...just read about 53 new cases reported on Saturday at an assisted living facility. People act like the emergency is over: stores no longer wiping carts or requiring social distancing; half the folks not wearing masks; I don't understand how they can be so stupid. If they were worried about contracting the virus when there were 19 cases in the county, why are they so cavalier when there are now over 300?

Stupidity is all I can think of.
