When will the coronavirus arrive in the US? (Disease: COVID-19; Virus: SARS-CoV-2)
Wife wanted to stop at Fresh Market on the way home from an errand, so we did, after going in it was obvious we were in the minority, being the only two without masks,
Everyone in the store had on masks, 100%, nobody said anything and there wasn't a sign on the door but there was a sign given about the customer base...
Nobody said anything though....
Interesting what it says about FM's customer base though...

I guess not. They were worried that if they spoke to you, you'd open your mouth and puke up one of them Broccoli Grenades on 'em.

So, we couldn't hold out any longer and decided to go to Costco for necessities even with their stupid ass mask restriction. Wife and daughter went inside to do the shopping as I refuse to wear the shit and my wife found out why. While she was shopping she got dizzy and light headed. Nauseous to the point she nearly puked. She spoke to a supervisor, they told her to remove her mask if she'd like and tell everyone of her medical condition. Funny thing was that when they were going into the store, a lady was being brought out by the fire/ambulance crew on a gurney because of the same fucking nonsense. It's a health risk during high humidity/high temps like we ended up having today here in central Virginia. Folks are going to figure out real quick what it's like to be in MOPP 4 in the heat and humidity.

Yeah, this does not bode well for the human race. In the event of a genuine crisis worldwide, we'd be roasting and eating each other in the streets.

LOL, I was kinda worried I'd be hissed out of the store like Dom Deluise in Blazing saddles...

I know you all will be shocked, just shocked to learn the Evil Queen of Michigan has extended the lock down until 6-12.
And her tame judge opened the door for it.

Cool. We'll be up there starting June 1st to show our support for the local businesses in Presque Isle and Cheboygan Counties.

I’m sympathetic to LEOs placed in a tough spot by terrible government, but the right answer is always to do the right thing which in this case is upholding your oath to our founding documents and principals. You don’t have to be a martyr or quit in protest. But you also don’t have to zealously enforce everything new whim of a tyrant just because you received orders.
Preach it (though it shouldn't *need* to be said at all...)

I had to go to work this morning to drop off paperwork. After I went to both Kroger and Walmart. About 80% or better were without a mask.
As I drove through town on my way home I only saw a handful of people out about walking with a mask on.

I just returned from a rural-ish Walmart down South.
Maybe 20% had masks on, fwiw, folks of all shades and socioeconomic statuses.
I was out and about most of the day. I would say 75 percent had no mask on. Also I’ve noticed a much higher percentage of women with them on than men. Traffic around here is probably 80% of what it was. I’m also seeing more elderly people not wearing a mask.

That's about what I noticed. Most with masks on were 40 or younger women. I didn't see any one over 60 years old with a mask of man or woman.
Traffic was about 80% of normal and gas is almost $2.00 per gallon on regular.

Went to do some banking yesterday afternoon. As I'm walking up to the bank a older gentleman wearing a mask heading to his car locks and holds eye contact with me for about twenty feet. I just smiled.
When I got back in the rig my wife asked who that was as she thought I was talking to the guy, I said I think I was getting dog eyed for not wearing a mask. Not a word was exchanged with the guy.

Yet there are reports all over that she's already at her summer home in N. Mich. For the holiday weekend. We have to stay home and she does what she wants.

Not a violent mask or anti-mask, but wtf does this actually mean?
Do some banking? Exchanging bullion?

I just saw a iPhone video of a restaurant in South Carolina tonight; it looked full of people enjoying their food and drink, no masks to be seen not even on staff. Looks like any typical Friday night in a busy restaurant anywhere.
Meanwhile we wanted to order takeout (the only way to get food from a restaurant right now) Mexican from our favorite Mexican hole in the wall place, but they weren’t answering their phone. So I drove over to order in person, and had to wear a mask to even get through the door. Of course the door is locked, and the place is dark. They probably said “fuck it” and went back to Mexico
Our Dictator-Governor Tom Wolf has us on this ridiculous 3 part phase system and my county is still currently in “Red”. He just released a new updated version of this nonsense tonight WTF is this “new normal” BS? Don’t tell me that this has not become 100% political!
