For those that think this covid 19,is a hoax, why do you think that? I simply think that thinking is beyond wrong.

Now that we are being forced to wear masks I'm less confident being around people. Very doubtful that people are going to wash them after every use. Most people in the store were touching them or just wearing them wrong. 


Have to agree, the behanior of many people wearing the masks give people a false sense of security.  Would be better off with no mask, social distancing and wash your hands

@willdob3 That's interesting. I had to go into a Walmart on Easter Sunday for necessities. It's getting harder and harder to schedule groceries for pick-up. Everyone must line-up six feet apart and wait to be let in the store as customers exit. Pavements are marked with tape. No one is allowed in without a mask or face covering. The only complaint I have is the 90+ temps. The stores need shade to cover people from the hot sun while they are waiting. I am in Broward county, so maybe yours does not have as strict rules.


I read something on the internet about Walmart having 2 employees die somewhere in the Mid-west from corona virus and they were sued. They did not have all of the restrictions then, but have just started them in the last couple of weeks. My brother is a cashier at Walmart and they have recently installed plexiglass between him and the customers in addition to all the things you mentioned. They have done this at the McDonald's drive-throughs as well and the McDonald's employees are wearing gloves as well. I still do not feel safe in such a large store so I am doing most of my shopping at Trader Joe's who have senior hour every morning, are limiting the number of people in the store to 20, are wearinf masks and gloves, and wipe down your cart and hand it over to you before you enter the store.Smiley Happy

I do not like wearing a mask, but will continue to do so until there's a cure or a vaccine.

What if there's a few years before a cure or vaccine is found? Will you continue wearing a mask for many years or the rest of your life if no cure is found? Just wondering.....

whenever our governor says that masks are no longer required in stores or on public transportation, then i will not be wearing one.


Likewise - when our Governor says we no longer need them, I will stop. Its becoming paranoia, where some won't leave their houses until a vaccine is developed. That's a little unrealistic. Just use caution.
