I was just talking about this to my buddy this morning. Not only do they wear masks in Asian countries when they aren't feeling well, they wear them in public areas commonly, just as part of their culture. One thing i think changes permanently among Americans, is that we wear masks in public from now on. I would think at some point in malls and stuff, that wearing masks is a permanent requirement.

I really really hope this is never the case. I'll basically just stop going out. It's a huge inconvenience to wear these.

Dude I said the same about PANTS! But after a month or two it felt normal, still working on keeping the fly zipped up though.

We can all just become bubbleboys. Never leave our bubbles. We'll all be miserable but won't ever get sick. Moops.

I would bet a million bucks this isnt permanent but among a very few amount of people,hell were in the middle of a frickin pandemic and here in Houston since things have started opening I would say it's 50-50 on mask wearing.
Now if the shit hits the fan and the Country shuts down again,then maybe people will get the message,but I still doubt it would make it permanent.
At my place of employment{Independently owned retail store}the owners are having the 3 salespeople wear mask when waiting on customers,but if it gets busy and the owners have to wait on someone they rarely put a mask on,and as soon as customers leave everyones mask come off and theres no social distancing.Up until today I was only one still wearing my mask full time but today I said screw it,it's not gonna do any good if no one else is doing it.
They all think I'm nuts for still wearing mine

What I dont understand is the owners just lost all this business,took out loan and kept paying us yet they dont want to wear mask or care because they dont believe the virus is that bad{for healthy person} and the mask are uncomfortable,so here we are spreading it around as much as possible just hastening the return of another shutdown which would most likely put us out of bizness,doesnt make sense to me

This will have to end soon, solitary confinement is considerd an inhuman form of imprisonment. I know it's a joke but does have a little truth in it.

Any time I have had to venture past the mom and pop stores into larger cities for business supplies it seems to me things are just as crowded as ever as a whole. Fredricksburgh Va, is just as crowded as ever and then some. Traffic on HWY 95 does seem lighter.

At times. Rt 1 up around Quantico always seems a bit busy.
