Yesterday...

My coffee village was the first community in Ohio to mandate masks a few weeks ago.
Hand cleaner stations are scattered up the sidewalk; placards, banners, store signs, floor & sidewalk signs are all over town.
And coming into town on the highway I discovered this - leaving visitors in no doubt that the village is serious.

Not sure how long this has been in place - as I always take a back roads route to town.

Here mask are required if you can't social distance. Went to the city building (mask required to enter) they enter your contact information into a log and record your temperature. Once inside if you can social distance you can remove your mask until you get ready to exit then your required to wear it.

You have to put it BACK ON to LEAVE the buiding?!

Yes because you enter a hallway where you can't social distance to leave the building.

my town just reopened for business as usual, after 5 months of remote board meetings, if you can't do your business on line, passing an envelop thru a drawer into the town clerks office, meanwhile, the supermarket I shop at, has started enforcing masks, they give ya one if you don't have one.

There are some people around here where wearing a mask is a blessing for the rest of us. It's got nothing to do with C19. They're just ugly mofos.

Yeah, the wife says it improves my profile! A bit harsh IMO. :o
-
For no longer then I'm in a business wearing a mask is no big deal. If I had to wear one for 8 hrs I don't think I could do it.

In the UK a 'mask' is loosely defined as a 'face covering'. This means you can regress to your childhood and pretend you're Jesse James.

My wife and daughter wear one all day at work.
Wife - Dr's office.
Daughter - dept. store. (thankfully the store finally mandated it for all customers too - as maybe 15% were wearing them prior to this. Store has a "greeter" at the door - to enforce the rule.

In California no less I seen a picture of a guy in a store wearing a KKK hood for a mask. Depending on the neighborhood it could be more lethal then covid 19.
A year ago if you wore a mask they would probably not allow you in a store, now if you don't wear a mask they probably won't let you into a store .

Sit at my sidewalk table with mask under my chin....while drinking my coffee.

My wife works part time and instead of a face mask she wears a full, clear plastic face shield at work. Less hot and foggy and doesn’t fog up her glasses like a mask does!

This is the case with most servers at food outlets over here in the UK.

Unfortunately, face shields alone have proven ineffective against either the spread of, or being infected by the virus. If you're infected with the COVID virus and only wear a face shield, you can still spread the virus. It's most effective if a mask is worn with the shield. The only reason to wear a face shield (with a mask) is if your eyes may be exposed to the virus, such as if you're a dentist or dental hygienist, or work in a lab where you may be exposed to droplets. Bandanas and neck gaiters are worse than not wearing a face mask. Check the updated CDC guidelines for face coverings.

I’ll be honest. I’m glad they made it mandatory in my county. Why? Even grown men sometimes are intimidated by peer pressure. And most men were NOT wearing masks in most stores. So I often didn’t wear one either. But also felt guilty for not doing so. Now it’s mandatory. So I can wear one without feeling that others are judging my “manliness “ . Yep. That’s pathetic. But it doesn’t take much for us grown men to succumb to peer pressure to not look like wusses. Especially in certain areas where people start making things into political litmus tests, and you simply don’t feel like “dealing with it”

Glad you're wearing a mask. I started wearing a mask as soon as it was recommended. Having spent 40 plus years working in healthcare - hospitals, medical office buildings, etc. - I knew there would be problems if we all didn't start protecting ourselves, and each other. So, if there is still anyone out there who thinks wearing a mask diminishes your manliness, get over it. Wearing a mask beats having a vent tube stuck up your nose, or down your throat.

I'm all for wearing masks in buildings and when social distancing can't be maintained but some states have gone way overboard with this. Wisconsin DNR employees are now required to wear masks while on Zoom meetings even though they are at home alone :o

NYPost.....half inch above the National Enquirer.
State is simply asking the employees to help set an example by wearing the masks.

I think the National Enquirer past the New York Times several years ago for credibility
