Get.exposed o 've and then choose.to.double the risk by getting exposed after work?
It’s not a problem of having it both ways: it’s simply whether the society chooses to have more exposure or less exposure.
Having people stay home after work makes everybody including those working during the day much safer.

Point being nobody criticizes grandpa for going to that same restaurant when the kid is forced to work there.
But somehow the kid is irresponsible if they go there.
This is not a generational thing, it’s a manufactured thing from Trump and cronies to try to split people and pass the blame.

Most popular T-shirt this year:
“I went to Sturgis and traded my iron butt for an iron lung.”
Where do you get that? I think anyone who goes out to eat right now is a damn fool. Like that is something you can’t wait for until it’s safe for everyone? Most restaurants do takeout now.
IF Grandpa is at the bar and the parties then shame on Grandpa

After many residents objected to holding the rally during a pandemic, city leaders decided to pay for mass testing with money they had received as part of federal coronavirus relief funding.
And what about those who test positive? Are they just going to be left to their own devices?

“It’s a very good thing for the town,” Peck said of the rally.
You might wanna wait a while before making such a cocksure pronouncement.

Until we have Yang’s basic income, most people will have to have jobs. Not.avoidable under our current economic system.
Trump is interested in blaming the young; not in protecting them.
Restrictions on activity outside of essential work protect.everybody.
I’m not too much interested in who gets blamed for what. Vitally interested in what can be done to limit the damage. Outside of a few types that I’d be happy to see strolling unmasked through certain ERs.

Why worry, its happening right now…give it another 4-5 days to really get cooking…gory details to come…
When I walk past the restaurants in my area, all those outdoor seating areas are filled with all ages.
Which is my point. I don’t see any generational criticism of anyone except “the youth”, even though people of all ages are flouting the best practices for containment.

Then you haven’t been listening to me. I have lots of criticism for anyone who eats at a restaurant, shops in person for anything not essential, attends an indoor church service, on and on and on.
I’ve had to work through this whole thing (healthcare), and stay home through the lockdown and it did feel like work release, but I haven’t gotten sick yet, or acquired the virus and taken it in to kill off my patients.
In the last few weeks I have finally done some socializing, outdoors, distanced, and masked.
And I showed my dog at an Obedience trial a couple of weeks ago, done to the freshly-minted AKC COVID protocols.
Why yes, her first Novice B leg and 3rd place. Thank you for asking.

Yes I know that the Sturgis crowd are not the Sons of Anarchy that they fantasy. But in all my previous jobs the bikers we pretty easy to spot, most were pretty hard to stand.

I’m not talking about the folks here. I’m talking about the big messaging.
It literally dates to a WH covid briefing from March 18th, and that’s when the blame-game started that the spread is all of these kids being bad, and all responsibility of the adults to do things like shut stuff down could be swept under the rug.
We shouldn’t be helping out a republican talking point which they used to pass the buck everywhere but themselves.

With that clarification I agree with you.

Most of the people who attended the rally in Sturgis were a long fucking way from young.

yeah, down here in ATX we’ve moved from stage 4 down to stage 3 just in time for the first day of classes at UT - I’ll be surprised if we aren’t on our way back to stage 4 before we even in hit Labor Day.

But… freedom! Freedom to ride noisy motorcycles, unencumbered by helmets and freedom to spread the virus far and wide.

Bachman had booked an appt. at the salon at that time.
