Before face masks, Americans went to war against seat belts (Business Insider)

Oh, boy, do I remember this from the 1960’s. I remember my Dad installing seat belts in our car. As a kid, I was not at all political (but definitely a nerd) and remember rolling my eyes at the “better to be thrown from the car” argument. What, through the windshield? “What if the car goes into water or catches fire” (I guess it can’t do both) makes a bit more sense, but are way too improbable to pay the price of not being protected.

I suspect many people still don’t understand that belts work with the “[wiki base=”EN”]crumple zone[/wiki]” in front as a shock absorber to reduce g-forces in a crash.

“You wanna bounce through this one?” the exec asks the crew in the deceleration scene in [wiki base=”EN”]Forbidden Planet[/wiki].

Beware — this all assumes compliance with masking and social distancing. Here’s a summary, but obviously read the New York Times article for details.

1. A BYOB backyard gathering with one other household: low to medium risk. ✅⚠️
2. Eating indoors at a restaurant: medium to high risk — “one of the riskiest things you can do. ⚠️?
3. Attending a religious service indoors: high risk. ?
4. Spending the day at a popular beach or pool: low risk — “as long as you can stay socially distanced”. ✅
5. An outdoor celebration such as a wedding with more than 10 guests: medium to high risk. ⚠️?
6. Using a public restroom: low to medium risk — ventilation is the variable here. ✅⚠️
7. Letting a friend use your bathroom: low risk (turn the fan on). ✅
8. Going to a vacation house with another family: low risk. ✅
10. Getting a haircut: medium to high risk. ⚠️?
11. Going shopping at a mall: risk varies. ❓
12. Going to a nightclub: high risk. ?
13. Going camping: low risk. ✅
14. Exercising outdoors: low risk ✅?

I was confused at first that the DuPage County website only has due dates for 2019, but as with income tax, you pay 2019 taxes in 2020. The due dates this year are June 1st and September 1st, but due to COVID-19, the DuPage County Board adopted an ordinance to waive penalties for late payment of the June 1st installment property taxes for those who qualify.
