They are requiring physical distancing but lol if you expect people to actually adhere to that

I've been out a few times this week and most people aren't doing masks anymore

America: Where COVID magically goes away when people get bored

Pretty much

every business here requires masks or you cant get in. I love it.

I fucking wish it were that way here

the boomers can whine all they want

Ohio is too wimpy to actually enforce anything
๐ YEDONG...
At most it'll be a sign that's the equivalent of "p-pweez wear a face covering but you don't have to if you don't want to"
andalite!
here in michigan someone who was turned away for not having a mask came back with her husband and son and murdered the employee.
Alicia
and as of next week, everything will be back open
Alicia
so I expect our cases to spike like they are in the south right now

Yeah, the church was like โwear a mask if you want toโ /sighs

I saw a post that was like "we won coronavirus like we won the vietnam war: we spent too much money and got bored so we declared victory"

our chefs have been serving every customer by hand and these fuckers keep getting in our chefs' faces with no coverings and we're just so tired
๐ด๐๐โ๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐ก
(which may be why our chefs have mostly given up wearing masks themselves)
๐ YEDONG...
Right? It's like, why the fuck should staff bother if patrons aren't going to
๐ YEDONG...
I would even if they didn't require it because it's the right thing to do
๐ YEDONG...
So now I get to go to work and worry that I'm going to bring the fucking virus home to my elderly parents because Heaven fucking forbid they require people to wear a mask for the hour they are in the building

WEARING A MASK IS NOT A HUGE INCONVENIENCE (says the person who would have to wear masks for like 12 hours straight when scheduled in surgery, admittedly)

It's so agitating that wearing a mask is an "inconvenience". It's really not.
๐ YEDONG...
They do again plan to enforce social distancing and limit the number of people allowed in the building at one time, and portions of the building are still going to be closed but that doesn't do much to make me feel better about this whole thing
๐ YEDONG...
As of June 28th I'll be back to my full hours, too, so that means more chances to be exposed

Unfortunately the very best thing you can do is stay vigilant. Frequent handwashing, not rubbing nose or eyes, keeping distance as best as possible.
๐ YEDONG...
YEAH that's another thing- in my department (and most departments, in fact) we're right on top of each other
๐ YEDONG...
Boss solved this by splitting us into groups, assigned carts/computers, and only working certain days of the week, and that'll be impossible to do once all of us are back in the building
Alicia
and customers do not understand the concept of personal space

I've been grocery shopping and seen people leeeean around the plexiglass to talk to the cashiers

Oh yeah

I think the only annoying thing about them is for folks with glasses that deal with them fogging, but there are so many ways to handle that so like ???

Does it take getting used to? Yes. Is it some kind of horrible attack on your face and your freedom? NO.

the bar's real low
Decaploid viola
feels odd the first few times! then you get used to it!
Xenonucleic
There are masks with wire you can seal the top of for glasses
๐ YEDONG...
Yup, I wear glasses and I got used to the fogging really fast
๐ YEDONG...
One of my coworkers made masks with a piece of metal that you can pinch around your nose that helps alleviate the problem
Xenonucleic
Yeah, like that
๐ YEDONG...
Decaploid viola
I read that you can also stick a strip of tissue along the inside of the top edge tho not being a glasses-wearer I don't know the efficacy of it
๐ด๐๐โ๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐ก
^ that's what mara wilson was suggesting months ago iirc
Rabbit Crimes
I just ended up using a lot of the strats I use to keep my glasses from fogging up in winter
Rabbit Crimes
making sure my glasses are sitting on top of & outside the mask so my breath is less likely to hit both sides of the lenses, wearing them slightly farther down my nose, etc
