Mine hasn't but since we're so close to Raleigh I expect it soon. The county hasn't yet but I also expect that soon What confuses me is when you check out the FAQ and the part of who isn't required to wear a mask. Why would children under 12 not need a mask? I feel like anyone could use the loophole of religious beliefs. What religious would prevent masks though? When is a face covering not required? For people whose religious beliefs prevent them from wearing a face covering. For those who cannot wear a face covering because of a medical or behavioral condition. For children younger than 12 years old. For restaurant patrons while they are dining. In individual, private offices. When complying with directions of law enforcement officers. In settings where it is not practical or feasible to wear a face covering, including when obtaining or rendering goods or services, such as when receiving dental care or swimming. While with members of a family or the same household Would have been better than waiting When I say they should have made a ban I mean we should have closed our boarders to everyone Problem was we had Americans everywhere and were trying to get them home There are some whacko Christians that try to pull the religious card on masks. For kids, it's mostly about unobstructed breathing.

There are 4 Hospitals in the system here. 1 full, 2 getting close to full and 1 at roughly 50% The ER's are sending people home that are basically anything other than critical. Its going to be an interesting next few days and weeks for sure. THere's a low dose steroid showing promise in treatment of the seriously screwed.

Steroid use is common in respiratory ailments. How this made news is beyond me!~ It's not peer reviewed yet either, so if you're serious, shut up

Was at Lowe's this weekend and, to my surprise, almost every single person had one on. But then I went to H.E.B. and almost nobody was wearing one.

It was a smaller airline. When she got there most of the airline staff were not wearing masks. They boarded everyone to the back of the plane all right next to each-other, THEN redistributed them in a spaced out way once they had a final count. This is why we can't have nice things.

First people cry for the economy to open (aka: LIBERATE [state]). Then states say, "Cool, we'll open. Just don't infect these low wage workers who are keeping the shelves stocked, or serving you burgers or whatever." And now that's somehow a violation of their rights, too. So essentially, what these patriots want to do is "pretend away" the pandemic because the sacrifice of occasionally wearing a mask for their fellow countrymen is too much.
