COVID precautions

There are various levels of masking at the grocery store, at different times. Anywhere from most of the people wearing them to most of the people not. The last time I was there, 80% of the women were wearing them, and 80% of the men weren't. That was the first time I'd forgotten my mask when going out.

We went to my brother-in-law's visitation last night. The funeral home was enforcing distancing. Only ten people in the place at a time. This meant only three or four visitors at a time. My dad and stepmom, and Cindy and I were the only ones with masks. Cindy was the only one who kept hers on outside (we waited for half an hour). I was surprised that my sister and the family didn't have them on, and that though they weren't doing hugs (I think), they were close to people.

People are starting to get together socially, but as far as i can tell, most people are keeping some distance, and meeting outdoors. At least, the people I've been talking with. The whole country was laughing at our state for rushing out to the bars as soon as the court overturned the governor's "safer at home" rule.
