He said the young man by the door asked, "May I help you, sir?" Husband replied, "Not unless you're wearing a mask!" I dread going to another store tonight, because the last time we were there only about a quarter of the workers were wearing masks. I mean, most didn't even have masks hanging around their necks. They weren't even pretending!
I go to work every day. I take my temperature and sign in at the door. I wear a mask. Mind you, this is a big building with 10 people in it with cubicles in the office area (the rest is mostly a big warehouse and printing area). Of those 10 people, I am related to 4 of them, 3 by blood. When I step outside my cubicle, I pop up my mask from around my neck. If someone comes to my cubicle opening for a discussion, I pop up my mask from around my neck. It ain't rocket science, people!
The Governor has announced that this area (this and 3 surrounding counties) is on the verge of becoming a hot spot for COVID 19. In this county, two zip codes stand out. One zip code is Wright Patt Air Force Base. The other? Xenia, Ohio. Gee, I wonder why?
(Sorry, just had to rant... It's totally ridiculous!)
Dreamer, I hope your sister-in-law gets a negative test soon! I've read where the effects of COVID 19 can linger for a long, long time.
