27. Stopped by a Wal-Mart in Globe AZ. 60/40 red area

Most disciplined store I have been to.

They had the entrance roped off so people had to snake around to get to the door. Nobody could sneak in, they could see who had a mask on long before they hit the door.

They had 2 people at the door checking masks and they wore purposeful expressions. Had 2 people wiping down carts.

Upon entering there were large signs explaining all aisles were strictly 1 way and the aisles were clearly marked.

They had monitors in the store keeping their eyes open for anyone not social distancing.

Clearly it was the local store manager that was making a difference. The store was in an old building but it was spotless and there was a crew cleaning and wiping down surfaces.

I'd like to think that the fact that the area has a significant Apache population may have been a factor in raising their compliance to protect a vulnerable group of our citizens but in any case it should be noted that in this red area this Walmart was on top of the game.

So, what did it? The Hydroxychloroquine or oleander? muntrv Aug 2020 #4
Like I said, I didn't get the memo. Laelth Aug 2020 #7
You missed the announcement here on DU ???? The cure is actually a four-parter. Hydroxy, niyad Aug 2020 #13
I'd like to get the correct order - is that it? dchill Aug 2020 #17
Yes. You wash the hydroxy and oleander down with the bleach, and then insert the lightbulb. niyad Aug 2020 #18
Now, is the light bulb supposed to be plugged in. dchill Aug 2020 #20
You would want one of the LED battery-operated ones. niyad Aug 2020 #23
Those might not be hot enough. Just saying. dchill Aug 2020 #25
I think the anal lightbulb goes in first, denem Aug 2020 #21
You are absolutely correct. Must amend the instructions! niyad Aug 2020 #24
