Today we went to Champaign (by U of I) to shop for groceries since they have better stores. The store we were in was in full swing, but we saw just one 60-ish couple not wearing masks. Everyone else in the store was and the cashiers we really good about doing a full wipe down between customers. Back home I had to run to the local hardware store to grab some ant traps (that time of year) and I was the only person in the store wearing a mask. That's why this county can't go a day without a handful of new cases.

You should see FL.
