so no one can get out? Put people in prison for not wearing masks? Close every business under the sun? Put glass bubbles on everyone and make it mandatory to wear them?

Talk about hollerin like babies! Yes, some people don't like wearing masks. People ARE getting fed up with punitive measures with no end in sight. How much of the economy do you want to wreck before you feel "safe" enough?

Right now, there is choice on where you can go, and what you can still do. If you see people not wearing masks, and this scares you, don't go there. I can see it coming that we have no choice at all on how we behave, what we can wear, where we can go. All because of a virus.

That scares me.

I don't recall saying anything about wrecking any economy so I myself could feel safe. This isn't just about me so there's no need to get all wound up. And it's the ones that are runnin around actin like everything's fine that are spreadin this. I completely understand that the general public is fed up with living like this. If you want to go out without a mask and risk dyin go ahead. But don't expect me or others like me to be agreeable to it. That's all I'm sayin.

Not many people are terrified by the virus, I am not. But people are worried about non compliant virus carrying people. Maybe, if we could tag the non mask wearing virus carrying people then the non virus carrying mask wearing people could avoid them, and not worry.

You know, like stolen bank money, spray the people with the virus orange, a familiar color for danger. Like the somewhat orange colored person who has access to the nuclear codes which does terrify me. Plus the non mask wearers, who dont believe in the virus, should be required to care for the sick and dying. Since they are so sure they will be fine.

In the USA fines for not wearing masks will work. Start off with 500, then double it, double it again, and on and on. You must pay for the right not to wear a mask, and pay a lot.

Non mask wearing people DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT to endanger my health or the health of my disabled children, grandchildren, or great grandchildren. IMO. @Uptosnuff. Non mask working people (except for medical reasons) are selfish critters, self absorbed, and an endangered species-like the dinosaurs. Is ice dangerous? Hmm.

The fines aren't nearly high enough. I think if it affected people's pockets a little more they would mask up.

And that's another thing, why should some of us have to give up the right to go somewhere so others can run around freely without masks? How do you see that as fair? That's the same thing as making us stay padlocked in our homes. We're supposed to do that for you? Because you can't handle walkin around with a little material over your craw? You have to look at both sides of this before you get all judgmental with people.

Yep! Same here. I went to Planet Fitness several times a week before Covid. They are now reopened and you would think that all is normal. Most gyms are germ-breeders under the best of circumstances. I used to watch, mostly men, sorry to say guys, not wiping down the equipment as required after using it. I would wipe before and after because they didn't. Needless to say, I haven't returned since the reopening.
I just heard from our Senior Center that activities are resuming mid November. I teach dance there and I am back on the schedule. I am not happy about this. Cases are soaring in NC. Now I am supposed to talk, dance and sweat with a class of other dancers? Everyone is so happy about going back. I am not.

Linda,

I had to write you. If you recall, I told you of our senior center opening the gym, aerobics floor and exercise area, much like what your center is doing. I talked with an employee of that same senior center today and was told the center is now closed again. A member was found to have contracted Covid 19 and exposed the building, employees and quest to the virus. Not good news, but I thought I would share since we discussed the subject.

Yikes! One senior center was doing outside activities and found that someone had Covid. They stopped for 2 weeks now have resumed outdoors but will open indoors in November also. I think we are rushing it for seniors but I guess everyone will make that decision for themselves based on their health.

I share in your concerns. Our senior center is doing the same thing. The social area, including the area where the pool tables are located is closed, but the gym and exercise areas will be open. I have trouble following that logic.

Me, too.
