    On the news I saw professional baseball and basketball players practicing right next to each other, none of them wearing masks. I don't blame them since masks make it hard to breathe. Everyone should have that same right to breathe freely, not just elite athletes.

    So go outside - away from others - and breathe freely. Have your right to breathe freely, but don't violate my right not to get sick from you in the process.

    Or you could stay 6 feet away from me if you think I am sick, which I am not. It is very rare for an asymptomatic person to transmit the virus to anyone else. I stay away from other people and I wish they would reciprocate.

    And that is the point - you can only control yourself! Don't put the onus on others but step up and do what you can do to keep YOURSELF - AND OTHERS - safe! I WILL keep away from you but, regardless of my actions, that should NOT stop you from also keeping away from me!

    I am not particularly worried about getting the virus. If others are they should stay 6 feet away from me rather than expecting me to alter my life because they don't have the self-control to maintain social distance. I am not a doctor or dental hygienist or hairdresser or anything else that would require someone to get up close and personal with me.

    ETA I just saw James Lankford interviewed about about Trump"s rally in Oklahoma. He was asked about holding this in the covid era. He said if you are in a high risk group don't go to the rally. Take some personal responsibility.

    Okay, I have been giving you the benefit of the doubt, but thanks for the confirmation of your characteristics/personality traits as displayed here - selfish, uncaring, no compassion for others.

    I wish you a HEALTHY life, regardless. Bye.

    I am keeping my distance, so I am not selfish. People who are lazy and expect me to protect them because they do not want to bother to protect themselves are the selfish ones. Get out of my space if you don't want my perceived germs.

    Too bad we can't stay away from her here too. Always spouting the SAME garbage. Enough even.

    Did you happen to read the detailed protocols they are using for resuming operations...?

    Hint: a photo on "the news" doesn't cover what's going on...

    In the state I live in (WI) the percentage of tests that are positive each day has been in the 2% to 4% range since 5/26/2020.

    The county I live in (Price) has tested 712 persons in total... 2 tested positive.

    The local community is more relaxed... more businesses are open. Yesterday I went to the hardware store. Of 20 customers I saw in the store, just one was wearing a mask. None of the employees were. There was social distancing (6 foot radius) in the check out line.

    The Farmers Market is operating 1 day per week. Campgrounds are open. I see quite a few camper trailers being pulled hither and yon on the highway. Taverns and restaurants are open. Everything is open except the banks and credit unions... and customers can call for an appointment if they need anything in a branch.

    I am still taking precautions.

    I think the backyard bonfires and garage parties are premature. For COVID-19 there still is no vaccine.

    Maybe it was a "denial" exercise, but back when WI had 2,267 cases, President Trump said he could see the "light at the end of the tunnel". Now the count of cases is 22,758 (including 692 deaths) in the state.
