Other people hide in order to avoid what’s so frightening. That’s human nature. There’s a time for action and a time for retreat. In my case, I wear a mask and wash my hands because I’m not so afraid of dying or so confident that I’ll get a fever and be sick for a few days but that one of the in-between possibilities - stroke, kidney disease, circulatory problems - prevent me from living the life I’m enjoying now.<br /><br />People entering state legislative buildings while armed and being confrontational with peace officers may be within their rights but are winning few adherents who vote. Others who are quietly buying food for people unemployed and unable to register for unemployment or who are sitting cutting fabric and seeing masks may be convincing others to make this nasty worldwide situation a little better. Those are the fine people I want to emulate.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14634111312307369867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-38181318476245259512020-05-04T18:38:57.660-04:002020-05-04T18:38:57.660-04:00My memory, and correct me if I am wrong, is that i...My memory, and correct me if I am wrong, is that in early April the CDC recommended the use of face masks to curtail the spread of the coronavirus. Within days, the state ordered it. I see no problem at all with this - it is a state matter, and hey, I myself was not wearing one until it became mandatory. Then I had to spend more to get a mask because I dragged my heals and they were harder to find. But I believe most everyone feels better knowing they are helping not infect others. Most everyone. If we had been wearing them weeks earlier, we would be in much better shape. Instead of being pretty much screwed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-20610233309392709602020-05-04T17:58:43.485-04:002020-05-04T17:58:43.485-04:00i've temporarily enabled comment moderation.i've temporarily enabled comment moderation.

Had our president been a proper leader, they might've known better.<br /><br />As to the Chinese non-ban, that was the first indication that I can recall that indicated that Trump took the virus at all seriously. He certainly has backtracked since that time.<br /><br />And it wasn't a ban. 40,000 people were allowed to reenter the U.S. from China.
