65% of the deaths in this state are of people in managed care facilities, so I guess it is because people in democratic states live long enough to end up there.

I came out of the grocery store with my mask on and pushed my cart to my car, still wearing my mask. A woman was getting out of her car with no mask on. She says, "Let me guess - you're a liberal. You know that mask don't do anything for you except make you look stupid ." I said "I'm no liberal, I woke up with a temperature of 102 this morning(not true) and I’m waiting on my COVID test results (also not true). So this is for your protection, not mine. How about I take it off and we hug like old friends?" I took off my mask, stepped toward her and she stepped back away from me and went across to the next row of cars. I followed her, she kept walking away. She walked faster... I walked faster just as I was about to break into a run to catch up to her I fell down. While looking back at me she had bumped broadside into a big pickup truck fender and so I fell right at her feet. I grabbed her foot. I pulled on her leg, just as I’m pulling yours.

I laughed the other day at work, common sense is dead. I'm currently working in a building under construction, the site managers made mask wearing mandatory in common areas and when around others. This building is basically divided into three large sections. I was working by myself fabricating some curved panels in section three not wearing a mask (it sucks running a saw and such with a mask, I would rather protect my eyes). I was the only person in section three when an employee of the people running the site walked over 200 feet to ask me to put on a mask. I told him I was the only person for almost 500 feet until he walked 200 feet to me. He apologized and walked away. I picked up my finished panel, put my mask on and installed it in a common area keeping the mask on.

I have a friend who lives in Sweden and we have been comparing the government reactions. They have never locked things down, never required a mask and they appear to be much better off than we are with the restrictions. Their economy didn't take a hit either since businesses weren't shutdown.
Yesterday the Governor in North Carolina announced they were keeping us in Phase 2 through at least 11-Sept. The state HHS Secretary indicated that date was selected in part to allow them to see how school openings impacted the #s. Giving her the benefit of the doubt, perhaps she is talking about universities, but she was quoted as saying "schools". According to a local NBC News Station, most if not all counties on their K-12 list are going to start school online. Not sure how that will show much change . I am definitely not sure how watching schools reopen is going to impact opening gyms, bars, bowling alleys, etc.
I really do not know what to believe.
Masks can't hurt, and may do some good. How much energy does it take?
We have a friend that was diagnosed with the virus. Turns out he had pneumonia. They did not look for anything but the virus.
I can't go anywhere, do not drive. But I think I will where a mask if I do. Then I will only have to worry about the Karens and thugs.
I talked to a coworker today whose friend had it over a month ago. She’s miserable because she still can’t smell or taste anything and can’t shake the fatigue

^^^Trump should've said it was bogus and HCQ would never work. That way the studies would've shown it does work and MSM would've promoted the **** out of it.
There has been and will be a lot more of these stories coming out. Who'da thought letting criminals out of jail would have consequences.

The scary thing is, that it is true.
Had Trump denounced it, the media would immediately found that it was the end all cure.

Virus rips through school after mask usage is suspended
More than 150 students at an Israeli secondary school were infected by the coronavirus after students were allowed to remove their masks during a heatwave. Roughly 10 days after Israeli schools fully reopened on 17 May, two students at a secondary school in Jerusalem were diagnosed with COVID-19. The resulting outbreak infected 153 students and 25 members of staff. By mid-June, a further 87 cases had occurred among the close contacts of people infected through the school outbreak.

Be careful going to church, but if you want to avoid the virus, just go protest somewhere and you will be safe.

BTW, in NC, restaurants, distilleries, wineries, breweries can all open, but bars that do not qualify as a restaurant cannot.
