Oh, no. I see the arrows. I simply don’t give a rats arse about the arrows. I’m not going to walk down an entire aisle to come back up the next one the “correct” way when I can simply take 5 steps and grab what I want.

And what if you have it and are asymptomatic? I don’t know why this is so hard for people to process.

Karen has spread and been generalized to basically include any woman on facebook posting an opinion. When it first started, it was the people like we had in our neighborhood who cried to wafb, wbrz, the parish president and tried to organize the neighborhood women's group (through facebook) when the local club house started a summer camp to allow 6 kids to be watched locally. She thought it was the height of stupidity for parents to allow their kids to spend the day with other neighborhood kids while they had to work. The GM caved of course.

If I were at risk, I'd be rocking one as well.

M at risk, I don't wear one. There seems to be conflicting opinions from "experts" on whether masks help or hurt. I think at best they give a false sense of security.

Without question the mask keeps you from putting your hands to your mouth/nose, which seems like the most likely mode of getting infected. In a crowded public place, to me this is the biggest benefit of wearing a mask. Really hard to not touch your face otherwise.

For the general public, it actually causes people to touch their face MORE because they adjust it, move it down to talk, etc. So, it's not nearly as beneficial as it could be or it's often making things worse.

But you touch your mask which is a huge germ repository. It's a false sense that f security.

To be effectve you would need to change your mask and wash your hands many times throughout the day.

I think when you’re getting to your table or to the bar or going to the bathroom it makes sense to wear the mask, but once you have sat down and are six feet apart from another person I think you should be able to take it off.

---

Why? Because you wouldn’t be breathing, talking, or anything else once you sat at the table? Are you washing your hands after you touch every glass, table top, bar, credit card, pen, salt shaker, etc? What about every yawn, cough, sneeze, eye rub?

If the answer is no, then wearing a mask and then taking it off would be just as pointless as the idiots wearing gloves in the grocery stores.

ETA: thank goodness there is at least some portion of the bar or restaurant experience where you believe you should be allowed to not cover your mouth.

Anytime I touch something outside of my home or something that hasn't been cleaned, then yeah, I tend to wash my hands before touching my face again. So long as the bar has been cleaned off before I arrived (something they did before this largely anyway), then that's fine.

Don't need to risk someone coughing on me walking to the bathroom. We can have the best of both worlds if people won't be idiots, but this thread does not inspire much hope in that.
