Depends on which news you listen to. If you listen to the Hannity-Carlson-Ingraham news you might think that hundreds of people wearing masks outside are gonna cause a lot of spread, but the other News all over the world will tell you what the scientists report. Things like packing into Bars without masks is a big spreader. And reopening in the middle of a surge, going against the CDC's plans to only open if you have 14 days without an uptick.
And removing the scientists from the Coronavirus briefing is a good way to hide the truth from the American People.
I'm not going to get into a political argument here, but as for some places not getting infected, of course if very few people live in your area, very few people will get infected.
Let's not forget that New York was the Epicenter in the beginning, and Cuomo listened to the scientists & flattened the curve, while other states didn't pay attention to the simple plan that New York showed, and now the South & West is raging & New York is doing good.
Also everybody wanted to get back to work, but due to pressure from above they skipped the CDC plan & jumped right up even though the spread was already bad. That's just ignorant.
It's been 6 months since either Me or Mrs Bear have gone anywhere away from our house, and the only one who enters our house is Bear Jr, when he brings us our groceries. And he doesn't come near us & wears a mask when he's in our house. He wipes all our grocery packages with wipes before he brings them to us. Mrs Bear even Nukes our mail before messing with it.
Note: Make sure there's no New Credit Cards in your mail before Nuking it.LOL
Maybe I'd be Cocky if I didn't already have Heart, Lung, and Kidney problems, and if Mrs Bear didn't have a Pacemaker, but I would hope I would still care about others enough to wear a mask if I got near people, and try to keep my distance whenever I could.
Just my 2 Piasters,
