Related to a comment above, this is why physical-distancing is so important. You still need to stay 6ft away even with wearing a mask:
"Wearing a cloth mask does not protect you much if you’re in close contact with someone who is COVID-19 contagious. It may give you 20 minutes, instead of 10, to avoid contracting the disease."

I think most people are trying to distance. At least in the stores I was in this weekend. But there is only so much room and so many people and you find yourself navigating a store like an Indy driver, weaving to avoid colliding. Some places, there is only so much space. I found myself saying “sorry” a lot. I dodged on lady only to collide into another.

I hate to see it when people are not wearing masks, wearing them wrong, or not social distancing. If they only can go to a Covid unit and see how sick Covid patients are especially so many on ventilators, how many are dying, and how we’re getting so many patients that we have to keep opening more units and beds for Covid patients. |

I feel like I must be living in some kind of happy little bubble because I'm fortunate to not have experienced the kind of things people have shared in this thread. That's really disheartening. I leave the house maybe once or twice a week to get groceries or pickup food curbside and I do reuse the same cloth mask when I venture out, but I wash it once a week. I used to wash it after each time I wore it but I've been slacking off recently--hence the once a week washing. I also have more than one mask so it's easy enough to rotate, though I have a favorite mask from etsy for the summer (breathes better). |
