Happy Independence Day™ to all my American friends!
Stay safe, keep others safe, and flatten that curve. You should know how by now. I really want to go visit the U.S. again but the stats are not in favour of opening the Canada-U.S. border anytime soon. One expert says it could even be a year.
I’m still hoping to put up more comments on the story that just ended, later today.
A very nice tribute and a reminder that we have to work together to keep each other safe. (but 6 out of 9 are caucasian? C’mon colorist! You can do better!)
So proud everybody is celebrating the charade of flattening the curve as they wear non-medical grade masks that Dr. F said in March we don’t need to wear, in April we do need to ear and now the CDC says may be harmful. Wow! Make up your mind.
If they really cared, shouldn’t there be standards for the masks and requirements to wear ones that meet the standard? At the moment you can all a tissue and a rubber band a mask and you are ok. You can even wear the masks made in China! (I won’t)
No standards, just a lot of feel good legislation and orders by politicians wanting to get votes. We need standards for masks and enforce those standards.
Oh well, wait till next month and everything will change again.
Oh no!!! It’s Charley’s greatest nemesis; the MTA! Did he ever get off that subway? Did he ever get the $.05 or just the sandwich? Is his fate still unlearned? (What a pity)
what was the need to put masks on everyone? its a"temporary situation" that scientists in the UK have already found the beginnings of a cure for (which has already decreased deaths by 33%) while FREEDOM IS FOREVER!
Strong single panel from Team Tracy. The covid-19 virus is highly transmittable. Many who contract it are asymptomatic, able to infect others while never realizing they are carriers. Masks greatly reduce the chance of spreading the virus. Stay safe. Be well.
A precendent being set today. Acknowledgement of the pandemic a.k.a. Covid-19. It is about time. Only other comic strips I see currently acknowledging that there is Covid-19 are Curtis and Dilbert. Good seeing diversity of ethnic groups in this single panel today. I hope Joe and Mike will repeat this going forward. Also time for Tracyville to recognize the pandemic is real and function accordingly.

Nice patriotic acknowledgement of essential workers. (I’m considered an essential worker also, work in a homeless shelter).

WHY???
The failure is over, leave it to vanish like the fart in the wind it was!

The mask and the plastic face shield are redundant.

The flag may be rendered incorrectly (only 49 stars) but at least the medical person’s hat correctly has an Asclepeion, instead of a Caduceus.
