The mental health factor of this is not lost on me either. It's a very serious feeling to be forced into another lock-down. The first one was hard enough, but a second could be devastating for many. While having a family skews my need for social/entertainment activities during this, those who are single honestly need them. I couldn't imagine how hard a lock-down and working in healthcare through all of this would be without a family to come home to. I didn't mean to rag on you about going out in previous posts, I am just asking you to go out and do it safely, with a mask.
I wish everyone would just take it seriously in this state. We are in big trouble if this is what the end of June is like. I never thought it would be this bad for hospitalizations this far into it here. Banner Good Sam, the biggest hospital in the state has 150 COVID patients. They've opened up 3 additional wings since the start of June to manage all of them. Just this week they also secured out of state nurses to help with staffing issues. It's not just beds, you need staff and equipment or the care sucks!!!

Thank you Lewdog. You've taken a load off my heart and your points were taken, and quite frankly it really bothered me that I upset you. And as I said in my rep, it, and the other times, wasn't as irresponsible as it sounded and that is my fault for it sounding like that.
Regarding the defiant ones, they are the Law and Order! types who are sitting right there breaking the law. And before somebody mentions the rioting, the Law and Order! types would be breaking the law regardless. Because of something very important to them.
It's part of what's got me all pissed off.
