Good grief Greg. You are *still* hung up on *blocking* the virus
with a cloth or non-N-95 mask.

That is *not* the purpose of wearing a mask ... homemade or
of the non-surgical type.

"coughing into a petri dish"? Of course the virus will
land there.

Have the person holding the petri dish stand 6-10 feet
away from the person coughing. Test wearing a mask
and without a mask. Let us know the results.

Just don't stand next to people who are coughing.

Or talking, or singing, or breathing. Right?

That is what the 6 feet is all about.

If you can. That's not always possible. Go visit your local Costco and you'll
see what I mean.

You're starting to sound very silly.

Why not? I have really only been in Costco once in the last couple
months but they limit the number of people in there, they stopped
giving out free food and they cleared out the aisles so you are not
bunched up. Walmart is the same way. It is easy to keep a reasonable
distance. If you read the current guess, they also say the problem is
prolonged contact, not just walking past someone.
When you look at the recent outbreaks, that seems to be true too. They
are people who were sitting in pews together or at a big party,
probably passing a joint around among other things.

Greg, don't wear a mask. If I see you in a store or other place of business,
I'll think you don't give a **** about others.

Me and the other 30 or 40%, including the employees who are improperly
wearing their masks or not wearing one at all.

Went to Costco and Safeway today. Both had many customers and employees in the
store. I saw not one person without a mask. Not one. I suppose we were all
'mindlessly following silly rules'. Bull****.

You're either bull****ting the troops or you've got a bunch of uncaring assholes
running around down there.

The Costco closest to us will not let you in the store without a mask
and a Costco ID card. I suspect that they'd pull your card in a
heartbeat if you gave them any grief about it. Other stores are kind
of a mixed bag. Doctor's offices and other healthcare facilities are
being extremely strict however: Temperature checks, questionaires,
waiting in your car, etc.
