Friend who is San Fran ER doctor that has raged balls deep in the Cov19 scene now for months said at this point it looks like in order to contract this outdoors someone basically needs to sneeze in your face

I tried a buff around my neck this week. It can go up when I pass people. Still, pretty uncomfortable.

NC Governor shut down this race track as an imminent hazard after they had 3 races in May and June and doubled their county's COVID cases. They put up the sign below to claim they were protesting, but they charged admission.
