Based on my trip out today - we're all gonna die from COVID 19.

May as well get it over with, since we can't count on either our local governments OR our fellow citizens to cooperate.

I went to two of the three stores I visited last week (on my second jaunt out since the first week of March).

In the store where 60+% of people were wearing masks last week - the number had dropped to fewer than 10%. The number of employees not wearing masks (or wearing them below their noses and/or mouths) had increased.

As I entered the store, two unmasked people - ignoring the one-way exit - commented in my general direction, "They should be safe, they are wearing masks."

In a store where only 66% of the employees were effectively wearing masks a week ago (the owner was wearing it around his neck) - 66% today were completely unmasked - not even a mask aroung their necks. Again - the % of customers wearing masks dropped from 60+% a week ago to fewer than 10%.

DeWine gave in to the "masks hurt my feelings" crowd - hoping (I think) that if he didn't mandate a bedtime for the toddlers they might actually stop fighting sleep so hard. Not working. We're all gonna die.

(Sorry to be so facetious - but I'm pissed and resigned to a massive increase in COVID 19 in a couple of weeks. I just hope DeWine returns to his senses before it is too late - and he completely destroys any benefit Ohio gained from his very smart earlier decisions. But since I don't expect he will, I'm just going to hibernate in place.)
