    Same shit, different day here. I'm 100% field based and visit multiple grocery stores a day until I hit my 40. Gotta make sure the stores are still safe and their cleaning chemicals are working.

    I'm tired.
    I work in grocery and I am worried my store is going to run out of cleaning supplies. Good luck!

    Dear lord, how many dead until everyone has lost someone and the idiots are convinced? Reopening at the height of the first wave is reckless and morally bankrupt. But hey, gotta keep the economy running on something, right?
    I think the experts said that coronavirus was going to start affecting rural areas and hit places that went for Trump. Only then will those people realize it is not a hoax.

    I think my company will be gaining a couple more accounts when this is all over due to another major chemical company not being able to keep up.

    I had corona for weeks. My (formerly RN) mom was worried I was going to die after I lost nearly 20 pounds in 10 days. She ordered me to the ER.

    My Trump supporting parents want everything to reopen.

    I don't believe there is any topic, whatsoever, on this planet or plane of existence, that Trump supporters will not support Trump on.

    Yeah Skitch, but you LIVED, you see. That's how we know it's not so bad and we should open everything.

    Good point. The cult mentality of the Trumpers is super strong. Btw Fox News keeps trying to get their viewership/Trump's base killed off by continuing to air footage of the protesters who argue we should reopen everything, and via some Fox personalities on Twitter. All to own the libs and not admit they were wrong, I guess.

    Starting work at 0400 today makes for a long day but a short week. Did some training at a major retailer’s local distribution center.

    As I work my way out of the cities today, I see fewer and fewer masks the farther from Minneapolis I get. Once the rural outbreaks kick in, hopefully the mask wearing will increase.

    Given his estate's infamous tightfistedness, I'm shocked it's doing this, but pretty sweet.

    Wisconsin Supreme Court over turned the stay at home order and people ran out and packed the bars. Totally a Wisconsin thing, but come on guys....

    World Health Organization says COVID-19 could be around forever, and a former government scientist said the window opportunity to fight it is closing.

    In-person social interaction was fun while it lasted.

    Now that I’ve had time to digest it, it is seriously bumming me out. The amount of work I’ve done with my customers on training, disinfecting, and what not while dodging people every day for the past couple months, sanitizing and disinfecting myself and my equipment after every fucking visit.

    If you need me, I’ll be playing RDR2, drinking a double (Scar double) dirty martini.

    Fuck you Wisconsin, stay out of my state.

    Don't get your hopes up.

    I work in rural areas almost exclusively. The farther away you get from the city, the more the attitude becomes "fuck your health, I care about my rights."

    Get groceries in my town, half wear masks (this is up big time from even couple weeks ago). Drive 25 min to more city area 90% wear masks.

    One thing is the same though, those not wearing masks look at you ANGRILY or roll their eyes.

    Wisconsin used to be a lot more saner than they are now. That's for sure.

    Weird how so many people who are the loudest about freedoms and rights fucking hate it when others practice freedoms that they don't agree with. Surely, if you are so gungho about rights, you shouldn't give a fuck about someone wearing a mask if they want to. I mean, if you are not going to be a snowflake cry-baby hypocrite about it.

    So a the Minnesota court destroyed the governor's credibility and removed the state's power to effect public behavior.

    What will they do when cases surge?

    I really don't understand what the hell they're thinking longer term.
