People people move on. There is a lot of medical information out there that masks are not a good weapon against infection. Antibodies are the answer!

Hubby was there on Friday and everyone of the employees had a mask on.

Glad to hear they got with the program.

For all of you still complaining about people without masks in the stores, why are you going out? You should know by now that many will not wear them. There is no law saying they have to. You can order everything you need for pick-up.

I had to go inside the store to pay for my propane tank that Ace filled. Sometimes, there is not a way out of having to go inside a store.

Good idea. You always have the option of staying at home. You sound like the guy I saw in a golf cart with a cardboard sign taped to the front which read "6 feet away". Really? So many people are so terrified of dying from a virus which has a 98% survival rate than they refuse to or can't enjoy living. So sad.

Your first comment is "Good idea". What is a good idea???? I have no idea because you did not reply using the [Reply With Quote] button. It is so much more enjoyable reading this forum when we don't have to play guessing games.

Ace hardware at Spanish Springs goes above and beyond! I was extremely impressed. I was there before the state relaxed lock down. They limited the number who were in the store, plexiglass, social distancing. Fabulous service, I noted they even carry larger unusually sized filters for modern furnaces.

Too bad they don't fill empty grill propane tanks. :(

Sorry to disagree with you. Masks are an excellent weapon against this virus. Problem is, everyone has to wear a mask for this mitigation practice to work. Droplets are blocked by cloth and a single paper towel. I experimented after seeing a demo on YouTube......

I spritzed water onto the bathroom mirror. Droplets went all over the mirror. Then I took a single layer paper towel and spritzed water onto the paper towel which I held up to the mirror. Not one droplet went onto the mirror and that was using a SINGLE LAYER of paper towel to block the droplets.

I make a home make mask using a double layer of paper towels, a piece of printer paper and two layers of tissue. This mask was designed by a physician and I saw the video on YouTube how to make it.

Believe me, none of my droplets will escape that mask if I sneeze or cough. Even when speaking, droplets are spewed from a person's mouth and this paper towel mask will block those droplets.

I wear the mask in public when social distancing is not possible which is just about everywhere indoors. The exception is dining inside a restaurant with tables placed appropriately for social distancing. I wear a mask to protect people around me. I would hope people return the good intentions by also wearing a mask.

Remember..........Your mask protects me and my mask protects you. Thanks for keeping others safe.

Wildwood ACE also had masks, clearly marked standing locations on the floor, and doors closed to control the direction of traffic.

Ace is the place, they have anything you need. Best place around!!!
