I remember the first briefings on it.

I go out with my dogs, but we're completely isolated in the woods.

I do Wal-mart pickup for groceries or do really quick in and out shopping trips at Publix. They have an employee who cleans the cart when you come in the door. Everyone masked and enforced one way aisles.

A grocery list is the best, and I follow it - up and down the aisles where I know my items are, then out, using the self service, which they clean after every customer.

Hate living this way, but until something changes, what else is there to do?

What will stop it is a national mask law and rigid enforcement of it. roamer65 Jul 2020 #4

That might not even be enough. Initech Jul 2020 #5

Yes, that was. Field experience that backs up the modeling. n/t Strelnikov_ Jul 2020 #7

Any closed in space means wear a mask. roamer65 Jul 2020 #3

Interesting, thanks! n/t RKP5637 Jul 2020 #21

Who knows what they will say next but for now it seems to be reasonable information. chowder66 Jul 2020 #26

Just put on glasses or goggles, don't count on closing your eyes quick enough. LisaL Jul 2020 #27

I wear prescription glasses anyway and stay chowder66 Jul 2020 #29

Didn't We Already Know This? ProfessorGAC Jul 2020 #6

That was my first thought. Strelnikov_ Jul 2020 #8

See my response #9. If it does not drop and truly remains airborne ... in essence ... it's RKP5637 Jul 2020 #10

Unless you're outdoors. Most specialists are also saying it dissipates in open air. Merlot Jul 2020 #11

I hope your last sentence holds 100%. That's what I've been doing too. n/t RKP5637 Jul 2020 #12

The Article Still References... ProfessorGAC Jul 2020 #14

I thought to myself (as is my wont), "We ain't wearing masks cuz everybody's kissing each other." Iggo Jul 2020 #13

My thoughts exactly! SheltieLover Jul 2020 #17

correct it's been airborne since Mrch Dukkha Jul 2020 #18

The issue is that WHO isn't on the same page, so they want to influence its communication accuracy. JudyM Jul 2020 #20

That's not news. Of course it's airborne. LisaL Jul 2020 #15
