@JASFLALMT; I'm realizing that's probably the main detractor from a quick recovery....people!
California, and specifically L.A., is making it easy as possible for people to do the right thing, and it's still not really taking hold. We have free testing, free masks, free food and basically free money for anyone without a job.
But the beach and park areas a now full of people without masks, not distancing, and the 'deniers' are taking hold here. Even with a vaccine, there's another set of deniers who can screw that up by refusing vaccination, so I am losing hope in any sort of return to normal for MSing, or the country, at any time in the near future.
The 'New Normal' has little little to offer me in terms of MSing. After 7 weeks of sheltering at home and cooking for myself, I was forced to venture out this weekend. Got food from a restaurant, stayed at a hotel and no MSC will be able to pay me enough money to do that for work in this new world. It's a frightening and unsafe experience, because of....people! None of the rules are being followed or enforced, and we are still in the infancy of re-opening. Prepare for life in a bubble...
@Flash; I do the same thing by hanging my mask from the rear-view mirror in the car. It's an advantage to have in sunny locations and always on hand when picking up and dropping off items.
