There seems to be a big divide when it comes to masks. Curious what everyone else is doing.
You're lucky. My guess is that 80% to 90% of people in my community don't wear a mask when they go into stores. Perhaps a somewhat larger minority wears gloves. A small meat market in my community behaves similarly to yours. They have requirements of only 3 people in the store at one time and for the distance customers must stand from the counter but none of their personnel wear masks although they do wear gloves.Yes, as I want others to ear them, so then I should do the same. I'd estimate where I live, ~70% wear them. I won't patronize stores where they don't wear them- so I have stopped going to my neighborhood butcher, who despite requiring customers to wear them, doesn't reciprocate.
Well, that kind of goes both ways, doesn't it? Notice the "No, it makes us look weak/I'm not going to live in fear" vote. I'm convinced that's the reason Pence didn't wear a mask at Mayo despite knowing that it was required. He didn't want to look weak to the knuckle-dragging segment of his base.Other: Yes, virtue signaling.
I 'm mystified by their logic. Basically all the supermarkets and their deli workers wear them, one of the green grocers in my area hired a security guard and now won't admit customers unless they're masked & gloves up.You're lucky.

Dangerous move. Now at risk of being shot by an American Patriot.I 'm mystified by their logic. Basically all the supermarkets and their deli workers wear them, one of the green grocers in my area hired a security guard and now won't admit customers unless they're masked & gloves up.
Head trauma is not contagious.Saw a guy on his driving is Harley with a mask....sans helmet
Lol - carrying a gun without a permit in NYC earns you a nickel (acquiring a carry permit is basically impossible), so highly unlikely based on my experience in living here 25 years. Basically business owners have the right to refuse a customer as long as it isn't base on race, religion or social class.Dangerous move. Now at risk of being shot by an American Patriot.

What about your sad clown?I might order the scary clown facecover.
How do you think the person who is bringing it into the home is getting sick? Stop that person from getting sick.If the majority of transmission is within the home, wouldn't it be more important to wear a mask at home rather than out in public?
That's not working very well in NYC right now.How do you think the person who is bringing it into the home is getting sick? Stop that person from getting sick.
I don't disagree with that. I think the home made mask thing is just a placebo affect to make people feel better.That's not working very well in NYC right now.
How many cases are tied to picking up COVID at a retail store? From what I've seen, very few.
I had this discussion with one of my nurse friends last night. Having a N95 or hospital grade mask absolutely makes a difference. But she thinks that a using homemade/re-usable cloth mask will actually increase the chances of infecting yourself, and will do very little to protect others.
How are you suggesting that it's getting into the home to begin with? Someone has got to be bringing it in.That's not working very well in NYC right now.
