https://atlanta.eater.com/2020/6/22/21299372/atlanta-restaurants-bars-closed-temporarily-positive-covid19-coronavirus-employees?fbclid=IwAR1yb98fl_KypvulJ9VT-kSZbCbQ0cv0o9sXh8rofZysUy4_72v0jN7tPvY

That's a list of local restaurants that had employees testing positive or being symptomatic.

I see this as a harbinger of how CFB teams will fare, and students, etc.

The wife and I went out to dinner on Saturday. It was our first real dinner date since we got the puppy in January. We didn't go out at first because we didn't want to leave him too often, and we didn't go out later because the world shut down.

Overall the restaurant was doing things well. Everyone working was masked, they required reservations and I saw them turn away a couple who didn't have a reservation despite there being open tables (i.e. they were forcing distancing). Everyone who came in was masked until seated. We were prepared to turn around and skip our reservation if we walked in and weren't happy with their precautions. And even better; we ended up getting seated outdoors on the patio.

Because we cook at home so often (and well), I wanted to make sure it was special. I'm not breaking quarantine for Olive Garden. So we went to the nice seafood/brewery restaurant where we had our wedding reception 2 years go after getting married in Europe. I ordered the Crab Stuffed Shrimp Christopher, and it was so delicious it very well might have been worth catching COVID lol...

I quit smoking the occasional cigar on the golf course when COVID broke in March

my friends that do smoke cigarettes haven't seemed to cut down at all.
because they can't

I haven't heard warnings from doctors or politicians or "experts" about increased risk because of smoking.

all stats are regarding age

it does seem obvious to me, but I've also heard from some smokers that they've seen "studies" that tell that smokers aren't at more risk because the virus likes to attach to something in the lungs that is already damaged by smoking.  Probably some misinformation IMO. yes, some B.S. to make them feel better, because they can't stop smoking

Didn't you tell the internet that you've had a cough?

My brother-in-law was tested yesterday, in Chandler. Said it was no problem at all.
I'm not going to lie just to get tested.  I hope your bro didn't, either.  If there are symptomatic/very high risk people needing to get tested, that's who should be getting tested.  

I'm doing it as a precautionary measure to help determine if I should travel or not.  I just don't think I'll go - it'd be from one hotspot to another (AZ>FL).

I know, but they have tried, dozens of times.  They are addicted.

I'd laugh, but I'm afraid of how many here believe this as being genuine.

I'm 57 years old, most of my male friends started smoking in high school.  Most of them still do.

My father quit smoking when I was a teenager, twice.

it's rough

but, I encourage anyone to keep trying, it's worth it.

There is a glut of available appointments. Everyone coughs, every day. I don't know why CVS is asking those questions. The hospital where I went asked nothing. Anyone can go, any time.

there are distinct advantages to living in a flyover state

COVID isn't a big concern here

I see very few masks, probably less than 10% of the people I see out are wearing them

but, I'm only going to the golf course, (no one wearing them 0%), the bar, (less than 5%), gas station (5%), and grocery store (was about 50%, down to 30-40%)

no on I work with wears one, unless they go into a customer's house and are asked to wear one.  Very few.
