Read this article about why cases are spiking in Sacramento, an area that has done a good job of keeping the virus under control. Large gatherings inside homes are an issue, especially when older, more vulnerable, people are spending hours with younger (maybe asymptomatic) people.

Plenty of us are not okay with either. But I can only control myself. |
It takes unbelievable arrogance for any official to require social distancing after the past two weeks.
If you like your distance you can keep your distance as I am. |
But can’t the same be said of large protests? |
Amazing how many people want the protest stopped on the grounds that people will die, but will not take any steps to end the police brutality killing black people and thus, causing the protests. |
Yeah, things have opened up and are going great in places like Arizona! Oh wait... https://abcnews.go.com/Health/ominous-sign-arizona-sees-bounce-back-covid-19/story?id=71154842 |
Those are a risk, but less of one because they are outside. Inside, long duration, close contact, no masks --->high risk |
Sorry, meant to say there is now a sharp increase in cases in Arkansas. |
A friend in Dallas posted similar photos, not dinner, but a large gathering, at least 20 people, all inside my friend's house, lounging on couches together. It just seemed odd to see it, even though I know Texas has opened up. |
I was at Wild wood in Bethesda yesterday and three friends (in the 60s-70s) were eating lunch outside together. Idiots. |
Animal Farm! |
Right. This is the argument from a lot of people in the area. If we aren’t willing to get together in a large group while a pandemic is going on then we don’t care about police brutality. The level of enragement from entitled healthy liberal friends who are all getting their full paycheck while teleworking is astounding to me. I’ve been called a racist because I’ve said I am staying home and avoiding all people at the moment because I can also telework. Attitudes like yours are hurting your cause. Don’t attack others that do not agree with your choices and have a different opinion. No one is mandated to go to protests, now or ever. |
It is not the United States of DCUM! Many states, who never had your Covid numbers are opening up. Plenty of us do NOT work for the federal government and don’t have the luxury of working from home for the next few months. This might be an unbelievable thought, but when your company reopens on June 8, your choice is to go or to quit. People are living under a freaking rock! |
Dr. Fauci said he'd go to a restaurant with outdoor seating and tables set apart. Being outside helps a lot. |
