When does it end? How can it?

Notice the MASK that he is wearing. Not a simple painters mask that we have here. That mask has a filter built into mask.

Funny. But sad. The brand name is 3M. A US company.

He can get a 3M filter in mask. We can't.

3M is a USA company the last I read. And we can't get those 3M masks with inhale filter ???

Quick observations on mask and gloves:

We've noticed that there are plenty of people wearing masks with it pulled below their noses - including folks checking you out at most of the local stores.

Also, we see plenty of people wearing gloves -- and touching everything. We watched a man at the Post Office in Lakeport a few days ago (with mask and gloves). While inside the PO his gloves touched the door handle both coming and leaving, his wallet, credit card, credit card processor...and when he entered his car his contaminated gloves touched his door handle, the steering wheel, his keys, his phone and his mask before he removed his gloves. Then he touched his steering wheel and phone without gloves. We had to laugh.

Why bother?

It's no laughing matter: all of our lives are potentially at risk.

Sad that you think watching people flounder while trying to protect themselves and others is funny.

He wasn't floundering by any means. He was simply doing what he was told would protect him and others -- except they (meaning the Governor and local and national media) failed to include what NOT to do every time they drove home "wear and mask and gloves." THAT was what we were laughing about -- how people still don't know what NOT to do.

Well. Long before COVID-19 I viewed local grocery store deli counter.
There, they are supposed to put on new gloves for each customer.
A few do. But most leave the same gloves on for a long time - defeating the whole purpose of gloves.

One lady at the local grocery store - she put on new gloves for a deli order.
BUT
She observed a discarded glove on counter. Picked up the used discarded glove and threw the used discarded glove into wastebasket. THEN proceeded to do my order.
Her gloves, although new, were then contaminated by touching the discarded gloves.

Who is in charge of hygiene at the local grocery store ?
Do the folks at these grocery stores receive hygiene food safety training?
And does anyone actually observe them?

We were on the lake both days this weekend. I couldn't believe the number of people out on land. We hit immediate traffic at route 11 and noted it was backed up all the way to Johnsons from the circle.

Tons of bikers at the circle store, and Alton bay was packed as well. It looked like bike week out there!

From a business opening standpoint we have been selling packages to small businesses with face shields and surgical masks and have had tons of orders since Thursday. Its good to see so many taking this seriously.

But if you don't get the meaning of this post- you are part of the problem (and a danger to yourself and family!).

Peter Navarro explained last week:

"The third kill and China’s own customs data, Neil, show this -- we saw while they were hiding the virus from the world, they went out and vacuumed up all the PPE around the world, two billion masks they bought alone. And they took it from countries in Europe, South America, the United States.

And so when the people, the nurses, the brave nurses and doctors on the frontlines in New York or Chicago or Detroit or New Orleans needed PPE, part of the reason they didn’t have it is because of that third kill.
The Chinese had basically vacuumed that up.

And now, the fourth kill is that they’re hoarding that and using that PPE as a weapon in their soft power to project it and to profiteer. I mean, we’re seeing, Neil, these are 30, 40-cent masks, 50-cent masks at retail usually, and they’re selling them, they’re coming to the hospitals here for $7 and $8.
