Masks Required?

Post by Ren » Thu Apr 16, 2020 12:03 am

I like the part where they require masks, but nobody sells them. It makes me LOL.

Hope this info helps!

My state now has A $1,000 (US) fine for to wearing a mask in public areas... but masks are next to impossible to find and lots of people are hurting financially... makes complete sense, doesn't it.

Matthew McConaughey should shut up and sell some more Lincolns... better version:

But at least you can use *anything* for a mask...bandana, etc. I was just at Walmart (in NC) this afternoon and was distressed to see about 75% of the people NOT wearing masks.

Then again, it was a very surreal experience as I parked my car...turn off car, position my IWB holster/handgun, put on facemask...I felt like a robber.

Kman is right, you can wear anything as a "mask". The purpose is, to stop the spread of the virus. Any "cloth" will catch the "drops" peoples "spit" while talking, exhaling etc. Just make sure no to wear it for hours... Once it got moist/wet from the mist, change it.

Where going to be like men and handle this pandemic all the way through. Looks like those masks are provided by health and human services. It may be inconvenient situation, but we have a lot to hope for. Am hearing our churches are getting hit big, but are finding creative ways to manage.

We have these daily rally’s at 7PM to honor healthcare workers and emergency responders where I’m at. It’s a lot of fun.
