BREAKING: US hits 70% vaccination level (White House)

17. I never stopped

I double mask. Main Street Waynesville is 100 percent tourists accommodating. Many locals can’t afford much anything there. I stay away. Couple of great mini brew pubs but, I just do not feel safe there with all tourists, and masks are rare. A great dog bakery there, so Last Friday took a quick stop to get my girls some treats. Use to be recently, all the staff were masked. This time none were. NO custermers were masked and forget distancing. Packed with tourist. Last week, went to a local hardware store to avoid Lowe’s to get a hose nozzle. Zero masks. I was stared at hard by everyone there because I had a mask. I left with my money. The problem is so many locals will never mask or Vax, and all this tourists movement coming here from area’s with state of emergency conditions is just gonna blow this region up. Other than Mission in Asheville, these local rural hospitals have zero capacity for what is gonna come. My daughter is an ICU nurse at mission. Yea, I am very worried. But thank God for my Forests and no trail areas I can stay in away from it all. Stay safe, sounds like there are some good folks around you at your work place.
