But, it will all be for naught if everyone takes of their masks, hangs out at parties, etc. I asked our outgoing house manager last week if she'd heard of any members or parents who were nervous about coming back and she said, "oh no, everyone's over it and they just want to get back." That's exactly what I'm afraid of....
Exactly. My Twitter feed was full of news networks reporting beach parties, house parties and buffet style cookouts this past weekend, from locations all over the country. The commitment has to be there. I mean they won’t be able to even trace it if an outbreak happens.

School should be online this fall, if not for the entire year. Rush should be virtual. Until people realize we're still in Phase 1 - as Dr. Fauci reminded all this week - we'll continue to see spread and deaths. College campuses are the perfect storm - students who won't distance, won't wear masks unless required (classes) and older faculty/staff...then kids take the disease home to mom, dad, sibling and grandparents. Collateral damage at a mass level.

Life isn't going back to pre-Covid style - not for a few years and I'd bet there are some ways in which we'll never return to pre-Covid living.. Read an article today where a scientist from Johns Hopkins said we'll need to wear masks for at least a FEW years. Long haul unless we want the country to continue to shut down, more people die, global (and national) travel limited to the Nth degree, etc. It's getting ugly. I have no patience for those who refuse to wear a mask unless it's truly medically indicated. Companies everywhere are having to change how they do business, colleges and schools need to as well to avoid spread.

I'm appalled at the governors who've used a mocking tone to talk about New York City saying "we don't have that problem", who won't enforce wearing a mask and now have 'the problem' growing like wildfire. People who think masks are a political weapon. Want to see this insanity in action? Google "Palm Beach County hearing on masks" and watch your jaw drop so fast you won't know what hit you. Women calling the mask message and doctors "evil" and saying "we'll do citizen arrests on anyone who tries to make us wear one." Chilling.

And...now we know it can be travel via airborne droplets:
