Masks a must

[countrygirl12]

I personally think it is a good idea.  It bothers me that I am wearing a mask and others aren't.  They may be transfering the virus and not know it.

Then stay home.  If you are wearing a mask then you should be safe.    I don't care what anybody else does.  Walmart, or at least ours, as of today you have to wear a mask if you are working.  I guess it did not specify how they wear it because some had them on top of their head, some around their neck, and some wearing sort of the right way.

I am more concerned with the fact that I went to Walmart and over half the people there had a mask on and I did not find that odd.    Be kind of hard for me to transmit it to some one else when I don't have it.  People need to turn the media off.

I was at Walmart yesterday and there's a sign up saying that you have to wear a mask to enter the store.  Here it's mandated to wear a mask when you are out.

It must be where you live.  A friend was stopped from entering the store yesterday morning and told he had to have on a mask. But that is not mandated in our area.  I talked to a manager and she said it is recommended but not mandated. We were up there this morning and some people had one on and some people did not.

I was told that it is probably coming that eventually it will come to having to wear on to come in the store.  I don't get why though because 99% of the confirmed cases in our county are recovered.  The ones that are not are in the hospital so they are not out.  If you are that scared you do not need to be at Walmart.

I've been making masks from scraps of material and have about used them all up.  While watching TV last night, two of the actors had on really different dresses, one a solid color, the other a flowered print.  I found myself looking at the materials rather than the dresses, and wondering what masks would look like made out of the fabric!  That felt so weird.

At this point in time I think everyone should wear a mask. They say it is to protect others from you. There are so many that are A symtomatic that are infecting others and not even knowing it.

I tried to make a mask but have not found a good pattern. Somebody gave me one and I would like to make a couple like that one but cannot figure out how to do it by looking at it. I am not too concerned with wearing a mask but even though things are getting way way better as far as the virus the stupid is getting way worse. I heard this morning (from a manager that is a friend that works there) that our Walmart, starting today, has implemented the one way travel in the aisles. I do not see how that even is suppose to matter because you still will walk by other people. I also don't see it actually happening. People will walk which ever way they want to in any aisle.

The governor of Pennsylvania just proclaimed all employees of any type of store must wear a mask.  All customers entering the store must have a mask on, if not you will be denied entrance.

Illinois is doing the same thing starting May 1st but many suburbs have already started it mine included.  It doesn't bother me and can only pray that it  helps a little. Not hard to make your own either

countrygirl, the mask I like is the Olson face mask.  This link should take you to instructions and patterns.

if you google maks there are many easy to make no-sew options. for masks. I saw one where I gut created one from a bandana and i found one about just using a jockstrap as one.

Thanks. I will look at it.  I do not have any material.  I have some fleece which is too hot.  And I have some scraps but not sure if they will be big enough. I saw something last night that has a printable pattern. If this is the "new norm" and come fall and winter the stores are going to be freaking out and requiring people to wear a mask to enter the stores I may need some.

I have a "make shift" one from the bandana and hair bands. It works okay. I have one that somebody gave me and I like it but can't figure out exactly how they made it. I kind of know but if I make one it would be good if I knew the measurements she used. The person who gave it to me is not the one who made it.  I may look in to it more later today.

Everyone needs to wear a mask when going out  in public.  They are easy to make your own or buy from those that are making them for us.  Hopefully down the road we won't have to wear them but for now,,,  they are the new piece of our wardrobe. Match your mask to your clothing that yu are wearing

    All are trying to show you must protect your nose and mouth from dangerous particles and chemicals.

I say if you want to wear a mask then wear a mask. YOU are protected.   But don't try to control what everyone else does.  I won't be wearing one.  I did once right after this first started. But have not since. The only way I would wear one if if our Walmart makes it mandatory to enter the building.

It is kind of like the flu shot.  The people who run get the flu shot scream and cry at the people who do not take the shot saying "you gonna make me sick".  NO, you got your precious shot so you are protected.    
A while back I worked a temporary position in the fall and they tried to force everyone to get the flu shot.  I refused.  Everybody got mad.  Well, pretty much everyone who took the flu shot also got the flu.  "I" did not take the shot and "I" did not get the flu.

i wish they would do that here in sc..walmart id making it mandatory for employees starting tomorrow and encouraging customers to wear them..should have done so sooner

lol Yeah I was at Walmart after that mandate went in to effect.  I saw employees with the mask on top of their head and around their neck.  I had not heard they were "fired" if they did not wear the mask. This nonsense has got to stop. People need to wake up.

I think masks will be our new go to,,,  if you leave the house put a mask on.  I have several different ones that wear,,  so I can wear one  come home and wash it and have another one for the next time I go out.  I just rotate them  LOL
