Hopefully gone are the days when people leave the restroom without washing their hands! Nope, happened yesterday afternoon when I was in restroom at a Mexican restaurant. Guy came strait of the stall, past the sinks and out the door. I was tempted to track the guys table down and let his dining companions know not to be sharing tortilla chips with him but I'm not a *****. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No excuse for not washing your hands though -- that's just not proper hygiene. Like tree_skier pointed out, would you like to share tortilla chips with this guy? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted March 27, 2021 #131 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Really, you'll have to point me to the threads and posts that indicate that a covid vaccine prevents or mitigates anything other than the C-virus. I missed them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago I was working in a food processing plant during college summer break. I was in the bathroom, Stenciled on the wall, in big letters it said “ALL EMPLOYEES MUST WASH THEIR HANDS BEFORE RETURNING TO WORK”. A guy walked away from a urinal and headed for the door. There happened to be a foreman in there, and he stopped guy and said “Can’t you read” as he pointed to the sign. The guy responded “I’m not going back to work, I’m going to eat my lunch”. He ate alone after that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They create a barrier between your mouth and nose and those around you. This makes it more difficult for the droplets that spread coronavirus through coughs, sneezes and talking to reach other people. Nope, simply not true.

For the time being we need to live with them to protect us and others and they might even be part of our lives in the future in one way or another. This doesn't stop us from having a enjoyable cruise vacation for instance. As long as the Covid vaccines continue to be effective and herd immunity is achieved, masks will eventually become a non issue as people will no longer be wearing them. I know I won’t be wearing a mask and I have been a huge proponent of universal masking since the beginning of this pandemic. I continue to believe masks are very effective for source control when worn properly. Just my opinion, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you for protection but as source control, most masks are effective and better than no mask at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masks are not worn correctly by many. They don't fit correctly, people digit with them, they take them off to speak, they don't clean them.....thus rendering them completely useless. https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/29/these-12-graphs-show-mask-mandates-do-nothing-to-stop-covid/ I do not understand how, after dealing with this for over a year, you even ask that question. The non mask wearers are protected by those who wear masks. Non mask wearers have been part of the problem of this pandemic, not the solution. Masks are worn , primarily for source control, not for protection. Have you ever heard this before or just ignored it?

The CDC needs to asses the scenario of a “bubble” cruise ship of 100% vaccinated crew and passengers. They just might change their directive of “small groups” for all vaccinated people. Large groups are not a given that all people will be vaccinated but a cruise ship is unique if it is a bubble of all vaccinated on board.

Otherwise, have never worn one at work or shopping. They don't work, it's all been forced upon us for no reason. Mask most certainly do work for source control. Do you know what that is? Masks are not very effective for the protection of the wearer unless an N95 mask is used. Universal masking is our mitigation method of source control. Do I have to explain what source control is to you? After over one year of dealing with this pandemic, you should know what source control refers to.

Everything is open. Masks may not be mandated, but every establishment that I have been to over this whole pandemic requires a mask to enter. The only time I've seen people without masks was last weekend when I made the mistake of visiting I-drive where the tourists are in Orlando. I never go there and I was shocked at the amount of people congregating without masks. I have had the same experience in central Florida. All establishments require masks and their employees all are masked up. There may be the rouge establishment that does not require masks but they are very few and far between. Most people have continued to mask up in my community so we have not been negligent in Florida and have been doing our part to mitigate the virus as best we can. The larger cities are not as good with masking and it is usually the younger people who feel they don’t have to worry about the virus and feel no obligation to help others stay safe. Sorry folks, it that is the truth. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People shop and go out in restaurants w/o masks on.....since it is personal choice in Florida What’s I live in Florida, most restaurants have put up higher dividers between booths so to give their patrons a safety shield from the people in the booths next to them. We do not dine in a restaurant which does not have these additional dividers. We have been very lucky in our community........ everything has been open for business yet done very safely.
