My handyman is picking up most of my groceries.  From what he reports, the local stores are all requiring masks, have put up one way signs, are trying to encourage social distancing, but some people are not only ignoring the precautions but rubbing in people's face the fact that they are ignoring precautions.  They are being deliberately pointedly rude about it.  Some stores have their employees enforce the precautions and such stores are still civil.  Other stores are not.  It seems like we are developing red and blue grocery stores.

I have somebody come do my cleaning, twice a week.  I generally stay in my computer room mostly.  She spends most of the time elsewhere.  Both of us are masked.  Belt, meet suspenders.  Suspenders, belt.

I am not surprised by your logic that those who take no precautions don't catch the bug.  It goes with the quality of the rest of your so called logic.  I figure you are mostly wrong, but pointing it out would be pretty futile.

I've been talking to you more on the internet. I've also been out there working and going to stores and socializing with people at bars and visiting with friends and spent a few days deer hunting and a few days fishing on Lake of the Woods and more or less placing my life at risk and accepting the possibility of getting sick the entire time COVID has been around. In short, I place more value on life over all than I place on the life of a few. I figure those who believe COVID could/will kill them will do whatever it takes to protect themselves from COVID and isolate themselves from human contact. I figure the ones who take no precautions don't care if they get COVID or possibly spread it to people wearing masks who aren't likely to die from it. I hate to say it but COVID ain't that big a deal to most working people. If COVID was a big deal, you wouldn't have a handyman getting your groceries or a maid cleaning your home because they'd be isolated and living like you. Like I've mentioned, we have a ton of suckers and scardey cats and race baiters and opportunists driving Democratic politics these days.
