NC now has mandatory face coverings, no phase 3 yet

Sadly, I don't believe it will. Too many people out there that are selfish, stubborn, and/or ignorant.

Good luck masks are mandatory here but many are very vocal that
they won’t wear them that it’s goes against their rights. They don’t believe they will be effected since it’s a hoax. Our sheriff has said he won’t ticket those that don’t follow the rules so several bars are filled well beyond capacity and not even close to following and covid rules. One has closed due to an outbreak and I’m betting the other one down the street has cases but just not reporting since they haven’t followed any rules for months. I don’t see people taking this seriously unless they know someone that gets really sick from it. So until our numbers go way up people are still going to be out snd about here. Our county has high numbers but our city isn’t bad but of course people don’t just stay in their city.

I haven’t watched our governor in a few months and watched him today. It sounds like we are now prepped with excess beds and PPEs Our county is one of 11 being watched in California. It sounds like we are on pause but at this point there’s not a lot that hasn’t reopened. Bars, gyms and nail salons are open but play grounds aren’t. Museums, zoos and aquariums are reopened.

We have had several restaurants, bakeries and today a huge winery announced they were closed as several employees have tested positive. The frustrating thing for those that have visited they can’t say what days the infected individuals were there. One restaurant that closed was one that seemed to really be doing everything in their power to follow the rules the other not. The bakeries weren’t exactly hot spots of activity. With these I think our city is going to start seeing much larger increases in numbers. Our hospital, icu snd deaths are climbing in our county now so I think it’s just a matter of time before it starts hitting home for people in our city. Their attitudes and nastiness towards those that are at risk is beyond disgusting and shocking to hear such from all these so called Christians. Their comments online are so hateful but oh they paid it forward at Starbucks so they are saved. I just can’t believe the hypocrisy.

This went well, not!

I really think masks are the reason hospitalizations are down so dramatically here in Connecticut. I see almost 100% compliance when I’m out.

I really wish people would look at the real data not just outdated data to “prove” their point. It’s not to prevent every little virus particle but the larger droplets filled with virus from coughing, sneezing or even talking. Studies in places where people are using them show that it slows down the virus.

It was the Health Dept that shut down a San Diego restaurant/bar after social media coverage of them breaking all the rules.

El Prez reopens again

I'm really disappointed with the rise in CA numbers. 

I have a family member who's supposed to be there in the fall- very much hoping NC can get their numbers under control!

Mandatory in Virginia for several weeks now; huge uproar but most people I see wear a mask so I guess they’re complaining under their masks 🤦🏽‍♀️

IL has done a wonderful job bringing it’s numbers down. We have had to wear masks for awhile. It’s really no big deal. Wear them in the stores. Take them off once you’re away from others outside.

This is my county. So proud that a small group of people make the county appear to be full of thoughtless imbeciles.

I was out running errands this morning (Pierce County) and was surprised at how many people were NOT wearing masks. In Target particularly.

Masks have been mandatory here since the end of May and, apart from the first couple of days, compliance has been high. Overall, our numbers have stayed low - the few outbreaks here (and some are major outbreaks) have been in meatworks, which would appear to have been grossly negligent about worker health, and in a couple of larger communities, who've had parties that breach the rules.

Mask wearing has increased here in Yakima, WA, even though mandatory masks doesn't go into effect until Friday. The parking lot at Fred Meyer was only a little over half full. That said, when DH was in the checkout line, the guy behind him was unmasked and was practically up against DH's shoulder. He told the guy they are supposed to be 6 feet apart. The guy said "Oh, yeah" like he had just forgotten. But he did not move away.

I have heard about people being assaulted for wearing a mask and being ordered to remove their masks by irate people. If this happens to me, I plan to say, "I will gladly comply if you are sure, but I happen to be asymptomatic so I can spread the virus." I am not asymptomatic (that I know of), but hopefully it will give them pause.

We are living in the damn TWILIGHT ZONE !!!
