I really wish masks only protected the person and not other people. That way the idiots who don't wear masks could be the ones who get Covid and the rest of us would be safe from their idiocy.

You just have to shake your head at the idiocy sometimes. 

LOVE the two sides to every story quip.

 

Mam, your cancer is very treatable. Your oncologist, Dr. Johnson, is one of the best in the world, and she put together a plan to beat this thing. We think you have a great shot at leading a normal life again in 6-12 months. 

 

But remember, there is two sides to every story. So we brought in Bob, who is a plumber with Roto-Rooter. Bob also has a plan to beat your cancer. We just wanted to make sure you heard multiple options. Would you like to go with Plumber Bob's Cancer Treatment Plan, or Dr. Johnson's plan?

Scottsbluff, Nebraska one of the top 10 for number of cases per resident!

Minnesota just did this starting last night. The governor held a grim press conference. Talked about how hospitalizations are increasing and that a lot of people are going to die. Then the only restriction to come from the press conference was 10 PM bar closings.

 

Free flex tape masks for everyone would have been more effective.

Shut it down...give us stimulus checks.

At least Minnesota has a mask mandate. Nebraska doesn't have one. What these state leaders should be doing (and should have been doing a long time ago) is say the bars/restaurants and other businesses can remain open with restrictions, but there is a mask mandate, and then make sure the police are being vigilant about fining people who aren't wearing them.

This chart is not all that surprising. Rural towns don't care about this thing. I know of people in western Nebraska that had the symptoms, just refused to get tested and went on with their lives mask free. People ask why Omaha's hospitals are overrun, even though we do a *decent* job of masking up here - rural folks make up a large portion of those hospitalizations in Omaha.

I also think you are seeing people that are "over it", I know I am.  I still wear a mask and clean constantly but I am over it.  I think a lot of people, especially teens and young adults are just over it.  If I was in college (God, I wish!) I would be out and about, drinking and partying with friends.  If I was in HS...forget about, the second I was not around "adults" me and my friends would be doing whatever we wanted.
