Combatting the virus and economic risk

[Jon Szanto]

No one is really abiding by the social distancing.

No, it isn't perfect compliance and there will be a price to pay for it; however, in our area it is far, far better than "no one". Every person that doesn't become infected and, therefore, every person that doesn't transmit, reduces the burden on the medical community in battling this pandemic. I can't imagine the courage for those people to go to work, knowing that their government has failed to protect them in a very foreseeable situation, and yet they choose to go and try to save lives while leaving their families at home.

I'm royally pissed off at the arrogant, selfish and stupid people who can't control themselves enough to self-isolate for a short time. I'm also getting pretty pissed-off at the rising tide of sacrificing an older generation on the altar of money. Mostly, I'm pissed at myself for ever thinking that this country was better than that.
