Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

The people in the highest at-risk groups will either have to remain locked down for a very long time, or make the decision that they're simply willing to take the risk in order to live a normal life.

My parents are certainly at-risk, and once I finally convinced them this wasn't a hoax, they've been diligent about distancing.  But there is zero chance they will live their lives that way.  In another month or so, as things reopen, I have no doubt that they're going to go back to being out and about.  They'll wear masks when appropriate, I suspect.  They'll distance at whatever is appropriate for the venue/timing.  But they're not going to stay locked down.  They don't want to live their lives that way, and they'll be willing to assume the risks. 

It'll totally suck if they catch it and it harms them.  It will also totally suck if my mom's cancer comes back and THAT harms her.  Life is full of risks, and grown adults can make decisions for themselves.

Wearing a mask does not protect you from infection to a significant degree.  That isn't its purpose.

Yes-- pretty sure we all know that.

Although an N95 actually does protect the wearer.  But those aren't widely available.  Perhaps they will be in the future.

An N95 can provide some protections IFF it is FITTED and WORN PROPERLY.

It is NOT some failsafe item everyone can use and be protected, at all.

Nobody ever said that.  I'm not sure why you're tilting at windmills here...

I wish we could insert "good" into that sentence...but we can't.

Restaurants were open for indoor seating in Tennessee and Georgia. They were not in Illinois or Kentucky, and they are not in Florida. I think Florida opens for socially distant outdoor seating only, tomorrow. We did not eat in any restaurants on the way down. We opted for take out.

Some restaurants in Georgia are open.  Very few around me are.  I know Waffle House opened with separated seating.  

I'd be fine with outdoor dining with separated tables.  The weather is very nice here in May.  I just checked and Atmosphere is closed totally still.  Three owners I chatted with say they may open mid-May inside dining.

We're been getting takeout for lunch several times a week and eating in the park at a table in the sun.  There aren't many people in that part of the park, it's a bit secluded despite having a nice sitting area and grassy areas.  Most folks go to the larger lawn areas to the south.
