I mean, I get needing food and stuff to do house repairs kind of stuff (I have been going out once per week or so for food), but who needs T.J. Max Clothes that bad? And, I think the bigger issue is that I see one mask and nobody even coming close to social distancing. And, IIRC, Central Arakansas, around Little Rock was a hot spot not that long ago.

And it’s things like that which is going to make this a never ending cycle. People just aren’t paying attention, and it’s going to blow up worse than before and our leadership is actively sabotaging any efforts to promote health and well being. I’d say a quarter of the places here require masks, the rest about half are wearing them. All stores are limiting customers. Which is good. Hand washing and personal distancing avoiding crowds. All smart things. But that’s not the message That you are seeing from the federal government. They pressured states to move faster than they were ready, without testing and tracking (omg Freedom!), and the military flyovers and all is great.

Like I’ve said before, not a huge fan of continuing lockdowns. And I completely understand this. The economy needs to get going. I understand this. But if people would sanitize, wear masks, and social distance/avoid crowds, it would severely limit this. But no.

Neighbor on Friday had 6 families over. Probably 30 people in his yard. BBQ, kids playing together, community food And drink table, and I’m like humm we wonder why this is going to blow up again.
