Don't Let Safety Get in Your Way

A customer at Lowe's doesn't want to talk through the plastic "spit shield." He doesn't seem to be wearing a mask, either.

They wouldn't let you do that at Chipotle at least for the past several years.

1/2 the population doesn't give a rat's patooty about safety and don't wear masks. They think they don't need one. What they don't realize is that wearing a mask protects others in case they have it but aren't symptomatic yet.

You can't fix stupid.
If there is anything that makes me see red, it is families with babies in a cart, putting everything they can get their little hands on in their mouths. The parents are not wearing masks and are hogging my space also.

We're getting so much conflicting information about that. First CDC said masks should be reserved for health care professionals and they would not help people in public anyway. T
Then they said cloth masks were ineffective and would lend a false sense of security.
Then they said Oh, everybody should wear masks, here's how to make them. Use scarves, bandanas, make them out of sheets . . . So people started making masks for nursing homes, first responders, neighbors.
Now, WHO says no indication wearing a homemade mask would protect anyone from anything.
I wear one whenever I go into a business, and in my area most people are. Many stores require them now. Violence has broken out over the issue.
Whom are we to believe?

I say believe history. Protect the weak, already sick, elderly. Quarantine the COVID sick. End of story.
If the asymptomatic sick infect other asymptomatic sick or if healthy people get mild to medium sickness, it is a positive, as we approach herd immunity, at which time you have very few people who CAN infect the old or infirm. Quarantining the healthy does not stop the spread but it does stop prosperity, economy, mental health and futures.

Unfortunately there are indications that herd immunity does not work with this virus. Meanwhile many many people will die if you let the damn virus have its way. And meanwhile the economy is tanking. There are no good solutions, and it sucks.

I always try to believe true experts, not politicians. Also, believe the people we used to trust; the people that we trusted the last 50 years. They weren’t perfect, but they were decent, honest individuals who tried to get things right. Now we hear they’re liars - all of a sudden. Really, it’s not difficult at all to know who and what to believe. Of course, if pictures don’t tell you the truth, you can always believe this guys initial crowd was bigger than the last guys. It is easy. But, then people usually choose to believe what they want. Easily determined falsehoods now have become okay to believe. Willful denial, failure to even consider what the other side says, refuse to question authority are all Hall marks of today.
By the way, the medical/scientific community has remained pretty consistent throughout this disaster.
