        I second that, we are the ones that have been keeping ourselves safe. What, kept us safe with a box of food and and giving away the stimulus money to people with a banana tree and a rusty boat engine sitting in a pile of overgrown grass in their yard?

    The two (2) cases are only two that they are aware of. Many people who suspect that they might have the virus are not going to get tested in order to avoid being held in quarantine and losing pay. Do not be fooled into thinking that only two persons are infected and that all is well. I cannot be the only person who is aware that persons are becoming very complacent. Continue to treat every situation like everyone is infected because the truth is that you do not know. Believe me, many, many persons are infected. Do not be caught unaware. Wear your mask even if no one is doing it. Wash your hands often and keep them out of your eyes, nose and mouth. Social distance. Get vaccinated as another layer of protection. Do what you can to survive this virus. Stay safe.
