So latest I've read is that in Pennsylvania you are now "encouraged" to wear a mask in the privacy of your own home.

God save the kids!

Amen.

I have not heard that but it wouldn't surprise me. We have a real nutcase for a health secretary. Pediatrician with some issues.

Pediatrician with some issues.

got one of those in my governor's house at the moment.

My son-in-law sent me the updated guidelines. You are correct sort of. If there are two or more households meeting in the same house, you are to wear masks. They have zero intention of enforcing it however. Same with all the other new craptastic things, they came up with. The want voluntary compliance. Baaaaaaaaaa. I'm no sheep. They say deaths are going up again which is a load of crap, they've been going down for the past two weeks and they are no where near the max. Cases per day are even going down. They are four days behind which makes no sense but the last day of record had 4 deaths.

Had to wear a mask while hair was cut.

That came in here about a month or two ago, before that no mask. Just the barber. He said the people that told him the new rules have admitted not having any idea what's next or what's going on or why.

And now the numbers stopped making sense. I checked the Covid 19 tracker which show Pennsylvania with 108 new deaths when the Pennsylvania state tracker shows 8 with no day over 30 in the last week. So someone is cooking to books or under reporting. As the Covid 19 tracker is supposed to be getting data direct from the state which creates the state tracker, it would seem to be them.

Strange times we live in. My youngest daughter's husband is a peace officer that looks after homeless shelters. Every time a case is reported they claim to not feel well.
3 times in the last 4 months he self isolated for 14 days, why buy a cow when when you can milk it for for free.

I put on a suit and tie to go to my office in the basement work. Got tired of pajamas every day.
If this goes on another year, teleworking 90%+ of the time, I'll likely find a quiet cabin in the woods - there is no reason to be in the middle of this swamp running the rat-race if I don't have to show up to work. Cost of living is so high here compared to a cabin out west, I could fly in for the couple of in person meetings a year and still make out.
I'm thinking West Virginia. I'd prefer a nice quiet place where my kids can still to go to school. This online only school has been a disaster for my small kids.
