WTF Mask rage

[Sredni Eel]

To all these amateurs saying a little surgical mask is uncomfortable, grow a fucking pair. You don't know from uncomfortable and hot.

So, something changed. I went to Walmart last night after work and it was how it has been, like 75% no masks, people coming and going as they please.

Today, they are back to limiting to one door, counting people, and actually enforcing masks.

Probably in the state or city it was currently required. Today Kentucky just required masks for 30 days. As far as I know Walmart is only going to do it when it's required.

Unfortunately some companies are like that. Early on a lot of appartment buildings were doing all kinds of stuff with nothing telling them they had to. My building refused to do anything at all because the law did not say they needed to. Eventually there was a law in DC saying otherwise. We just barely meet the regulations (and were late since we did not have things in place) but at least better than nothing now.

In IL it's been required for months I believe. Maybe they made it more required.

My building, being owned by a corporation, is doing a balancing act between state requirements, CYA, and some people's feelings (no virulent anti-maskers they I know if, just people who think the danger is past). The office staff care, but they're bound by what the corporation says.

I see a lot of Likes, but no one LAUGHED. If you don't get the joke, take a closer look:

Nothing to laugh at. Redshirts get what they deserve!

I had to turn around and drive back home to get my mask one time. *shrug*. Teach me not to forget it next time.

We bought a few extras and we keep one in each car with gloves also so that if we forget we don't have to drive all the way home (which we've had to do, twice).

That's one thing about living in an apartment building; building rules say you have to wear a mask in common areas, so putting one on when I leave my apartment has become a habit. There have been a couple of times when I stated it to walk my dog without one, but I got self-conscious, caught myself, and went back for it.

That is so my younger sister! *

I want to see the orange face get what it deserves. Given how many things have missed I would not want to be anywhere near when karma finally notices it.

Yes, I was annoyed for awhile as a lot of people were not wearing masks. I was always protecting them but they were not returning the favour. Signs requiring masks are more common around here now though. I am sure there are still maskless people but they are not everywhere now.

We've billboards, apparently not only did our city decide to require masks, but the whole county did - and for those who don't know, Escambia County Florida [not to be confused with the same county on the other side of the state border] isn't just urban on the coast, but well.... extremely poor rural north of the coast.

You know, the sorts of people who don't want to wear a mask and think twitler is the most wonderful thing ever.

Or someone checked up on their stores and threatened to fine them.

I see the occasional person without a mask, not in stores thank goodness. A few neighbors seem to b think the danger has passed because new cases have gone down so much. I treat them like I treat cigarette smokers, which I can’t get near either. Mostly, politely avoid by a wide a margin as I can. If they’re in the elevator, I tell them my doctor said I can’t get in with them (true),

As an aside on county names. My undergraduate school was in Rockingham County, NH and right after it I went to grad school in VA ... in Rockingham County.

Columbus is seeing an upsurge in cases and state and local authorities are cracking down. Individuals can be ticketed, with one warning and then escalating fines. Fines for businesses not enforcing mask policies and maximum capacity are substantial, and they can lose their liquor license. I see an overwhelming number of people wearing masks.
