You are supporting the don't wear a mask crowd with your rambling.  We all have our own feelings and level of support and caring on this issue.  None are completely right or completely wrong.

Here is my 2 cents. If the store has a policy that requires me to wear a mask. I will wear a mask. If the store does not have a policy to not wear a mask I will choose not to wear a mask. I still don't know what to believe on the mask thing. At one point they said it did no good. Then some changed their tune and said it may help, but still no agreement on the issue.  :crazy: That is my 2 cents.

Same here, JB! I didn't realize it until looking into it yday that as of 4/23 there was 6 states & 3 major cities that were requiring masks. The article I read, CNN , said that not all were strictly enforcing it though. I'll bet not every business in those places are furnishing masks for free. It was on the news this week that one of those cities, Miami, opened their beaches back up over this last weekend & so many of the people weren't wearing masks that the locals :police: approached some of them to tell them they need to wear them. The  :police: were met with so much hostility that the city shut the beaches back down. :crazy: :pouty:

I have no problem with the stores telling me that i need to wear a mask in their stores. Now when the government starts telling me that I need to wear a mask in public outside. Then they can kiss me big white  :moon:. !

Last night on the News the MN DNR was suggesting to fish local and Not go up north because of Social Distancing at the boat launches and other places.

First off, my boat is 17' long I'm sure two people have 6' feet to stay away from each other.  :rolleyes:

Second off, I stay in my SUV waiting until the person in the launch plays back and forth for 20mins trying to launch their boat! I don't need to get out and talk to the clown!  :bonk:

Third off, I don't fish 6' feet from another persons boat because I'm afraid of getting hit with a Beer bottle!  :mad1:

I think we're better off at the lake then at Menard's!  :doah:

it isnt about fishing, its about the gas stations, grociery stores, batit shops, restuants, one might spread or pick  the 19 on the way to fishing grounds.

Yes, plenty of mixed messages.

Resort owners in vacation land...  We feel your pain.  Go ahead and open your businesses with these restrictions and precautions...

Fishermen...  Stay close to home so we don't have outbreak hot spots popping up all over the state.

So what...?  Resorts are supposed to open for their clients from Backus and Hackensack?   :confused:

Guess we'll find out as GR was cookin today & it's only Tuesday, wait 'til Thursday & Friday. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks that we've been up & we didn't go in to town until Thursday that week, they had 2 cashiers runnin at L & M that day & they had at least 6, maybe 8 today. Wally World, Home Depot, & Aldi's were about the same.  :crazy: The people wearin masks was ~ 1/2 IMO as there was the 1st time we were in town. Out of state plates & boats on the road were rare too.

Having spent time in GR and closer to the cities, it seems to me that the GR people were taking this more seriously. Lots more people in masks at the grocery stores. I was in the cities on Easter Sunday and went to Hy Vee Brooklyn Park— lots of unmasked people blocking aisles and crowding around areas like the meat counter and deli. I’m hoping that the GR people don’t relax too much.
