Social
Distancing is simple for people that have any common sense. I saw an interview with someone from a
mid-western state that passed the peak of the COVID-19 crisis and never issued
a stay at home warning. When asked why
they had been so successful, the answer was “common sense.” Too bad more people don’t use common
sense.
Some
people have attended many outdoor events like Mardi gras. Maybe they thought they were safe because it
was outdoors. Now New
Orleans
I
heard New York
Not
too long ago that same mayor said it was okay to attend a large Chinese
festival. How did that work out?
I was
at Wal-Mart for some things we needed. I
saw entire families there with their kids.
One woman was in the line for prescriptions with young kids. She and the kids were coughing. How dumb can people be?

and I like to play bridge. The senior
center where we play is closed and it would be too large a group to be safe by
any standards. We don’t even play with
another couple anymore. Four people
sitting directly across from each other for several hours is risky. The cards can also carry a lot of germs.
Many
people are off work and think it is a vacation.
Some travel to a vacation home.
These people should bring all their provisions with them and sequester
themselves for fourteen days before going out in the community. Travel spreads the virus.
I
don’t think people need to totally quarantine themselves unless they have been
traveling, but they need to use some common sense, a quality rapidly
diminishing in out country.
God bless President
Trump and guide him to make America
Trump
did not bring division. Division brought
Trump.
If you don’t see that, then you’re
part of the problem.

Totally agree with this week’s blog highlighting the value of common sense. Sure, there are always a few local examples to the contrary, but here in the Midwest we can expect the majority to be responsible for their own and the safety of others. Maybe the outliers don’t watch enough TV or get their news from channels that downplay the severity of this pandemic.
ReplyDeleteThere is plenty of common sense among individual residents across the states of North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa, despite the lack of leadership on the part of the Governors of those states. The refusal of those Governors to announce “stay at home orders” in an effort to slow the spread of virus and protect their hospital capacity is irresponsible. The rural areas of those states may be OK, but the urban populations in Omaha, Lincoln, Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Sioux Falls, Fargo and others can expect significant outbreaks. It does not have to happen.
As for the common sense of Wisconsin holding an election in the middle of a pandemic, there simply is not any sense to it. The state legislature majority and the state supreme court majority are to blame for overriding the Governor’s executive order. Those who vote today are putting themselves and poll watchers unnecessarily at risk. There is no urgency in having an election now versus June when it would be safer for all. It’s a shame it had to happen.
