Do your part to slow the spread of this virus. Wear a mask!
Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work. As DEATHS increase here in TV land, people will pay more attention to your facts and encouragement!

That's as wrong as wrong can be. A major league wrong. The epitome of wrongs. Top shelf of wrongs.

Shouldn't The Villages and their entities help to try to control the spread of the virus and require their employees while in public places to wear a mask?

I mean the sheriff's are, the fire department, the EMS personnel are all wearing masks in public. It's not a hard ask and the optic is good.
I saw the same thing with 2 Villages Watch guys several times when I was at that WAWA. They meet there and sit outside on their break but don't wear masks inside.

WAIT! That explains why there are so many immunodeficient doctors, nurses and scientists that also have severe mask-on-mouth disease. It's from wearing those masks so much of the time. Someone should tell them to stop at once.

Maybe they are wearing them wrong?
Police dog demonstrates correct way, and the wrong way, to wear a face mask

If they develop the virus they can spread it as they travel to other stores to unsuspecting people.

Sorry, but I absolutely and unequivocally HATE the phrase "It is what it is." That's a philosophy that has no point to it. One could equally say that "It isn't what it isn't." Hunh?? OK. Let's put that phrase into the "circular file" along with "Whatever!"

Correct.......But you need to be more specific. Masks with valves are useless for slowing the spread of the virus.

In the Sun this morning there was a note that some idiot called in a bomb threat for the store.

Hope they find whoever did this and throw the book at them.

Please don't tell anyone BUT I am a "Mask Denyer" and a "Climate Change Denyer". With an old FIFTY-THREE year degree in Chemistry, I know the real components of the Scientific Method - and neither masks or emotional factoids make any CONCLUSIVE sense. The hand-wringers and the environmental sheeple are wrong.
