People simply do not understand the function of any kind of mask. Just look around at all the goofy masks and how they're worn. I reuse masks of different design and am prone to double up. This only in rotation after masks have been hung out in the sum for 2 days.

I do believe part of the mask requirement is simply awareness. No way are you not cognizant of a mask on your face, therefore you're in defensive mode taking care to wash your hands, not touch anything in public you don't have to, and carrying a sanitizing wipe with you at all times when facing tasks like pushing elevator buttons, etc.

Hell, I have not directly touched an elevator button in years. I believe that the ones that worked as a heat sensitive fixed button have all been replaced. I haven't seen one for quite awhile.

In SoCal we've been wiping down shopping carts before use for years. Also the statewide ban on single use plastic bags has gone by the wayside, sort of. If you bring your onw bags into the store, only you are allowed to bag your stuff. This often causes a bottleneck so it's easier to just say yes to new bags. Note: he bags being used these days are heavy duty and could be used over and over. But....
