Yep. Pretty much everything is about optics and very little logic.
Actually I think it's spot on.
People wearing their masks in restaurants, drive throughs, etc are not wearing surgical masks nor wearing their masks correctly.
Constantly touching the masks exterior to adjust them or pull them down when speaking, touching the "droplets" that are on the exterior from those infected.
The point of the plastic on the keypad of a card reader is really stupid don't you think when it's not sanitized between users who have been adjusting their masks by touching them externally?
Big piece of plastic between the customer and the checker, neither of which is wearing a mask that will stop a virus buying sanitizer that will kill germs, not viruses and other items handled between them without being sanitized between transactions handled by people that have been touching the front of their infected masks?
If we are going to run this gig like a surgical clinic where everything is 100% sanitized to flatten the stupid idea of a "curve", we need to do this. It's not happening.
I've seen one place that seemed to be following some common sense. I was at a casino gas station recently. When I got done using the pump, a person was there to wipe down the handle and the keyboard of the pump with sanitizer. Was it a sanitizer good enough to kill a virus or just a germ killer? I don't know but they were trying to do their part. The sanitizer in my door map pocket is a virus killer and is used profusely.

Yep. If masks are so effective at stopping this deadly disease why aren’t there hazmat containers for their disposal?

Update on my buddy with Wuhan. (he's 57 years old, btw)
Kind of achy, no big deal he said. He's afraid of his dog catching it.
He wears his mask at work, not everywhere else.
If he dies I want the K98 back I sold him many years ago. (might as well make the best of things, right?)
