How things are going in your area?

I am in the state of Maine where people have been largely compliant about social distancing and wearing masks, but a few churches have held services or weddings that involved larger gatherings of people and these events caused several outbreaks. Up until then, the number of cases was remarkably low. But Maine has been cautious. Most restaurants continue to be closed for indoor dining although they will offer takeout in many cases. Stores are open but no one is allowed in without a mask, and in some cases, the number of people inside at any given time is limited so as to maintain social distancing. And if your phone in order, they will pack it up for you and deliver it to your car. Both department stores like Walmart and supermarkets like Hannaford are practicing this kind of shopping experience. It's a big state, so there is no overall rule for school attendance. That's determined by the district, although I think most schools are working in person most of the time.

However, the rest of the United States is deeply divided, with many people convinced that COVID-19 is a hoax. It is sad that something as serious as the pandemic has become so politicized that people actually take sides and reject facts. You can read about that elsewhere in this forum today.

I'm glad that you're doing your part to be safe to yourself and to others. Not all people will do the same thing nowadays.
I guess it will never be easy to change people's perspectives, especially during this pandemic. There will always be conspiracies and people who support it. I just wish that this pandemic will end and that vaccines will do its job once it comes available.

The whole "pandemic" is a joke. At first I thought I was too outside of it because I never lost my job and I'm a severe shut in so I never fell for the outside meme. All I need to be open Is the supermarket and the gas station. Then I caught covid and fellas I gotta say this has to be the most pussy ass virus to start a pandemic ever. All I did was hang around the house mildly uncomfortable for a week in quarintine. Didnt even have trouble breathing. What a joke. To hear other people tell it the country is broken and nothing is open and we destroyed how many lives and businesses for something this tame? Beyond that Europe seems like it's just using this as an excuse to step on its citizens from what I've heard. The entire world government is on some serious retard pills rn.

The virus affects people differently. Sometimes it's a mild cold, other times you can't even breath. Some people don't even exhibit any of the symptoms despite being a carrier.

Consider yourself lucky.

A mainah? I lived in Sanford, Shitteford and Old Orchard Bitch for a few years. Never saw a more starkly contrasted population of white people. Half are on needles junkies, the other half are a bunch of self-righteous tawdry try hards. I was there for the first 5 months of the pandy and barely anyone wore masks. Hell, I didn't even get a mask till I was given one in Connecticut. Everyone had a mask on in CT.

Anyway, don't worry guys! The election is over. So Corona can go away now. It did it's job.
