WELL, I POSTED ABOUT THE COVID-19 ALREADY. SO THIS IS A FOLLOW UP POST.
A lot is going on around the world and a lot is going on around social media about the
virus. Some say it is real and we need to take strong precautions to prevent it's spread.
Some say it is a sham and we need to ignore the governing bodies edicts.
Some business owners have protested the governors orders and some have even opened when not allowed too, saying a governors orders are not law and that it is only a suggestion.
One restaurant in our area even opened a couple of weeks in advance of the governor saying they could and put large banner type signs on the side of the restaurant building blasting the governor. The banners are down now, for the most part, and the restaurant has been given a cease and desist order and the food service license has been suspended.
Restaurants are allowed to open tomorrow, June 1 for in house dining with restrictions. It will be interesting to see what happens with this restaurant. The town, for the most part, hopes the license is restored. The owner has said that he expects he will have to pay some fines.He is prepared to do that. I just hope he is prepared well enough.
AND MASKS. There is a lot of controversy on the wearing of masks. Some say it helps. Some say it does not. And helps or not, there are those that just can't wear a mask regardless of how much it helps. It is not that they don't want to, they just can't. I went to town yesterday to fuel one of my vehicles. I had a mask available since the governor has issued an order that ALL will wear a mask when out in public. Here where I live, some do and some don't. But at the gas station I pulled up to the third pump in line and at the middle pump there was three women fueling a car. One was fueling the car. One was washing the windshield. One was washing the rear window. One had on a mask. One did not. the one fueling the car had a mask. It was dangling from one ear. A study in contrast.
As we go into grocery stores, all require a mask, but in some stores, even though the employees are wearing them, about 50 % of the customers are. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
AND FINALLY. I hear that this virus is just a ploy to ruin President Trump. Nothing else worked, so lets unleash this virus. That is so ridiculous as to be laughable. However, I will say this. IF SUCH were the case, and it could be proven ( it's not and it can't) those who unleashed this virus on the world killing the economy of dozens of countries not to mention killing hundreds of thousands of people, jail time for those who did this would be too kind.
AND THAT'S THE VIEW FROM THE DITCH BANK
