2. Wear a mask, social distance, sanitize

Don't ride in elevators, don't dine out, do take walks and get fresh air and sunshine.
Stay calm, busy, productive, well hydrated, eating well-rounded healthy diet. Lol
A few suggestions or reminders on how to improve your chances of being safe.

Even as numbers rise, a few are trying to figure out patterns and sources of infection.

School openings
Family gatherings
Rally's, including Sturgis, rose garden and others
Religious services
Funerals and weddings
Fatigue from precautions!
Not wearing masks
Not social distancing

These are the major causes of the rise.
If I stick to the protocol, keep up my guard, I feel safe. I work in a retail setting 2- 3 days a week.
The rise is real, but still only a drop in the bucket compared with the population.

I think, sadly, that those not wearing masks are catching it and spreading it for the most part. And the return to schools, and the openings that bring people out when they should stay home are adding to it. But I'm not around those people, are you? And I always wear a mask. I'd suggest you stick with the program, and chances are good you won't catch it. No risky behavior!

Sadly, too many revert to pre-covid behavior the minute restrictions are lifted. Restaurants open? The ones that go are much more at risk. Masks no longer mandatory? We still need to wear them!

I hope you can relax and maintain the practices that have kept you safe so far!
