I screamed out loud tonight when I heard a Bay Area county health official say his office traces the latest growth in cases to Halloween gatherings.

AYFKM??!?!  We couldn't go one year sitting out Halloween? It's like we pissed away all the progress we had made, that was allowing businesses to be open to some level, so they can shut down again all so people could put on stupid costumes with each other.

Just infuriating.

Really? I don't know anyone who celebrated Halloween.

I put the official's comment in the 'talk is cheap' category.

Our neighbors across the street went 7 months without guests, then had at least 2 families of relatives over for Halloween. I know the relatives went out the door without masks. I do not know what isolation or testing they might have gone through prior to that time, but it seems to me that Halloween isn't important enough for that. We do know them pretty well and we know they have been very careful up to this time.
