I see young kids in places like stores wearing masks and they seem quite OK with it, like having a backpack or a hat, this is what we do, no big deal go ahead and play or shop or whatever we are here for. I am reminded of my observation that people who need glasses from a young age tolerate it a lot better than those of us who don’t need glasses until we turn 50.
On the other hand, there are some photos circulating of high school reopening in states like Georgia that are quite frightening, I hope this is just social media taking things out of context. I understand at that age the peer pressure to not be uncool, but if this is really going on all over the place, we have an experiment going on and may not like the results. Maybe we will discover that teenagers don’t transmit the virus, but so far, magical thinking hasn’t worked out so good.

But if young people keep acting like idiots, maybe they don’t have that many years after all. If the virus doesn’t get them, some other stupid stunt will. Plus they will have enjoyed their short lives, with all the partying. Grumble, grumble.

Illinois 7 day positive results average went from 4% positive to 3.9% positive yesterday. So I guess that's good news. But reports are a majority of new cases are from college age kids coming back to campuses and partying.

The total numbers don't mean anything. Here in Illinois, we're sitting at ~4% positive for the last week, but 4.6% positive yesterday, we were at 2.8% positive a month ago. I think some of the 'bad' states are upwards of 10% positive. On 8/4/2020 10:29 AM, ch...@wbmfg.com <mailto:ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: Yeahbut it isn’t looking terrific yet. It has flattened.
