Especially as it was a historic superspreader event in March and no changes have been made.
My boss recently called me and was pissed that I was going to Target instead of in the office doing face time, and I said "That's because Target is safer."

It isn’t terribly hard. My spouse works in healthcare. The professionals who do that for a living know how to wear PPE appropriately, and run almost risk free offices. The rest of us who are not trained in such practices should work from home, and when we go out, do exactly what you and I are doing.
The people who have a really tough slog are those who are not medically trained, and are required to work in close proximity. But I think that businesses are assiduously training these people and how to protect themselves now. And I think we should find a way to give them special stimulus money in exchange for the hazard they are undertaking.
I am also not adverse to implementation of a mask mandate. I don’t think the feds can legally do it, however, if the president simply demands it, most people will follow it. And the loss of those who will not will only increasee our aggregate national IQ.
