Default Stupid/Smart Reactions to Pandemic

OK I will start:

Dumbest thing I have experienced first hand, McDonalds at SEA is open but seating area is closed. So instead of eating your meal at a table that can be wiped cleaned you are forced to take your food to a gate seat that probably gets cleaned monthly at best and eat surrounded by people at the gate. I get eliminating dining in, but if you are already at an airport?

Smartest thing.........still waiting for something smart to occur. Actually, all the "strings" that will be attached to the government aid seem pretty smart.

Stupidity is running amok at this point Scoop.

No hope in stopping it either

Stupid - Dunkin' won't pour coffee directly into a mug that I place on the counter. Instead they grab a cup by the rim, then put a plastic lid on it by touching all the sides of it.

Smart - people spacing themselves out in the gate area and on the planes.

People walking around with the masks dropped down around their neck. Completely improper use of gloves, from using them while eating, putting the same pair on and off, and touching all their stuff that eventually they will be touching just as much once they take the gloves off.

I’m too stupid to know what’s stupid or smart. Plus, I don’t like labeling people or things ‘stupid’. Maybe I just don’t understand what’s going on.

I am pretty sure that ‘reation’ isn’t a word, though. Seems stupid.

Edit: see reason for editing

Can confirm all cable 'news' is bad. Haven't watched for years, read only.
