    I have even had to remind people about HIPAA requirements and it’s generally been 72 hours of hell.

    None of you are subject to HIPPA laws. That's one less thing to fear.

    I am.

      There is no question that I have seen so many Covid aware compliant people subtlety let their guard down since April where they were completely locked down and lysoling everything and washing their hands at every turn to allowing different people in at different times to their bubble.

      If they don’t return to April shutdown mode we will see spreader events like what we witnessed last week.

      Knowing that what to do you bet?

          BTW, Ronna McDaniel (RNC Chair) is giving her first interview since coming down with COVID. She got it from a family member.

          That's how a lot of people get it.

          Which is why we're keeping our distance from family members who swear up and down they're staying safe while they continue to work in bars, unmasked, and event arenas, unmasked. If that's living in fear I don't give a shit, find someone else to browbeat because I'm not changing my decision.

          Sounds to me like your browbeating yourself...

              I'm not. What do you see to indicate people are living in fear of COVID? I realize I live in a rural small town, so that skews what I will see locally. What are you seeing where you live, Jolly?

                I'm pretty rural, too. But just seeing how some people act around here, seeing what CNN blasts out everyday, seeing how many people thought the end times occurred when Trump waved off of a balcony, seeing some of the things even written on this board...Well, it seems that some people are scared spitless.

                That's no way to live life. The fact is that a person can only mitigate exposure to corona. You cannot escape it. Chances are very good, without a vaccine, you're going to get it.

                So life your life. Be prudent, but do not live in fear.

                  Meh. We had a friend over for dinner tonight that we know has been very careful. Her boyfriend in PA has a son who just showed up with a fever, so she is not going there this weekend.

                        I do know people who haven't been into a store in over 6 months. I also know people who've been to weddings and caught Covid (thankfully it was mild)

                        My biggest problem is forgetting to do stuff - like forgetting to put a mask on, or leaving it in the house. I've got used to it. We were all really worried back in March, but now apart from the fact that we don't go to restaurants and I work from home, it's pretty much normal. I have no choice where I work, so it's really out of my hands. The office let's the lab staff work, and a skeleton crew of management, but everybody else has to stay home.

                        Cautious isn't the same as scared.

                        I was only joking
