These types are the worst. Or the ones who wear just a bandana. 🙄

Apple Continues Store Closures Amid Covid-19 Spike, Now Shuttering 14 Locations in Florida

I got the flu last year. It was a 103 fever for a few days and two weeks of coughing and feeling super tired as well. Sucks to get sick but that's life.
Ah good ole politics. But back to the topic. What’s the date Apple starts closing down California stores?
around here it’s the “pull the mask all the way down so it’s completely below your chin, and will only be effective if you’ve had a tracheotomy” that grinds my gears.
If you fear infection then you can wear a mask. If you do, my wearing a mask is useless and redundant. Demanding everybody else wear a mask too is an overreach. Basically the only people who should be wearing masks are the elderly and the immunocompromised (as often happens with cancer treatments, transplants, certain steroids, and AIDS).
Wow, are we calling our country healthy because hey you are either dead or not. I don't want to be sick with this thing. I heard it can do really bad stuff to your lungs. I don't want that! It's like, "hey it's ok to have unprotected sex, you may get gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, but at least you won't die."
Since the risk of all disease is non-zero and there will likely always be COVID-infected individuals, when does this end?

Hello, have you heard of New York South?
Broward, Palm Beach, and to smaller extent, Miami-Dade county.

My goodness, why do these kind of threads bring out the worst in people.
Comparing it to the flu, being proud for not wearing a mask, bringing politics into it...sickening to read
The reason we’re doing the distancing and mask wearing is more for our parents and grandparents, and our friends with diabetes and heart problems, and underlying health conditions. Their health will never be the same once they get this virus even if they don’t die from it, which they are significantly more likely to.

Sooooo you’re a glass half empty guy. Enough people started doing the one thing that they should have been doing all along. Washing their hands. I see the fact that things did not get to the worse case scenario as a good thing. Enough people changed their habits (not you... definitely not you). Its a real odd flex to play gothca games with the fact that we were able to keep things relatively under control. (i say will all due respect to the 120k dead).
Check back in about 3-4 weeks. First cases spike, then the number in hospital cases spikes (we are starting to see this), then comes the deaths...
So let's say you don't believe in the severity or think its a government hoax, whether you care or not, REAL people have died. Sure, they are people you don't know but they are REAL people. I'm all for Thanos snapping the human race but if you REALLY care about the economy, you are NOT helping. So, put your pride to the side, put on a mask for the 20-30 mins you need to when shopping, go home, take off your mask, and enjoy your freedom at home!
You need to educate yourself on this with C19, last I saw close to 5 million people in the US will need to die before we get herd immunity, and unlike the Flu, there is no vaccine.
It’s a shame really. I had a 10 day vacation planned for Florida (Ft.Meyers Beach specifically), and given that it’s one the nations worst ‘hotspots‘ right now in the nation (Houston being a runner up), I can’t imagine even trying to venture into certain areas. Apple closing stores in general, is at least showing some type of prioritization to safeguard the employees, not just the general public.
More retailers probably will follow in Apple steps, especially there’s so much uncertainty moving forward, at what point you ‘draw the line‘ and say it’s not a choice anymore, it’s by force.

I’ve seen that too. Incredibly frustrating. The selfishness. Whew.
No, masks primarily prevent infected people from spreading the disease. The cloth masks we are wearing provide a small amount of protection against catching the disease, but the primary purpose is to prevent the wearer from spreading the disease.
The flu that can kill upward of 80,000 in the US with a vaccine?
There more than one report/study thas come out this past week that states you have no idea what you are talking about, everyone needs to be wearing masks.
Even propaganda king Facebook debunked this misinformation that pneumonia was being tallied instead of CV19. Dual causes death were recorded and will be rectified in 2021.
It's a free country! Do what you want but know that it's a free country to the rest of us as well. It's a two way street.
The spikes in cases has been going on for a couple of weeks..increases in related deaths will lag behind. Most people testing positive today aren’t also dying today.
Just curious.
Is closing stores, the economy, and life in general actually going to STOP CV19, or is it only going to prolong the amount of time it takes for this virus to course through the world's population?
Simple fact is, not every single person, business, or sector in the world is going to simultaneously stop dead in its tracks and keep the virus from emerging from individual homes, business, or persons.
Staying home and wearing masks is closer to an example of a smoldering forest fire(which can burn underground for months undetected) than anything.
