You know who is not spreading Covid 19? The people staying home.

Everyone else going out because they are bored or don’t buy into the pandemic? They are the problem.
I know what you're saying but there are some exceptions.

Some people work in fields where they don't come into contact with the general population. (I speak from experience).

Also - sometimes it is necessary to go out and get provisions, goods, and materials to sustain a reasonable level of existence. Today I had to go buy a washing machine because my old one still wasn't working despite several repair attempts.

Yesterday I picked up provisions for my Mom who stopped driving over a year ago. She's 97 years old and probably wouldn't be able to use a delivery company due to the level of logistical thinking involved. She's not off her rocker but is limited when it comes to new fangled technology.

I live on a barrier island and can walk 2 blocks to the beach which is wide open and not at all crowded - now that they prohibited vehicles. Why stay home when I can get recreation via surfing, biking, and walking?

And there are many who live in the great wide open and have access to all the recreational activities available for those in that circumstance. Like Skip Newsom (and others) who posts thier pics here:

On the flip side there are some who, as you said, just want to go somewhere to go somewhere and don't have the common sense to understand what is as stake.

A month from now things will be better but hells bells right now there's a lot of cray cray going on for sure.....but certainly one size does not fit all when it comes to stay home or not stay home.
