Also interesting that Mexico's infection curve has not yet peaked. :(


Neither has the US, and that's puzzling. NY has peaked but other states are making up for those numbers.


Puzzling? Hardly. That's what happens when people ignore isolation directives, flock to the beaches, hold anti-lockdown rallies, insist on gathering at church, and think they're immune because they're washed in the blood of Jesus.

Preaching to the sheep here, no one else. Opinions expressed here are no different than opinions trickling down from the government. Smells like facism and that stinks.

It's a Jungle up HERE


The "relaxed" attitudes among the herding masses coupled with the "first Sunday of the month" made yesterday's essential trip to Walmart an adventure to be avoided again whenever possible.

The flood of customers was exacerbated by their being funneled (for staff convenience) through the only open entrance/exit and the congestion resulted in the usual pushing/shoving to be expected. Maintaining ANY distance was a challenge and resulted (for me) in one incident involving an old Crone trying to push past in the aisle. The checkout area was a mass of overfilled baskets with distancing nonexistent.

The one bright spot resulted from my vocal (and a bit aggressive) attempts to maintain distancing from those around me.

Likely concerned over the possibility of a deteriorating situation, one of the supervisory personnel patrolling the registers came up to me and said "step over there (one of the express lanes all closed) and I'll check you out".

Learned a lesson there. If you're thought to be a little bit crazy, it often works out.

I already knew that the idea people were going to act responsibly on their own was a joke that only a Moron would believe . Like any animal, control is achieved through threat.

Yesterday merely reaffirmed that.

I live in Chula Vista. Been to our local Costco and Home Depot. I have not noticed any pushy behavior at all. Everything has been very orderly. My last trip to Costco had a line half way around the building to get in no incidents occurred in line. Everyone seems to see what is happening and is cooperating. Same at Home Depot.

Last week, Dana Point Costco, 7am senior shopping for an hour, before normal opening at 9am. Got there at 6:45am, line was 2 blocks long, everyone in masks, except me. Entrance channeled everyone past the pallets of TP which everyone shopping cart got a case of.

I've never seen Costco so crowded. My mask was pulled down under my chin, a geezer says to me ''that mask isn't going to do you any good if you're not wearing it properly.''

Why would you have a mask and not wear it properly? Kinda retarded:lol:.

Crazy Scheisse Shopping


With the demand for Ventilators assuaged, it appears that the time has come for the DC Jefe to invoke the Defense Production Act and set GM, Ford, etc. to producing TOILET PAPER since it appears that the demand will NEVER be satisfied otherwise.

We have toilet paper in the most of the grocery stores here now but they limit it to one package per customer.

Carry a mask for when it's required for entry somewhere (O'Reilly's in San Clemente). It was not a requirement at Costco at that time.

Don't care what people think about wearing masks. And I don't believe everything coming out of the media. Apparently, some here do.

Live your life and don't worry about me. I'm fine so far. I'll keep you posted.

I was there a couple weeks ago. All very civilized- carts are sterilized, people are maintaining distance, staff and most customers wearing masks and distancing, no pushing or shoving.

Nice that you're fine. It isn't all about you. The purpose of wearing a mask is to protect others from your exhaled breath, the particles of which can hang in the air for a few hours. It's called social responsibility, but obviously you have no concern for your fellow human beings, your "right" to do whatever you please being the deciding factor.
