I don't agree with that at all, but I understand the sentiment. I could post dozens of videos of people literally coughing on people when being asked to wear a mask.

I am down at the beach for the week and was at a Publix and i'd say 10% are wearing masks, and publix is doing what they can to help people social distance with one lane aisles, pretty much everyone was doing their part, and of course this one 50+ or so lady comes up an aisle the wrong way and another lady also about 50 very politely says, you are coming up the wrong way. This 50+ year old lady simply lost her mind and started yelling at her that she can walk anyway she wants and no one is going to tell her which way to walk up a grocery aisle.

It was bizarre. Two different people simply said "What is wrong with you" and I said "we are all doing our best here, do your very small part"

It has bothered me ever since, I simply don't understand doing something that may have the smallest of impacts to help stop the spread of this shit. No one is asking her to donate blood, plasma or volunteer at a local food bank, simply walk one way down an aisle. That's it. Our parents were drafted into Vietnam. Our grandparents signed up as fast as possible to fight in the jungles of japan and die in Europe. They did so aggressively. People my age signed up to fight a war against terror. Now everyone is being asked to do things like wear a mask and walk one way down an aisle, and they are acting as if they are being asked to live in 1950's Russia.

I just don't understand it. This goes against everything we are as Americans. We help strangers on the side of the road. We donate to food banks, hurricane relief and other natural disasters relief funds, having no clue who the victims are, but we always just help blindly. Here, we are simply being asked to do a few things to help stop the spread of a deadly disease. I don't like wearing a mask, I don't like going one way on certain food aisles, and I don't like that going to a restaurant feels like I'm risking my life, I hate these things, but I love my community more.

I don't know any posters on this board by name, a few may know my name. If there was a post by Homedog, Hooopsdawg, msstate7 or even our main man Shotgundawg announcing that their car had broken down on Highway 603 and wanted to know who to call, and If I saw it, i'd get in my car and go help. I would hope others near the area would too.

I am sorry for rambling, but I hope more people are taking this serious than the people at the beach are or that this virus is being overrated like the bears teams coming off an inflated recruiting class.
