So earlier I was looking at some map of places where people have changed their habits and travel less and places where people are still driving around doing whatever they usually do. Then every county got a grade.

Hey, it was a joke. People need to have a sense of humor now more than ever. As long as they are doing it from more than six feet away they can have at it.

I looked it up.

Right. Let’s not make any rules that could help because maybe some other people won’t follow them.

That is not the way it is here. Yet. And it is not physically possible to be even 1 yard away from the cashier without doing this whole dance, and I don’t want to be the dance instructor. We don’t have glass up yet. Even at self checkouts they still have to help you sometimes, and those cashiers get even closer to you…

Unless you know of some great counterfeit mask thing, the Dollar Tree masks seem the same as those given to me at the clinic. Also just watched this mask comparison and they aren't as good as some other things I could have bought, but they definitely do something. Definitely better than not wearing anything. 

Lots of us do have masks just lying around. Some people prepared for this. Or they had them for other stuff. Before all this you could buy masks at Dollar Tree or Home Depot. I threw away 8 masks a few months ago because of other people making me feel bad about keeping things that I could always get from Dollar Tree.…

From our bunkers. Duh.

Wearing gloves is extra protection and an extra reminder to not touch my face. Why would I not wear them? And your argument makes no sense. It might be an hour or more between those two handwashings. With your argument I would never be using gloves at all cause I could always just wash my hands later? No thanks.…

Ok, so I’m not supposed to wear gloves because if I touch germs with the gloves then the germs might get transferred to the next thing I touch with the gloves? As opposed to touching germs with my hands and then germs might get transferred to the next thing I touch with my hands?

No, no. Underpants that should be thrown away will be thrown away as soon as stimulus checks and unemployment checks get here. But I do have this fitted sheet that I'm going to cut up for another project, so I suppose it's time to do that. 

I'm sure I have elastic around here somewhere, and I've got some stuff to take apart for other projects, but it would have been easier and faster just to get some at the store while I was already out, and the section was completely empty. Just like the toilet paper section is completely empty. 

People wearing masks they already bought or made themselves aren't taking anything away from healthcare workers. 

Ok, why are the gloves a bad idea?

But if they made everyone wear something before entering the grocery store, and then we try to social distance from everyone except the cashier, then we have a hard time catching anything from anybody right?

My husband had to go to UPS yesterday, so I figured we might as well get the grocery shopping done too. We went to Walmart hoping to get a few other things, and I figured it was time to buy some fabric as I can probably make one of these masks.

If you didn’t live in New York or DC, weren’t in the military, or weren’t close to someone who was, it seemed to get better rather quickly. And you could do stuff like go to Disneyland to feel better. That September we had a sales job on a military base, so that really sucked. The following October we worked in…

On the one hand I think you're right.  On the other hand some other stuff was canceled in March before all the stay at home orders. I  remember we were still joking about all this even after SXSW was canceled. 

Canada and Australia now have stay at home orders for 90 days, and they don't yet have as much of a problem as California.  Or at least they weren't as bad off last time I checked. We just haven't been told the same thing yet because Trump is in charge here. 

Daybreak isn’t doing it right how?
