SMC Health Department to require face masks for all

[Bann]

Based on the letter or your last name, so you know the store restocks on certain days and you got letter Z, so you can't shop until days later

Right.

Except it doesn't matter what day I go into Safeway in PF - they have no real supply of paper products. That's been going on since the weekend of March 20th.

So, according to Hogans press conference today, the mask wearing mandate takes effect Saturday 04/18/2020, does this mean I can run into the store today with out a mask on? I live in St. Mary's.

That's what I was thinking!

THIS is why you really should consider wearing a mask, even if you're healthy. If just ONE sick person was in the same store as you within the last 15 to 20 minutes, you're probably breathing in their microdroplets loaded with virus particles. Just talking is enough - it doesn't take coughing.

Well, I'm going to find out, gotta stop on my way from work today. I'll let you know.

Is that you in the profile pic?? Cutie...

No I wish I was that young again.

So youre really telling us that all retail establishments need to install UV lighting or low dose irradiation systems to protect the public.

I have a bandana and the hair tie things - it works. But damn that thing is going to be suffocating/restricting/too many layers. I guess I'll have to see about making a couple.

I know what you mean, mine is hard to breathe in. I couldn't wait to get out of the store today and take it off.

May I suggest a face shield? Impermeable plastic barrier to airborne particles passing in or out - prevents self-face touching - easy to clean (soap & water) indefinite re-use and... you can breath a lot easier. Not perfect. but possibly better than an absorbing cloth across your nose & mouth that droplets can absorb into and passes 2 micron virus particles. There's some DIY videos showing shields being made from 2 liter soda bottles and duct tape (God's gift to humankind) and other basic scrape material.

Just a thought.

Just left Lowe’s. Everyone was wearing masks. Except one guy.

I am NOT going around in one of those ridiculous looking things! They can kisssssssssssss it.

I could have used one of those "buffs" that protect your face out in the sun or wind, like when you're hiking, or fishing, but those are very constricting, IMO. Same as a bandana when worn like "a bandit", but I then I was able to find the mask I got on Etsy. I'm glad I found that one, because I didn't have the fabric or elastic to make my own. Of course, elastic is now sold out. I was lucky to find 2 masks, because that Etsy store is now sold out, too.

The cold, the flu, etc., is spread this way as well. It's called water vapor. Why do you think you can see your breath in the winter air? Water vapor. Are you going to wear a mask every time you go out for the rest of your effing life? JHFC! Again with the stupidity. There is one thing this Nation has accomplished; teaching people what to think, rather than how to think. And you are of the former.

Right, because your Chinese video is proof positive of this breathtaking discovery.

JHFC, according to you we would have to because someone always has a cough, cold, flu, etc.

Racist much? It's Japanese, if you'd looked a bit closer.

And the Japanese have a LOT of experience with airborne disease prevention. I suggest their research is probably quite trustworthy.

"Breathtaking." I see what you did there.

Huh? The point I made is that when we breathe out, we breathe out water vapor. At all times, regardless. And it's not my point, it's Goldenhawks point we would have to because someone always has a cough, cold, flu, etc. She's so scared of her own shadow that since, with each breath, we expel water vapor, she'd have to wear one 365 days a year for life to avoid any possibility of catching a bug. I could care less if people wear masks or not. But I will not be forced, coerced, made to feel guilty, shamed, ordered, or otherwise be made to wear one.
