I watched the 40s or 50s couple with their jaws set in typical (coronavirus is a Democratic plot) were walking into a really nice hotel in Mt. Shasta without masks. IT was obvious this is what was going on because otherwise you would have to be from the moon not to know what was going on that day.
Other times people would stare angrily at me if I wore a mask. Then my son went into a Subway Sandwich place in Mt. Shasta and literally "NO ONE" was wearing a mask and a boy almost knocked my son down in confusion (possibly because my son who has a bachelor of Science degree in Nursing WAS WEARING A MASK as the ONLY person in the Subway Sandwich place with a mask on. People told me "Ray's" Market in Mt. Shasta no one wears masks in either but Berryvale the local organic foods and health food store you aren't allowed into it without a mask on.
So, this divide of those who are going to get coronavirus (those who don't wear masks) and those who won't tend to get it (Those who wear masks at Berryvale) was going on even in Mt. Shasta.
I hadn't really run into this divide before simply because where I live if you don't wear a mask you can go to jail for not wearing a mask going into any store or business on the California coast.
But, Mt. Shasta, far out into the country where more rednecks live this wasn't the case.
But, maybe there is another side to this. More remote counties like Siskiyou very few people have died of coronavirus so far so this is another way to look at it as well. Some people just feel their localities are so special it just couldn't happen to them ever.
Ever will eventually be over for most of these remote localities sooner or later because the virus doesn't care what locality you are in.
