VIRUS: Remember 9/11

Like most of you, I am tired of the lockdown the state and country is in. I bring up 9/11 because how may people still remember it? Unfortunately, a lot of people soon forget what happened just a month ago.

So should we reopen the state with parameters, social distancing, wearing masks, etc.? Go to any store, see how that works? How many stores have more than 6 feet in-between their aisles? Hard to social distance. I would guess less than 25% of the people even wear a mask.

When we do open, I think people will forget about the virus and go back to normal, no masks, no social distancing. It would be nice if the stores required a mask to enter, but where do you buy the masks?

Unfortunately, I have no easy solution. I guess the point of this message is to remind people how easy we forget the past, until the next crisis.
