I am in Orlando - I went to Publix the other day and was alarmed that only about 1 in 10 people were wearing a mask and very few were doing social distancing. Do people think that this virus has magically disappeared?

All we can do is protect ourselves as best as we can at this point. Some people are IDIOTS.

I would guess 80% had masks today. Most I’ve seen to date.

This is too close for comfort, I am only one county above where this Publix incident happened. I still haven't forgotten Cesar Sayoc, and that happened in my county.

No one it seems but me are wearing masks (no good to me). But short sleeves and shorts, people are getting a lot of sun. It seems that people in the nursing homes, jails, prisons etc where people are cooped up are dying in large numbers.

I wondered why there were not large outbreaks after spring break in Florida and the Texas coast. If so we should start seeing a large blowup in the Southern Hemisphere soon.

They went home to many states across the country and spread it there.

See this simulation to see how quickly the people distributed from just one beach

I was selling a motorcycle for a VERY good price just to get rid of it. First guy who sent an email was the first to get it. We make plans for a date and time. He rings the door bell and I put on my mask and answer the door. He is not wearing a mask.. I don't know this guy from Adam.. I tell him the bike is in the back yard and to get his mask and I'll meet him back there. He goes absolutely BALLISTIC... The usual talking points come blurting out of his face.
Chinese plot, A true liberal hoax to take over "tRumps" government. Obama left us high and dry, Hillary trying to undermine the "truly" elected government etc.. I was waiting for
"BENGHAZI". After all this he still did not answer my question about where was his mask. I told him he was not coming in my house, on my property or buying my motorcycle unless he has a mask and cash... He goes off in a huff never to be seen again... good riddance.
Sold it the next day with no problems... Like I said, it must be in the South Florida water system.. "It's a conspiracy I tell you!! DeSantis has poised the water supply with stupid fluid"
HA!!

think. You stood firm, with your request that he wear a mask too, while on your property. He couldn't even handle your very reasonable request to wear a mask for perhaps 10 minutes or so, by the time you wrapped up the transaction? Pretty sad and pathetic. I hope you wiped down your front door and all, being that when you shut the front door, he probably spit all over your front door.

Good for you for standing up for your beliefs. You gained an admirer.

Unfortunately whenever you sell anything to the unknown public, you never know what you are going to get. Even when you try to filter through the time wasters, etc., it's still a gamble sometimes.

Take care.
