    @for the rest of. The folks who are affected didn’t have symptoms for probably a week or two before showing symptom. They could have picked up an air droplet after someone sneezed at the grocery store an hour before they got there or they could have got it off a hard surface and then rubbed their eye. Hard surfaces include door knobs, door handles, shopping carts, counters, credit card swipe machines, ATM’s, etc. Also, the covid 19 virus can live on a hard surface for days.
    Lots of ways to get it. Wash your hands and do what you can to avoid spreading it or getting it.

    Since the guidelines are so relaxed here the virus will continue to spread. Plenty of non essential establishments are open and people will continue to spread and drag this out . Publicly on Facebook you can search many businesses not deemed essential and they say they are open. What about is non essential employees forced to work out of fear of reprimand? When more innocent people contract the virus it’ll be the cities fault and the Sheriff for saying “ essentially nothing has changed”, that’s the narrative and it’s dangerous in a time line this.
