There has been a partial relaxing of Bat Flu restrictions here. Restaurants can open at 50% capacity with spacing between tables etc.
Wednesday the wife and I ventured to our new favorite ice cream dispensary. Only she went in, masked up for safety. We sat in the car and ate our frozen goodness. As we left, we drove around the backside of the strip mall.
At the far end away from the ice cream shop is a bar. It was just reopened this week. There, hidden from view, was the patio. The tables were removed. I guess that was a “good” thing, since so many people were crammed into the outside dining space there was no room for a table anywhere! I bet there more than 50 people crammed together laughing and drinking. Social distancing indeed.
If infection rates skyrocket and the political powers again infringe on our freedoms, it is jerkwads like this who will be responsible.

"IF" infection rates spike.
Thing is, there is no hiding from this. You *WILL* be exposed. It is simply a matter of when. There is not (and likely won't be for a year) a vaccine.
The whole "Hide From the Virus" thing wasn't designed to keep all of us from getting it, it was (supposed to be) a 2 week delay to keep the hospitals from being overwhelmed. Turns out the estimates were off by a factor of 40 or more, so the hospitals were never overwhelmed. Probably never would have been.
If you do get it (by that I mean test positive), you have a 20% chance that you will ever get sick in any way....likely won't even know it unless you get a test to find out.....If you do become symptomatic, you have a less than 1% chance you will need hospitalization....and a less than 0.1% chance of dying.
Look at the map I posted on my blog a day ago. It is correct. 1/3 of the cases come from NYC. 1/3 come from other large metro areas. the other third is the WHOLE REST OF THE COUNTRY.
another statistic: 40% of the hospitalized cases are elderly people or grossly obese.
Yer worrying about not much.
B said it.
The only way we can beat Orange Man in November is to destroy the economy that so many citizens enjoyed.
We've accomplished that.
Now let's see if our "subjects" got the message.
