3. If they were in many locations they'd have to provide their own just to get to work.

Or, as we're told locally, face a "hefty fine."

I don't know that they'd need to have regulation face masks as a kind of uniform--have to take off the one you wore to work, leave your official work mask at your desk when you left. If we have to provide our own to go to the mailbox or get gasoline, I don't see the big deal.

It's been strongly suggested for a while. While I saw store-issued face masks at Walmart Tuesday (some of them interestingly worn, under the chin or just over the mouth and not the nose), the car repair place the employees had their own. Same for the pizza place a couple of weeks ago (drive through window, naturally).

I'm personally trying to work through possible plans for starting school again in August--what are the options, good, bad, and ugly.
