Exactly. I'm certainly not rooting against us, especially because it is financially disastrous on a personal level. I'm not sure JWags gets outside the city much. I have in-laws who still won't take this seriously. So when it gets to the rural places (and it will with the way that bars are currently operating) we will see more people from those communities getting sick.
Not sure why you need to continually make snide generalizations about anyone who doesn’t agree with you and surely chalk it up to ignorance, naivety, or some agenda. I’m not in a city and haven’t been in an urban area since I came back to WI from NYC a month ago. I have relatives all over Wisconsin, my sister is in Dallas and has spent her last 2 weeks in Texarakana with her BF’s family. My other sister is with her BF in central NJ. I have good friends I talk to about this in middle of nowhere Ohio, Florida, Denver, not to mention my associates abroad. It’s not some head in the sand Pollyanna perspective. You read trends and development one way, I read it another. I’m willing to bet full shutdowns don’t happen in places where things are steady. Which is what you called for before adjusting to bars and restaurants. But if you want to make cracks about me being a sheltered urbanite, go for it.
Very few stores here in SE Wisconsin require masks. And a decent percent of people aren’t wearing them. I can’t really comment on restaurants as I do not go to any.
Just a comment on that .. we spent last week in Door County. All businesses were prepared/masked/plexiglassed. All restaurants were pickup and if the could invent outdoor seating, they did. The first time I went to the grocery, 99% of customers had masks. We ate outdoors only, and only went into one shop. The resort closed the indoor pool, the outdoor pool was limited to 7 people which was crazy low but kept the real number to about 10, all spread.There were two moments where idiots crowded around us closely (outdoors).. but for the most part, we felt pretty safe and found it possible to go about our lives with slight changes to keep our risk low.
Just curious - overall, how busy did it seem compared to a typical summer?
I'll echo that DC has been taking this very seriously since at least Memorial day when we were up there.

Yeah I mean this is what their new strategy is right? Blame Fauci. Blame China. Blame...whoever. Just don't blame the guy in charge.
There is nothing hysterical about it. Cases are increasing, and it is directly related to bars and restaurants. We're going to lock them down too. If you don't think that is coming you're blind, bud.

“This is very bad,” Michael Mina, an epidemiology professor at Harvard, told us. Rapid test-turnaround times are the only way to control the coronavirus without forcing every potentially contagious person—everyone who’s had contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19—into quarantine, he said: “Our modeling efforts more or less show that if you don’t get results back in a day or so, outbreaks really can’t be stopped without isolating and quarantining all contacts preemptively.”
