Health workers not masked today's Sun
For those of you who read the Daily Sun, look at page 1. There is Becky Pilipow, co-owner of Edible Arrangements delivering food to a Nursing Home. And she is not wearing a mask. Now turn to page A5 where we again see Becky preparing the food, no mask. Also a smiling Carolina Portilla, CNA at the Villages Hospital working without mask [or gloves] with food sent by a restaurant.
Bonus points to Mary Alice Lewis, director of nursing at the nursing home, she IS wearing a mask. You're taking food to a nursing home, the highest risk place for COVID, and not taking a simple precaution in case you are an asymptomatic spreader? And you work in a hospital, also high risk? Thank you for donating, thank you for being a health care worker, but Wow, just wow. |

From the Food and Drug Administration:
Avoiding Foodborne Illness Currently there is no evidence of food or food packaging being associated with transmission of COVID-19. Foodborne gastrointestinal (GI) viruses, like norovirus and hepatitis A, can make people ill through contaminated food. SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, is a virus that causes respiratory illness. FDA advises we all adopt everyday safe food handling This has been reported through various news outlets for weeks. Masks provide a limited protection for the other person, not the wearer. The Health care workers know this.

They know what they are doing or not. Right along with the braggadocious few who keep claiming to not have and will never wear a mask.
Without enforcement this is what you get. |

You can read the Mayo Clinic's posted requirement that everyone wear a mask. click on this sentence : Beginning today (Monday, April 13), Mayo Clinic is requiring all patients and visitors to wear a face covering or mask to help slow the spread of COVID-19. To quote Orwell in Animal Farm : ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL, BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS. Last edited by blueash; 04-29-2020 at 10:27 AM. Reason: Add Mayo Clinic tweet |

It doesn't look as though she was actually entering the nursing home, and the person receiving the package was wearing a mask. I'm of two minds about this:
1. Wearing masks in the general public should really not be a "thing" unless social distancing isn't practical. 2. I feel it might've been more appropriate for the Edible Arrangements woman to set the food down on a chair/table (something brought outside for her to put it on), or on the ground, and then take a couple steps back while the woman taking the packages took them. They could've gotten a nice photo of both women, with the packages in the nurse's hands, from a 5-6 foot distance, and neither of them would've needed to wear masks and we could've seen both of their smiling faces. |

When anything is left to the judgement of the individual VS mandatory.....compliance will be to each his own.
No right or wrong.....totally unenforceable. |

While the care director is wearing a cloth mask, that is nearly useless in protecting her from catching COVID if she is exposed. Cloth and paper masks are to prevent an infectious person from spreading. So if the food preparer has COVID that mask on the recipient is not of any known benefit. The obligation is on the sick person, even an asymptomatic person, to wear a mask to not be capable of spreading COVID to a nursing home. |
