Went to pick up food from our favorite around the corner restaurant last night, and no one was wearing any masks.

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) May 21 '20, 10:11

not the people working there, not the customers, no one. (Well, I was.)

It didn't bother me when I was doing curbside pickup with them during the actual lockdown, since there were no customers inside. The employees came out to the car, handed it to you through the passenger side, so there was distancing.

It honestly stressed me out. I really am OK just not going anywhere with anyone in a public space for the next 3 months. NOTHING HAS CHANGED other than our awareness of it, so why are people going back to the same old activities?

I. Don't. Get it.

Just went to the recycler. One of those with a container in the parking lot behind the market. *They* required masks and social distancing. - Meg May 21, 11:01
I feel a little weird talking with you guys about this since ... here is fine, we largely have no cases, and no community spread right now. -- nm - Reagen May 21, 10:55 4
- As long as your posts continue to be surgically precise joke bombs, sir. You are good -- nm - con_carne May 21, 11:01
- stop dunking on us, canada -- nm - prayformojo May 21, 10:56 2
  - it's easy for them though - there's only like 5 people in the entire country and they're all isolated under feet of snow and hiding from polar bears -- nm - decline May 21, 10:59 1
    - I mean, it's just facts. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 11:08
Related - I have to tell you, the dude posting up Alex Jones on my FB feed the other day...yeah, he just got fired the other day for insubordination. - John B May 21, 10:44 7
- Such moronic behaviour. "Hey we have a new company policy that states you need to be here by 9am." "Fuck you, I'll come in when I want!" - Shaun May 21, 10:47 6
  - What's crazy is, this place has uniforms. Required footwear. All that shit. Also - they're a union shop, but he's management. - John B May 21, 10:48 5
    - Would a union defend a guy refusing to follow safety rules? they're all 'we are in this together' and we want more safety gear -- nm - zeitgeist May 21, 11:20
    - When this happens, I wish I had the time to search people's timelines to see if they have ever posted things like "slackers on unemployment!" -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 10:51 2
      - lol - i don't have to search. I know he has. Chickens roosting and all that. Wish I could say I feel bad - but I just don't. nm - John B May 21, 10:52 1
        
        Well he's a political prisoner, so... -- nm - Reagen May 21, 10:54
    - That's even better. Good gravy. -- nm - Shaun May 21, 10:50
i don't get customers not wearing one, or businesses not requiring customers to wear one, but i do get kitchen workers not wearing masks.. - colin May 21, 10:33 1
- Hinders communication, too. Likely would be pulling it off constantly and ruin any benefit. -- nm - VMan May 21, 10:35
Still required here to go in anywhere. People are pretty good using them for curbside pickup as well. -- nm - znufrii May 21, 10:25 5
- are you still red? -- nm - amanda May 21, 10:37 4
  - Yup. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man May 21, 10:52 3
    - I'm thinking Mid-June to Yellow and August-Sept to Green -- nm - decline May 21, 10:55 2
      - Montco is still hovering around 100 daily cases on average, and our target is 30 to go to yellow. - znufrii, silly old man May 21, 10:57 1
        
        Bucks is at 63 and need to get to 22 - we had a spike Monday though -- nm - decline May 21, 11:01
it's been about a 60/40 split of people coming into my store with masks. and case numbers are climbing -- nm - Remlik May 21, 10:22 1
- I don't quite understand people -- nm - ty97 May 21, 10:23
My neighbors don't wear masks for the most part. I do. Stores seem ok because they require masks -- nm - budice May 21, 10:18
The low-income grocery store I went to today was *much* better with the mask usage. I’d say close to 100%. Compared to conservative Pearland at < 60%. -- nm - Qale May 21, 10:17
It was predictable, most people seem to have collectively agreed they are "over the whole thing." - MDH May 21, 10:14 6
- Yeah, the messaging was not 100% clear in that flatten the curve did not mean eliminate the curve or all infections - JackDawson May 21, 10:39
- And as far as 'done with it' I think we all are. - ty97 May 21, 10:18 2
  - Yes, agreed. I mean "over" the change in life and all. -- nm - MDH May 21, 10:19 1
    - Craving a "normal" that cannot currently exist. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 10:20
- It seems that a number of folks think now that the curve is flattened, everything's fine -- nm - ty97 May 21, 10:15 1
  - "The flatter curve just means there's more space in the ICU for you and your parents." -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 10:16
Florida has 1,204 new cases today. Most since April 23 -- nm - decline May 21, 10:13 6
- where do you see this? -- nm - prayformojo May 21, 10:18 3
  - This is the FL state dashboard (that the manager was fired for, because she wouldn't falsify/change data) -- (link) - JaxSean May 21, 10:22
  - It's on both the state dashboard and the tracking site here -- (link) - JaxSean May 21, 10:20 1
    - thanks -- nm - prayformojo May 21, 10:21
- And I don't even trust those numbers. - JaxSean May 21, 10:17
- And that's with headlines all over the place that they've gotten caught lying about case reporting. -- nm - David May 21, 10:17
