One should not tell everyone
not to wear a mask because some think it, by itself, will stop the virus from getting to them.
A mask is one barrier to stop the virus, along with proper hand washing and staying away from crowds, stay at least 6+ feet from others.
In other words, I am going to wear a mask even though some others think it is a cure-all for the virus, and others think it does no good at all. I don't make a decision based on what others think.
Had to go to dentist twice in the last two weeks. Have a TMJ jaw problem. This is how one could get in the dentist's office. We parked outside, I called them; they sent a woman dental assistant to the car; she took my temperature, then we went in. I had filled out the forms they needed before I got there, so she handed those off to the office part of the place.
She led me to a patient room; had to remove my mask; wash out mouth with Listerine. Then the doctor came in, both of them examining my mouth - how dangerous is that? They were both right in front of my face, touching my face and mouth - all they knew was I did not have a fever. They were in danger of catching the virus if I had it.
From that point on, the lady dental assistant made the impressions of mouth she needed to do, again right in my face so many times.
In two weeks, got a call the mouth guard to wear at night, was ready. Went there this past Tuesday. Lady dental assistant is a Catholic and she and family go to San Juan, Texas, every year to go to the Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of San Juan del Valle. It is one of the largest churches in Texas. They are going on Labor day this year; stopping for the night is San Antonio, and on to San Juan the next day.
So, when I went back to get the mouth guard, I gave her a beautiful Rosary necklace I bought for her. She said she would get it blessed. Then, she asked if she could hug me, and I said yes. So, maybe we both have the virus???
