I wish grocers would protect their employees and customers here. Just bought groceries. In store and guest stockers and cashiers wore no gloves. A meat department worker came out to freezer and put bare hands on rail and rearranged packages. Some shoppers did not use free clorox wipes to swab carts. Sick people will entering store to pick up meds. When I told the cashier I wish she had gloves to protect herself she took it very poorly. Gloves on her will not protect me but they could help her and the image would show the employer takes this matter seriously and cares.
People are not listening. What part of DO NOT TRAVEL that you don’t understand. Cancel meetings and travel plans especially long distance travel where flights are involved. You’re setting yourself up for disaster when gathering among many many people.
