#1 "It's devastatingly worrisome to me personally"

You tried your best to warn them, it's not your fault. As the old say'n goes "there's no fixing stupid."

#2 Amazing isn't it, how many 'public health officials' don't understand 'public'? To me it was such officials back in the 80s who decided against the opportunity to blood test everyone for AIDS/HIV and invoke the age old practice of isolation. Hundreds of thousands of deaths later, they threw out any credibility to their 'expertise'. Again, their solution is treat the entire population as one for political reasons instead of identifying specific groups and locations. Their wink at fellow health officials who write off any death they can as related to pathogen and not verify its true cause only undermines any actual scientific approach to the issue.

#5 Virginia and West Virginia open no face masks. Bars open Monday night in West Virginia. People going to get smashed. Patient went to Doctors office in Maryland staff and Doctor no face mask. Nice weather and all bets off. CON virus has no hold on free spirited.

#6 This lunacy hopefully will end SOON. We've survived the Black Plague, the Spanish Flu, and other maladies (and maladies we probably didn't even know were maladies). Sure, COVID-19 is real; the response thereto was, overall, pathetic.
