you know the one thing that has been just killing by the thousands, don't you think we should all just relax a bit about this and just move on

      Thanks. I had actually gotten 40 of the KN95 masks a few weeks ago when they were available (Amazon, I'll report for gulag duty later) and they fit well and are the most protective from what I've seen. But it is a clusterfuck: we can't enforce masks, no temp checks even for workers, people taking their masks off or leaving their nose uncovered or touching their face then something or me and it just drives me nuts, on top of the inanity that is the general public. I've been taking in extra masks for the other workers who might not have any, but the lack of even a quick wipe down between laptop shifts is frustrating.

          We are able to wipe down between shifts but it's on us, so I've been cleaning my desk when I get there. Honestly the mask makes me feel pretty safe, since I only raise it up to drink or eat something when people are away from me and I've got constant hand sanitizer. We do also have plastic shields between us and the public and even the most trumped up non masking wearing chud will usually stay behind it. I'm on a laptop; it's the door greeters and other folks I'm more concerned about.

          But of course we're in a smaller county where the cases/deaths are low, plus we're at the beach so people are generally lax on things outside a face covering. I'd say 80% wear masks in my daily travels. It's just frustrating that the governor won't impose more strict measures because he doesn't want to lose reelection, and local gov doesn't want anything else that might be bad for business.
