I am seriously contemplating moving to another state, I don't think I can bear to watch. I planned to live out the rest of my days here but I may have to go to a blue state to relieve some serious stress. It really is a dilemma.
My county is only getting more ignorant. Every time I go out, like today, I see fewer people doing anything to avoid getting infected, nothing when given a choice. I was in a non-food store for a few minutes and nobody was wearing a mask and one guy took his mask off when he walked in.
I went to town to shop for groceries and town was packed, everything that was open was full. I couldn't go to the grocery store, the parking lot was full, and I checked three times over two hours. I ended up making a 70 mile round trip for three items at the healthfood store. There's no place to hang out while waiting. I guess I'll just be there at opening tomorrow or just before closing. Or I can get a couple things for a 60% mark up from an already 20% markup at the mercantile down at the river and go to town after Thursday.
I don't see where people aren't planning to go ahead as usual and ignore precautions. Our county is at 97% risk and the one hospital is full. 25 beds, 2 ICU. That's what we have for the whole county. And all the temporary visitors seem to be plentiful so, once I get my groceries, I am not going anywhere.
