COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)
Almost stopped reading at "Facebook".... That's a perfect example of "out of context" garbage... Literally everyone on that site that posts garbage... Is there looking for attention... Negative or Positive makes no difference... level of truth or context makes no difference.
Also, if you are here saying that that the few hundred idiots here and there not following the rules or displaying common decency / empathy while on their boats, in lines getting beer, or not wearing some type of PPE for one reason or another.... or even talking garbage on social media... make up the vast majority of the 260k+ people that reside in our Parish... then we are just going to have to disagree.
a cloth mask is not PPE. lets be clear about that. PPE denotes PERSONAL protective equip- aka protecting one self. P100 or N95 would be that.
You dont need context with Facebook. Thats what the pictures are for. Dont know why anyone would need context to a photo showing 30+ boats, bow to bow, with 100s of people milling about from boat to boat. The photo provides the context you need.
And not sure where you shop or where you go, but i have posted here several times about my trips to HD, Lowes, Winn Dixie, Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Rouses etc etc and the number of people NOT wearing a simple mask. Shoot, Lowes stopped the "qeueing" of folks last Saturday and i arrived at 8 am to see a freakin shirt show of people, unmasked, all thru that store.
Sunday,...back in line. It was obvious that was a trial run to see what would happen. I bet they didnt even think it would be THAT bad.
So the 100s on the river are not the same 1000s running thru Lowes on a Sat am. When you start doing the math, its plain to see that it adds up quickly.
