More mask info.
We're going to be requiring masks in public settings in the County under many circumstances likely by tomorrow.

Bae your latest link says implement early for good results. Have you not had cases yet on your island?
The entire county had only 15 cases total, with ~3 weeks since our last case. The county next door to us, where the ferry comes from, had a very high rate of infection. We acted early, and ahead of the state, to close down transient vacation rentals, and engaged in a somewhat expensive media campaign to discourage strongly visitors. Our county of 15,000 people gets millions of tourist visitors a year. My island of 5000 gets about 1 million of them, from all over the world.Quote:

We are also getting "virus tourists", who think this is a good place to hide out - it isn't really.
I suspect we will soon have a large rise in the number of cases, but we used the time wisely to prepare. Asking people to wear masks in public settings where they can't properly distance is important - we have 3 cemeteries here on the island, and no hospitals, ICU, ventilators, and so on.
So three locations where six foot distancing is automatically the norm.:devil:Quote:

I am shocked at the decision.
Why? The WI supreme court (from a virtual distance because of course they didn't want to actually come in contact with anyone) made it clear in the days before the primary last month that they are cool with people dying because that's the republican way. Now we get to watch WI follow GA and TN and KS into the rabbithole of "lots of new infections". And all the non-sciency people will be like "who would have thought this was going to happen??????" while the rest of the reality based community says "you're a special kinda stupid aren't ya?" and the non-sciency folks get upset that we're all so "judgey".Quote:

It does seem very different than when we used to go there a lot and were looking to buy a house there back in the late 90's.
