In these parts, you have to wear one to get into stores. Some people don’t bother if there is no monitor at the entrance. Some others pull them partially or all the way down once they get inside, especially if they want to talk on the phone. Yesterday I sneered at an elderly guy in Whole Foods who pulled down his mask to talk on his phone. He clearly saw me because he pulled it up after I gave him the look.

What really gets me is when I see people like grocery see workers with their masks down. See if relatively frequently. Took a ride to an Acme the other day. Guy re-stocking the wine shelves had his bandana down around his neck, and he wasn't simply staying in one place.

Popping them in the freezer helps too. Better yet, in the freezer before cutting

Re COVID19 increases, as everyone knows this is no surprise. Totally expected. The real question is, will this just be a minor bump and we can manage it with most people still behaving, wearing masks etc. or is there going to be a HUGE spike in cases which can and will overwhelm the hospitals etc., I hope it's just a small bump but vamos a ver.

One of the guys in my club has been constantly chirping to let everybody know that he thinks the stay at home order has been farce. The head-scratcher, to me, is using a relatively slow spread to argue that the order wasn't necessary, as opposed to, oh, using that data as support of efficacy of the action. His most recent chirp was that covid has "disappeared."
But seriously, my take is that only NYC was scaring folks enough for them to take precautions. As soon as NYC settled down, the attitude became much like for auto accidents. Meh! Fact of life. Well, not really.

Hmm. Are the front speakers in the ceiling or in the front wall?
How much music do you listen to? Is it mostly just in background? And movies - do you want to hear bullets whizzing and helicopter blades whirling around the room? Or would you be fine if just the front half of the room had (directional) sound?

I'm thinking it isn't weather that makes viral illnesses like flu seasonal, flaring up in the fall, but rather back-to-school. There is nothing that can spread a virus like a school child.

Yep, but what about the 50% of people that cover their mouths with the mask but not their noses? It's everywhere here in Houston.

That is classic idiocy. You see it all the time. It is even in the Bible. A prophet says repent or die. Everybody repents. Nobody dies. Therefore he was a false prophet. If I'm not mistaken, that was part of Jonah's problem.
But seriously, my take is that only NYC was scaring folks enough for them to take precautions. As soon as NYC settled down, the attitude became much like for auto accidents. Meh! Fact of life. Well, not really.

There is a good amount of compliance here. It certainly wanes the further out from the cities that you get, though. Even in the suburbs, it's there's a noticeable shift. Rural? Forget it. A curious pattern unlike anything we've seen before, eh?

Tag issues are because of posting from my phone while the movers do their thing. The whole mobile-first concept can DIAF.
