Yup. I remember seeing the movies there with my son when he visited. Nice little town.

Data lacking to recommend broad mask use
We do not recommend requiring the general public who do not have symptoms of COVID-19-like illness to routinely wear cloth or surgical masks because:
- There is no scientific evidence they are effective in reducing the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission
- Their use may result in those wearing the masks to relax other distancing efforts because they have a sense of protection
- We need to preserve the supply of surgical masks for at-risk healthcare workers.

No, You Do Not Need Face Masks To Prevent Coronavirus—They Might Increase Your Infection Risk
And if you already have masks, should you wear them when you’re out?
No.
Even if there are COVID cases in your community?
Even if there are cases next door, the answer is no, you do NOT need to get or wear any face masks—surgical masks, “N95 masks,” respirator masks, or anything else—to protect yourself against the coronavirus. Not only do you not need them, you shouldn’t wear them, according to infection prevention specialist Eli Perencevich, MD, a professor of medicine and epidemiology at the University of Iowa’s College of Medicine.
“The average healthy person does not need to have a mask, and they shouldn’t be wearing masks,” Dr. Perencevich said. “There’s no evidence that wearing masks on healthy people will protect them. They wear them incorrectly, and they can increase the risk of infection because they’re touching their face more often.”
But even if you know what you’re doing and you tie your hands behind your back, you still don’t need to wear a mask.

The third big Fed bill to with one action to help small businesses keep people employed is 880 pages long. In politics and running a govt the more words used the worse it is. Too many words hide all the legalese the billion lawyers in this country like to use. We are starting to see the problems in this bill. Why did the PPP small business employment fund run out of $350 billion dollars so quickly: one example - Shake Shack must be a publicly held company because it sold stock to raise $150 BUT IT was also given $10 million from the CARES PPP fund.
Shake Shack was hounded in the media and announced they would give back the $10 million.
Wow, $10 million can keep the employees of a lot of small bars, restaurants, and privately owned businesses in their paid jobs. This CARES Act could have been much fewer pages with much better rules. Shake Shack did $600 million in revenue and they are not a small business.

Shake Shack is one of the most popular burger chains in the world, operating more than 200 restaurants across various countries, and last year making nearly $595 million in revenue.
In a statement posted to LinkedIn Sunday night, chairman Danny Meyer and CEO Randy Garutti explained that while their company qualified to receive assistance as part of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), they had no idea that the fund would run out in less than two weeks, and are returning their loan to help businesses that need the money more.

- Shake Shack is returning the $10 million US government loan it received as part of the coronavirus stimulus package after facing criticism for taking money meant for struggling small businesses.
- Less than two weeks after the Paycheck Protection Program was introduced, the government department in charge ran out of money, and small business owners complained about being frozen out of the package.
- Shake Shack operates more than 200 locations around the world, employs thousands, and last year made nearly $595 million in revenue.
- The decision to return the check also came two days after the company raised $150 million in a private equity offering.

Harvard University, already supported by a massive $41 billion endowment, is getting nearly $9 million in taxpayer aid from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, the U.S. Department of Education announced.
Harvard has $41 billion dollars they could use in emergency conditions with some rule changes to pay their employees salaries while close but they grab $8.7 million meant for small businesses.
Terrible and this will hurt people

So the last two examples I posted is a total of $18.7 million dollars. Let's take $30,000 a year income as an average for workers who are in financial trouble and need help. So to help these people over 6 months $15000 is needed per person. That money would give almost 1300 people money to spend and keep them employed for 6 months rather than the money going in the pockets of big businesses.

Because Harvard needs the money.
Give the $9 million and however more $millions given to wealthy organizations that don't need it to the children pointed out by the UN who are missing meals or could fall into more poverty.

Yeah this is bullshit, give the money to those that really need it!
What Shake Shack did is incredible, hopefully others follow their lead.

Neither of these studies used zinc or z-pack along with the drug. That's been the prescription touted as working so well. Despite not using zinc or z-pack, more patients recovered versus the other methods. Looks like these were setup to fail. Interesting
