We are quickly reaching the point that driving to the
restaurant is more dangerous than going in, mask or not.
BULL****.

What are the annual deaths from all auto accidents in the US, 40K?
We have 500K dead from Covid in one year, we're adding to that at the
rate of 1K+ per day and Covid is now increasing again in 13 states.

Look at who died and lets reframe the question.
95% of the covid deaths involved people, mostly old people with
serious co morbidities. A good percentage of them were in nursing
homes, not out on the road.
If you are a reasonably healthy person and you drive to a restaurant
that is using any decent health and safety protocol, which is more
dangerous?

I also notice that some of the states with the worst resurgence of
cases are still locked down. Michigan is a good start on that but New
Jersey is running pretty tight too. Hawaii is even harder to explain.
The worst states reported tonight on NBC were Maine, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota and Idaho.


I do expect we might see more cases here but with so many people from
those hot spots coming here it is not surprising.
