Masks are required indoors in public areas and outside if social distancing can't be maintained in Ohio.
When I was working, I wore hospital scrubs, which I took home to wash. That was way before Covid.What is your opinion on health care workers, especially those who work in hospitals, wearing their scrubs outside of work to run errands, get lunch, ride public transportation, etc? They're potentially exposing the general public to viruses, bacteria, and germs through their scrubs / work clothes.
Good for the UK. Masks reduce the risk so much.There is now a 3k fine for people who refuse to wear masks here in the UK:
Fines for refusing to wear face mask to increase as Boris Johnson announces new lockdown easing
They were chatting about this on the LBC radio channel and were saying that only 30 or so people have been fined so far for not wearing a mask, which if true is negligible. In other words, no one is policing it so a heftier fine won't make any difference.There is now a 3k fine for people who refuse to wear masks here in the UK:
I would kind of think that at this stage all of us have in one way or another been exposed to it. It's now what? 7 months. 8 months? I find it hard to believe that in this amount of time grocery shopping and other essential trips we haven't been around others who had it or carried it. Especially if it spreads as quickly or even quicker then what they claim.My husband, two boys, and I have all been exposed to somebody with Covid19 (not the same person). None of us has gotten it. We only found out they had it AFTER we were around them!!
What shocks me is stuff I hear on this forum. About how vets aren't open or other "essential" businesses aren't open. I had no idea that some countries or US states were dealing with this. I can't imagine not being able to go take my cats to the vets in an emergency. Or not being able to be seen by a doctor. In Maryland where I live, we only have a couple "hot" spots and they are no where near me. In my community, we come and go as we please pretty much. You'd never know anything was going on except for the masks and even then, if somebody isn't wearing one, nobody says anything.
We may not have been exposed as much as you think. In a previous post, I mentioned that quoted data is cumulative, not current. In my town, only 112 people out of 100,000 people have active Covid-19, which is 1% of the local population. If those 100 people are quarantined, my chances of coming into contact with them is slight. Here's a new type of dashboard. It differentiates between cases 14 days old and those within the past 14 days.I would kind of think that at this stage all of us have in one way or another been exposed to it.
