Today I ventured-out for the first time in 10-days to take my dog to vet and get 2-weeks of groceries while out. Traffic seemed like "normal". Most people were using their heads, keeping a distance and wearing masks in stores. At Walmart (Keyser, WV, USA), after buying groceries, I asked an older employee standing near Customer Service if Walmart would be selling proper face masks soon because I noted in Maryland (10-miles away) they'll be requiring them to be worn in all stores and public places starting tomorrow (she had no idea). I also noted she appeared to be about the only employee in the giant store that didn't have one (they were all different, some home-made, so Walmart wasn't supplying them). She said she didn't need one because the Lord was taking care of her and that anyone with Faith in the Lord would be just fine with sufficient prayers. If they weren't praying enough it would be their own fault and masks wouldn't help them.

I sure hope that's not Walmart's policy. I guess the 30,000 US deaths and 700,000+ that have gotten very sick from this must not have been praying hard enough. Get on your knees folks... word is you'll be just fine. But I'll put my faith in proper masks. What do you think... will there be more deaths within the religious groups and nutty gun-toting Republicans, or will the big man in the sky save them all? Would love to see figures for that in about a year. Maybe we'll find out on Election Day in November.
