No - there isn't sufficient social distancing and mask usage, and testing and quarantine. That's the problem. There are several ways to get COVID19. It's not that complicated.

I live in a very compliant area, if the precautions were working I would expect to see a lower infection rate.

Instead of masks we probably should have just shut down all the walmarts. I hadn't been there until last night. People were wearing masks but everyone was packed in there and I didn't see employees disinfecting anything. Real wtf moment last night seeing that. I can't imagine another business getting away with that.

It's so bizzare watching 'public freakouts' at places like Walmart. That place is a magnet for crazy. In their defense, though, this is what happens when income inequality is so severe that corporations like Walmart and Amazon make billions while their employees live on food stamps. It costs us, the tax payers, to allow businesses the size of Walmart and Amazon (and Facebook) to exist, not to mention all of the small businesses that ahve closed. But I digress. If I might pick one argument here, it's the Walmart comment that got me. If only Walmarts were better managed, and paid a living wage. Also, the poorest people are suffering the most this year. God bless...

This actually makes sense. I agree with all of it.

Where are the McDonald's super-spreaders? Have you ever worked fast-food? They aren't following your precious rules.

If Walmart and McDonald's were super spreaders I'm not sure anyone would be allowed to officially say so. Anything cooked shouldn't be a problem if they are doing basic food safety like they should be anyways.

If this were a real pandemic, all the people eating at McDonalds should be getting sick. They never wear their masks, I know for a fact hundreds of stores aren't even enforcing you wearing it over your mouth, or having it on you. Every speedway I've been into has been the same. Why do we only hear about weddings spreading the virus? Or Thanksgiving dinners? But NEVER McDonald's or burger king, or any of these shitty low tier places.

I would put BK a notch above McDonalds. I won't eat at the latter but a flame broiled mustard whopper is pretty tasty.

It makes a certain amount of sense, holiday and wedding get togethers have people coming from all over -- and drinking. I didn't think it was a great idea for my wife to go to her grandmother's funeral, since the people not only came from 4 different states, our state is across the country from the others. There was a lot of potential to spread something. Nobody got sick though. And grandma died from a stroke, not covid. 92 years, that's pretty impressive.

But NEVER McDonald's or burger king, or any of these shitty low tier places.

Again though, that's big money. McD's could be serving up covid burgers with a side of space aids and I don't know that anyone would report on it.

On an aside, I don't get how supposedly poor people eat every goddamned meal at McD's. Are they living off the dollar menu? Even $3-$5 every meal per person adds up. On the high end of that would be equivalent to buying $400 of groceries per person per month.
