    Jp, I am guessing your nice weather is helping since you can do many things outside.

    I think we're actually in agreement here. I haven't spent any time indoors with anyone other than SO since this began. And certainly not without a mask. And I don't plan to any time soon. When the movers were doing their thing I insisted that SO and I stay outside as much as possible and we had all the windows wide open until an hour after they left. Who knows. Maybe our numbers are only good because we have nice weather here all summer so people can easily get together outside. If that's the case and we have a cold, wet winter then maybe our numbers will go through the roof in the next few months. I don't know.

    Interesting on the perception of cold. Here in WI people are outside eating ice cream in 30 degree weather. Noticed places put up ice shanties outside their businesses in hopes people will eat there when it is cold. It is 36 and windy now and saw one occupied. You couldn't pay me to eat in a confined space like that. Also wonder about how to sterilize the place???

    I'm not sure why Nancy Pelosi's stylist is such a big deal when surely all the blondes in the White House aren't dyeing their own hair.
    I guess she could have had it colored by someone in her bubble... And how do we know she wasn't wearing a mask, anyway?

    I just read an article confirming what most of us have assumed for a long time--that masks (assuming they're well-designed) protect the wearer as well as those around them. It's just common sense, but it's nice to have science to back it up.

    I'm not just focused on large indoor gatherings, I'm focused on all indoor gathering without masks, which includes restaurants/bars. Looking at the covid risk assessment map which shows the likelihood of there being at least one infected person in a gathering of various sizes the numbers are scary:

    St Louis County:
    In a group of 25 people there's a 55% chance that at least one person will have an active case.
    In a group of 15 people there's a 38% chance that at least one person will have an active case

    Cook county IL,
    25 people, 65% chance
    15 people 47% chance.

    San Francisco
    25 people 11% chance
    15 people, 7% chance

    Washoe County NV
    25 people 57% chance
    15 people 40% chance

    King County WA (Seattle)
    25 people, 22% chance
    15 people, 14% chance

    Greeley County KS (mom's hometown)
    50% chance with a group of TENpeople.

    In ND there are currently 8 counties where the risk of at least one current positive is over 75% for groups of just 10 people. Yet the governor of the state only just the other day finally implemented a mask requirement. Almost 1 in every 1000 residents of that state has died from covid. And they are only now implementing a mask requirement?

    Any of those, even San Francisco's or Seattle's numbers, seem like really bad odds if one is considering eating indoors at a restaurant.

    She was caught on video.

    Giving her the benefit of the doubt, the salon employee may have told her we can have one customer at a time.

    But why no mask? And why not verify the information? I remember in the scruffy spring days ordinary folks all knew what you could and couldn't get whether cut, color, blow dry, beard trim, etc. Of course we have to know, because the rules apply to us.

    I agree. At the time outdoor stylist work was allowed. Nancy should have done that. Then the news would have been good.
