(6,629 posts)had to go to the dentist for an emergency + necessary shopping. Went to dentist + Costco in a California city ~60 miles from the CA-AZ border, then AZ stores just across the border.
CA dentist + Costco: everyone wearing masks, generally maintaining social distancing, store personnel doing the same + cleaning carts before usage.
AZ (SW AZ, deep red maggot territory) 3 stores, 1 restaurant for takeout: only ~1/3 of shoppers wearing masks, almost no store personnel wearing masks in 2 of the 3 stores, many not wearing masks in the 3rd; no longer cleaning carts in any of these stores (they were the last time I shopped, ~2 weeks ago); NO restaurant personnel (saw ~5 people so a pretty good sample) wearing masks when I went in to pick up my order (after seeing that, I won't go there again until there is a vaccine).
Bottom line: CA still taking this seriously but the particular corner of AZ I visited is throwing caution to the winds and embracing death-dealing donnie's recommendation to just ignore the situation. Clearly, his urging is seeping in to the maggot consciousness.
