Just because your not wearing a mask

does not mean the pandemic is gone. What is wrong with people?? Neighbors and friends have booked flights and left for different states to vacation.
Going into stores so many have ditched wearing a mask.
This is really frightening and disappointing. The cases are going to triple.

was 151 this week.

Typically Saturday cases are dramatically lower than Friday (1919 to 6274 lower every week since April 4, typically 2-3000 lower)).

Cases have already started going up dramatically.

They've been going to dine in at restaurants and have gotten loose about wearing their masks. I told them that it's as dangerous now as it ever was.

I knew that a lot of people would take the relaxation of rules to be a sign that the danger has passed. Some states are now seeing their greatest gains in infection rates. Some of the experts were saying that we were going to have a reduction in new cases until September, but it doesn't look like a reduction to me.

Went to the Post Office on Main Street to check my mail last night to find the street closed because of a car rally.

Hundreds of cars chopped and restored cruising up and down the street.

Along with thousands of cheering spectators crowding both sides of the street.

I just drove on by, but I didn't see a single mask.
