cannot...or will not.

Give people a inch and they'll take a mile.

"The minute that people were lining up, people are hugging and trying to pull tables together," Duganier said.

So stupid. New cases per day are not decreasing, nor is the death rate per day.

Some find freedom scary... Nothing is stopping those who are at risk from staying home. Correspondingly, nothing should be stopping those not facing a statistically significant risk from choosing to go out and interact with other humans.

OK FluBro

If you want to go out and hug and pull tables together you should be allowed. Scared of your shadow stay home. We going to close the country ever flu  season? Guess well open the country for a bit then close it because chinese killer hornets.

I am responsible for my safety.  I use PPE and don't touch anyone that doesn't live in my home.  

YRMV depending on how you approach this mess.  

The restaurant is responsible for using healthy practices, healthy workers and providing a healthy place to dine.  The patrons are responsible for themselves.  

Yes, people are stupid.  

I went to Sportsman's Warehouse today and walked in the Guitar Center store at Harbison with my son, wore a mask, sanitizer was used but I still got out and about, safely.  I get takeout from Mcalister's Deli also.  Odd, their workers don't use PPE while the folks at Guitar Center all do, along with making sure you don't touch shop products, you walk around with the worker married up to the shopper.

I have also been to Lowe's, wearing PPE.  

We can't live in lockdown but we can exercise safe practices that allow us to live freely.  

Columbia is much more stringent than Sumter.  But we knew the mayor there was a tyrant.
