Mask Patrols Instituted

Our new cases are up and hospitalizations are up 30% due to some folks Labor Day binges.
And a good proportion of those were probably innocent bystanders who had it brought into their homes.

Our numbers in Oregon were getting under control until Labor Day also. Now...yesterday I went into the local mom and pop store in a town of 150 people. Several customers were in there without masks, and the clerk said and did nothing. She had her mask down some of the time. Masks are required here in stores.

No outrage here only sadness and disgust that people can't/won't comply with such a simple request.

Exactly, if everyone was considerate of each other and followed a simple guideline for health during a pandemic, then no patrols or fines would be necessary. If people cooperated with a simple request months ago, things wouldn't be as bad as they are now.

Agreed. There are all kinds of things to consider. One of them is the well-being of others. Denial that it is a problem is inexcusable.

Couldn't agree with you more Phoenix, wearing a mask to protect others is the main thing, there are people who have suppressed immune systems, may be in the process of getting cancer treatments, or may live with an elderly or sickly relative who can't be exposed to such a virus. Denial is insane, IMO, enough data and deaths around the world not to deny anything about this pandemic.

I mainly wear a mask to protect myself. Pretty certain I don't have this virus, but I'm not so sure about the lady who was in the grocery aisle 30 seconds before me.

If they're a good barrier from nasties getting out they're also a good barrier from nasties getting in.

I really don't understand why some docs and epidemiologists are pretending otherwise.

Doctors and nurses were getting sick early in this pandemic because of a lack of N95 masks. Those masks kept medical personnel from catching the viruses that patients had. When they didn't have high quality masks they got sick. Patients weren't catching colds from insufficiently masked doctors. Insufficiently masked doctors were catching COVID from patients.

Will the mask patrols be wearing brown shirts and carrying truncheons?

Let's hope not truncheons, but maybe wooden spoons.

I ran into a woman who works with my husband at the grocery store the other day, and she was all up in arms over everyone wearing masks. I stood there staring at her in bewilderment... wondering why all the huff on her part, and just like a little child, she worked herself into a tither over all of the mask wearing and distancing measures.

She informed me how stupid it all was, and that everyone is retarded for wearing masks and buying into the scare tactics of Covid, and how NO WAY is she ever going to wear a mask, not for anything or anybody or any cause. She added that she refuses to go to places and into places of business that require customers to wear masks, making her husband do the shopping, and it was then that I thought, shame on you, you sound just like a two year old on the verge of a tantie (temper tantrum).
 
The mask gives me trouble when taking a shower and when brushing, flossing, and water-pikking my teeth. Maybe it's because of my arthritic hands.

How does one join one of der Fuhrer's patrols? I could avenge some nasty neighbors. Do they get to carry weapons and make arrests? How cool would that be!!

Very disappointing.
At Red Apple yesterday.......over half of the customers were not wearing masks.
Just came from the grocery store........saw just a handful of customers wearing masks......counted 14 not wearing masks.
All store workers in town are wearing masks.

MikaC I never shop at Red Apple anyway, don't even know if we have any in my vicinity. But if I had gone into that store, I would have informed the manager that I will not shop there again, because the mask policy is not being enforced. (And I would not.) If these stores can pay someone to stand by the door and say, "Hello, how are you?" they can pay someone to turn away anyone without a mask.

Aunt Marg, anyone stupid enough to be behaving that way (and endangering others) deserves to get the disease. And she probably will.

That's my sentiment, Sunny.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around those who take the stance that health authorities are picking on them.
