People need to learn how to wear masks properly!

They are strongly encouraged here and mandatory for folks working in close contact or encountering the public.
I think they should be mandatory for all. I don't think it's fair if the clerk cannot sneeze on the public but the public could on the clerk.

Mandatory inside "establishments" but not outside, here in Maryland, as of last Saturday morning.

We're just a big bad bunch of meanies! Actually, we're all just a bunch of people who wish we could post facial expressions and voice tones into our posts, 'cause plain, cold text can send the wrong message even when we intend the opposite. It would be cool if we could do video conferencing, instead ...
Wait. No. I haven't done hair and make-up in days and I REALLY need to do the laundry. Cancel the video suggestion ... IMMEDIATELY!

What is this make-up you speaketh of??

I shouldn't be kissing my chickens? I have done that for many years.

Don't believe it! It's fake news! Kiss 'em all!

Never heard of it. What are we making up??? Does this mean we get to make up stories? Why would that mean we can’t video? I’m confused. I’m sure everyone would love story time!!

I think I have some of this 'make-up' stuff somewhere...

I'm not playing it again... My dogs will try to eat them through the phone

I played it, myself, and my tabby cat went nuts! He was sitting on my desk (too much assistance, again) so he was right next to the speakers. I wish I'd had video on him!

We were talking about Typhoid Mary earlier. Some people think she was just pure evil. But it seems to me she just could not believe she was responsible for all those people getting sick around her. The very idea was so repulsive that she would not even allow herself to be tested for it. She just couldn't countenance even that possibility, and I think that's why she kept working as a cook, because she was in complete denial that the disease could possibly be coming from her. And in that sense, how is she any different from people today? People who believe they can't possibly be shedding corona virus because they don't feel sick? They won't wear a mask because they don't have a fever? They want to go back to work because, hello, social distancing is working and infection numbers are going down? They have a mask on, but it's under their chin or not covering their nose. There are Typhoid Marys everywhere! So I'm staying home.

I think they purposely made it as drastic looking and crazy as possible so people would do it.

If it was like $50 bucks or something I bet some people would just rather pay the fine but not $1000 haha

You know, you could also just stay home.

I work.
