I went to the store today and say at least four people wandering the aisles with their mask pulled down below their nose, and only loosely covering their mouths.
I hate sounding like a scold, but come on people!!

But we don't have a president. We instead have a clown that is killing tens of thousands of Americans with his stupidity and narcissism.

Many of them wearing their facemasks around their neck, or below their noses. (And several employees completely ignoring the state mandated mask requirement . . . gonna be a report to the Health Department on Monday.)

(21,597 posts)Unfortunately, Im in Georgia, where Governor Brian KKKemp declared the state open for business, overriding our local blue countys shelter in place, lockdown order which was declared on March 19. (Our kids went out on spring break on March 5 and never went back to school.)
Theres people like me, armed with masks, gloves and hand sanitizer versus the unmasked masses. The grocery store employees are now 95% masked, but so many customers are seemingly oblivious to the danger.

(16,389 posts)The patients come in with their masks under their noses. I gently tell them to pull it up because if "you're going to suffer the discomfort, it might as well be worth it." I also see a lot of patients who come in with their masks on but pull it up or down when they talk. I also remind them to keep it on at all times while they are in the clinic; most patients don't even realize what they're doing.

My favorite is one my son told after returning with groceries (non-contact pickup). A woman wearing gloves and a mask pushed her shopping cart to her car, then proceeded to pull the mask down by putting her fingers inside it at the nose, then took her gloves off, unloaded the cart into her trunk, and pushed the cart back to the cart holding area. If the cart handle or any of her groceries had droplets, they were transferred to her face and inside her mask. I'm not sure what purpose the gloves had, based on how they were used.
At least they're not wearing the masks like hats.
