Nothing Changes As Long As You Obey

Blacks suffered for many decades in the American south. They complained endlessly, but the laws were against them and remained against them. A significant number of white people were sympathetic, but everyone obeyed the law and little changed.
Until King came along, of course, with his new strategy of goodness plus disobedience.
King, for whatever his shortcomings, was a serious minister, and had a clear vision of what goodness entailed. And, he became very good at communicating it. King added disobedience to goodness, and combined them with teachings on courage and self-control.
Within a decade or so of using this strategy, things changed in the American south. First, individuals changed. And, after a while, laws followed.

Me dino does not think that strategy will stop Trump, though massively cheating with mailed-in votes might.
Nevertheless, corrupted by power governors and mayors issuing obeyed unconstitutional executive orders damages the lives of people who need to get back to work as well as many small business that will not return with the jobs they provide.
Because I'm 73 with type 2 diabetes, I wear a mask in such crowded places as grocery and drug stores. Outside I prefer fresh air.
Inside right now I sure as heck ain't wearing a mask.
No you are not. WAKE UP. This is a weapon. More are coming.
If I needed to travel by bus or train or plane I would rethink.
Buildings which have central aircon or airflow, especially with older systems, should be suspect, it is hard to avoid these completely. This 6-feet separation may be ok in still air but if there is an air flow then nasties can be carried up and around. A mask may help or add danger. If you wear one, check you know how to put it on and take off, and what maintenance is needed, washable or disposable. Do not put fingers under it to eat or scratch your nose.
Herd immunity- cannot be guaranteed.
A vaccine, 3, 4, or 5 years would be normal, so by Jan 2021 stretches credibility, and if there is one and it works, is it safe?
From what little I know, do not reuse to wear a mask just because you ordered to do so.
Its time to stop this madness and remove all the restrictions to personal freedom and our livelihoods. I am happy to see people all over the country just refusing to "obey" the nonsense any longer.
If a person is afraid of catching corona, it is HIS responsibility to protect himself by taking precautions, including staying home. BUT, for those who are more adventurous, have better immune systems, and make the decision to take other actions, let them go about their business.
As to all the regulations about masks, cleanliness, etc. , let it be up to individual businesses to decide what to do, and let the people make the decision as to whether to be a customer or not.
I have decided NOT to go to costco as long as they require masks. The mask doesnt protect me, and I am not infected, so its a useless requirement and doesnt protect anyone.
As to this social distancing thing, a lot of what I do requires much closer contact with people. Arbitrary regulations set by ivory tower bureaucrats are just stupid and will increase business costs and set the economy at a lower new normal- costing everyone.
Remove all restrictions on personal freedom set upon us by the collectivist reaction to the coronsvirus- NOW. No "phases"
I'm also circulation to all my business acquaintance from the past 30 years. I find it interesting you illustrate Black Rock. I started watching this...abomination, around a year ago. Follows a law of nature: Predators prey.
Today it's worth trying. But there will be a point where we have to quit and fight.
Ft. Detrick Bio Lab was shut down permanently back in Jul/Aug 2019... just before all the "Vaping" deaths in the USA and the first known case in Wuhan last NOV. They had international military games there and many of the soldiers got sick.
The USA has fingerprints all over this and China is a convenient patsy. I, personally, am all for war with China and have been since the 90s. They suck and they gotta go. #NukeChina
