Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted August 19, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 19, 2022 Too many people still working from home. Restaurants can't survive on weekend business alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalina Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Went on a vacation to Aruba in June. We wore masks in the airport, and on the plane, but that's it. If it saved us from a positive covid test, or even a cold while on vacation, that's good. Who knows if it helped. My cousin went to the same place in July. No mask, came back with covid. Maybe it's related, maybe not. My sister-in-law is getting chemo treatments for cancer. She wears one a lot. My brother-in-law (her husband wears one most of the time too, to hopefully reduce the chances of bringing anything home. If you don't really know the situation, best to leave it be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted August 19, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 19, 2022 Wear one if you want...don't if you don't. We will see some mask wearing from here on out. Chinese have been wearing them long before COVID. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted August 19, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) Problem with masks is that they make you touch your face more than you already do. Fauci was saying this early on before he flipped and said you should wear 2 masks. Edited August 19, 2022 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mask is more of a false sense of security. especially when most people dont wear the right one or wear them correctly to make any meaningful difference. You need a properly fitted N95 to protect yourself from any aerosols. You will get far more protection by washing your hands properly and regularly because the main route of contamination is hand to face. The mask will help in preventing spread by containing droplets but not so much protection from airborne contaminates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I found I was touching my face more than usual with the mask with the constant adjustment of it from sliding down under my nose.

I use the free ones at the doctor's. They have a wire at the top above the nose. It's kinda like adjusting the breather box on a helmet. They work well for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good ones are still rockin. May weed out the bad ones. My fave Italian beef guy sold his brand new yuge restaurant he built and bought a smaller building for drive thru only. He was really pissed about the shutdowns and all the restrictive rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Dine in restaurants have been hammered over the last 2 years, on all fronts. Can't find employees, food costs, rents are going up not down, demanding customers both pro and anti mask. The list goes on. I feel for them, but what was an enjoyable experience became an expensive, miserable one. I'm surprised there are as many restaurants left around me as there are. I've been to two sit down restaurant meals in the last 2 years, with the exception of while on a saddlebag sled trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We see very few around here, but I'm not going to ridicule them for their choice. The only place that we wear ours are at doctor's appointments but they are required. The mask is a disgusting filthy germ catching gross apparatus that does nothing but provide a sense of comfort for those unable to reason. Like a fucking binky. Take the god damn thing off and forget they ever forced us to wear them. If you are so feeble and sickly that you need to wear a mask in to the restaurant then stay the fuck home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
