    I laughed a little because I find it hard to believe that you're seeing such great numbers at Walmart, of all places. Publix I believe because they typically build them in nicer areas and what with their generally higher prices I've always observed Publix attracting a more, uhmmm whats a nice way to put it, better off customer than what I see when I go to Walmarts.

    The last Walmart I got curbside from was in Hernando county, it was one of the very big ones, and there was someone in a yellow vest at the door under a tent type thing and behind crowd control barriers for entry/exit but from what I observed the only thing they were doing was correcting people who were trying to enter through the exit side. Anti-maskers were walking straight through didn't appear to be any acknowledgement from that employee.

    I frequent one of the smaller Walmart Neighborhood Markets in Pinnellas county for curbside, masking is a little better there its also a newer store in a nicer area if that would matter. Been to one in Pasco was about at that 5-10% range. Worst offender of all is in Citrus county where I have stopped at a number of times for curbside and if I had to hold my breath until a masked up shopper went in I'd pass out.

    I'd say you're quite lucky that your community is doing what need be done.

    I don't disagree with your. ahem, *social status* evaluations of both Publix and Wal-Mart. Weird to me too. You would expect lower compliance the further down the socio-economic ladder, however that has not been my observation yet.

    Agree that's bs.

    95%+ all day long at grocery. Those without a mask look weird, it's quite obvious

    Do the very simple, easily accomplished things you are being asked to do in order to prevent the spread of COVID and save the lives. For we shall all be judged and excuses such as 'muh rights' and 'the economy' shall not serve in the hereafter. That is my advice.

    Actually it is the opposite, those further down the socioeconomic ladder are used to kowtowing to the government for what they need, therefore they are much more likely to comply with whatever they are told to do to ensure they get their time sucking the government teat.

    The funniest behavior I observe here on the Treasure Coast is people walking down the sidewalk with no mask, then donning a mask to walk through the doorway of a restaurant, then removing the mask once inside. It's as though they think the virus is waiting the doorway to attack them. People are funny. :lol:

    I guess that matches up with my observations more than my own thoughts on the matter.

    Yeah but that's exactly what we're told to do. You don't need a mask outside, but once you enter a business you have to don one, and then when you are seated...uh the virus magically goes away and you can dine at your table without a mask.

    Don't question it! It's SCIENCE!

    You are correct, many Republicans and even more Democrats totally screwed the pooch because they thought that govt could actually control a virus. It seems that you are one who believes that govt knows what is best for you and your family. I am sorry for you that you got to that place.

    Oh boy, we've got the anti-vax conspiracy theories to come next.

    Doesn't sound like an anti-vaxxer to me.
    Sounds like she wants to decide based on the advice of the experts rather than the world's least trustworthy person.
    Hard to call that view anything other than sensible.
    After all, this is the man who pushed HQC when his experts warned against it and then asked his advisers if they should look into injecting disinfectants or introducing powerful UV light inside the body.
    Hardly surprising she doesn't want to take anything Trump tells her to don't you think?

    I have a great idea, you take it first, if you survive after a few years without some strange side effects, then we can test it on the rest of the population

    I'm not into beta testing vaccines with my health better they try it on someone else.

    And keep in mind if it does cause you complications, you are on your own, the manufacturers have been granted immunity against lawsuits.

    I'd rather have depending on my community to do what is intelligent, right, and moral, but that isn't happening. So I will turn to government, not because I think it always knows whats best but because I have no other choice. Doctors and scientists have pleaded with their knowledge, persons of faith have pleaded with God's word, yet our nation still has vast legions of people who refuse to help their own countrymen with measures that are so simple there really is no reaosn not to utilitze them unless one is just an ignorant slovenly fanatic hell bent on role-playing as some patriot in a grand revolutionary war against, what is effectively, preventing people from dying. So, yea, I turned to government because take one step past freedom and you arrive at anarchy and that's what these anti-maskers seem to think they can get away with. I'll be damned if i sit by and let them kill people over a face covering.

    I'm more surprised that she seemed to think Trump personally mixed up the vaccine in his own lab.

    Which in reality is what you are calling for, do not comply with mask requirements and off you will be hauled to never be seen again.

    Remember when saluting your new leader, boots snapped together at the heel and the right hand shall be raised high and flat toward the leader you supported.

    And don't forget to wear your armband, er, mask while doing so.

    I'm surprised you think she thinks that too.
    Nothing it what she said implied that she thought Trump made it himself.
    To be honest I'd be surprised if he could make a decent cup of tea never mind a vaccine.
