All I am saying is, be aware of what is happening immediately around you. And take proper action or precaution.

Like Crystal said, he has an entire regiment he has been following. Even, if it means separating himself from his parents. Tough I know, but it’s his practice. If it keeps him safe, thats all that matters.

He is using his personal wisdom. He is not being naive.

Sorry Crystal to put you on the stand.
Ok.

My family is following all the guidelines. What we are finding is 30-50%, depending on where you go, are not following guidelines to help keep us safe. Why do think so many choose not to follow the guidelines to protect us from them? How hard is it to stand 6ft. away and wear a mask?

We are a Christian family. We follow the teachings of the New Testament. The Bible is extremely informative. It says, “obey all laws, for they come from God himself”.

My wife gets so frustrated with me when, I take her out for a cruise in our E53. Because at some point, I am definitely going to lay into that truck something fierce. The smell of the methanol, the sound of the M54, it’s intoxicating! But for her, I am just breaking laws. She doesn’t care that it makes me feel better. She only cares that I follow the laws set, for operating a motor vehicle safely.

Now hear me out. I am not grossly violating traffic codes. (Ok, maybe once a year, by myself). But, the point is, to follow the laws (rules). I get it, but I am not able to do it all the time. I am not perfect.

This goes to your question why people cannot follow the guidelines. We’re human, we make mistakes. Some of us decide we’re going to break the rules. It’s human nature.

That is why I suggest, you take care of yourself at the highest level! Now one is going to take care of you, better than you!

Hah! Texas' attorney general is looking into San Antonio "over reaching" on its virus guidance, requirements, etc. Man, you gotta love (to hate) politicians. I can hear Abbott fuming in his office, "what?! A mayor and county judge have kept their area safer by adding to my guidance for the State?! How dare they?!"

We are taking care of ourselves. Just an observation of a sad demonstration of human behavior. A mistake is unintentional. Not wearing a mask is intentional. Do unto others---

That just goes to show you the dysfunction in our country at times. The president gives a particular order, a governor gives another, the mayor, and then the county judge. By the time those orders get to us, we’re left trying to figure out which one to follow.

Yeah bc, I hear you. Some people do unto others, and then when it’s done to them they have a fit.

I knew it was a matter of time! Investigations are starting up for stock liquidations prior to the crash. Some pretty high profile individuals are already being looked at.

It will all be swept under the rug. It's no secret to the American people that 2 sets of rules exist. One for the powerful and one for the rest of us.

Swine Flu started on pig farms in America. H1N1 was just a recurrence of Swine Flu a few years later. The virus that affected New York, New Jersey and for the most part America has been traced back to Europe and not China.
