Thread: Local news on Covid 19

She said her boss said it goes against the customer's rights to not wear a mask and she is not allowed to say anything to the customer about it.

Now I'm not hip on all the rules and who made them but I'm sure it's a LAW/RULE that they have to be worn inside a public store. There are signs on the doors going into the store. So I contacted the Ace hardware store through email and received this morning a reply that said basically the stores can do what they want being privately owned. I replied with the fact I thought it was a law. And I will tell the local newspaper and TV stations about this and I will never enter his store again. I will also tell everyone I know to not go to that store.

I bet I won't get a reply at all. But it made me feel good writing it. I did send emails to the newspaper and tv station. But who knows what if anything will be done. It just makes me mad at how so many people think only about themselves and nobody else.

Sorry, I will stop complaining now. I'm still waiting on my first shot. The wife has another week or two before she gets her second shot. Thank you to everyone who will continue to wear a mask and follow the CDC rules even after getting the shot. It's going to take a while to get this under control and hit that 70 or 80% they say is needed.

It depends on the state. AARP posted this list.

Not to poke fun or even disagree but just to interject a little humor:
That reminds me of the old joke from the 80s
Why does a Valley girl take 2 birth control pills?

Because she wants to be fer sure fer sure.

Here in the land of Manana they be pretty strict about masks all all this. It's rare to see someone without one and we are still in partial rules for businesses. Schools reopen 4/5.

I was out hiking the other day and saw a brown bear with a mask on and he had a suitcase. I asked him where he's going and he said he's had it and was going to Arizona.

Was he clean shaven or was he just wearing the mask for show and huffing and puffing out the sides?

He said it was custom fit and it was killing him.
