I have an uncle who is in his late 70's in ICU in SoCal with pneumonia awaiting COVID19 results.

Right now what is more on my mind is what C-19 is doing to the ordinary, every-day vagaries of life. My daughter-in-law’s mother died on Friday. She was in her 90s and deep into Alzheimer’s, so her death was certainly not pure tragedy. But her daughter could not be with her. Her husband, who is in hospice with kidney failure, could not be with her. My DIL had to get permission to visit her father, to tell him that his wife of 64 years was gone. There will be no funeral for God knows how long. I cannot hug my DIL, who is a much-loved part of a remarkable family. It sucks.

Wouldn't be surprised if both just had one of the bad flu/cold strains going around. Mainly because our testing numbers, as we're mainly testing people that show overt signs are still down around 10% positive, so 9 out of 10 show signs but are actually dealing with something else.

But I'm going to start stopping people I don't see wearing one and tell them the face covering is more to protect others, so put one on!

Maybe you can run up to them, get within 6 feet, thereby making your instruction consistent with the law. And if that doesn't work you can stalk him up and down the block chirping in his ear until you shame him into his house . . .
Or, you could make sure you and yours follow the rules/guidelines.

He was interviewed and said he was absolutely staying inside his house with the exception of going out for food maybe 4 times over the last month. He said he took every precaution and still ended up with this coronavirus.
The CDC's own website says the virus can spread in the air as far as 13 feet. Face coverings take that down considerably.
