That was nice of you to offer assistance to that woman.
The city I live just outside of implemented an indoor mask wearing policy Aug. 1st. Banff National Park also mandated mask wearing for outside as well. It is a popular tourist town. The other towns nearby where we tend to shop have not voted in mask laws yet

a reply to: fernalley
Are masks laws voted in? By who?

Or is it the who that tells everyone what to do and when?

a reply to: Itisnowagain
Each city and town votes for their own bylaws. So if an areas Covid numbers go up they can bring in a mask bylaw

a reply to: fernalley

Bylaws determine how an organization (company, club) operate. How officers are elected, that sort of thing.

Dr. Theresa Tam
@CPHO_Canada
#FactFriday - Non-medical masks or cloth face coverings can make breathing difficult in high heat & humidity. When outside in a #heatwave, 2m. #PhysicalDistancing is best. Save the mask for indoors when you can’t keep your distance

The same Dr Tam that said masks not necessarily important but now my city is making them mandatory.

Yep my city too, maybe we’re neighbours 😀

The facility that I work in has had a rapid increase in heat complaints since the order went into effect.

We have always maintained a constant temperature and we have dropped it 2c in order for the complaints to stop.

Surgeons are not likely to be out in the hot sun, walking their dog, playing tennis or jogging in their masks. I suppose they are safer in a climate controlled hospital when standing still. I had to wear one for years doing drywall and, with having chronic sinus infections affecting my breathing, there was no way I could of done much physical movement outside in the heat with a mask on without losing oxygen. Indoors bad enough.

Very valid, thanks 👍🏼

Well I mean if you actually read the hand sanitizer bottles they usually say straight up on them, helps prevent bacterial infections. Covid is a viral infection.

The alcohol will destroy the outer layer of the virus.

I don't know what kind of facility you work in but have noticed a lot of people wear sweaters in offices in the summer. Air Conditioning set a little low I would think.

Sorry, I may have been unclear. Pre mask, we run at about 21.5 to 22c for general comfort. Now we are running at about 19.5 to 20c in order to get good comfort feedback.

Masks appear to make people feel warmer.

1000 employees and up to 10000 customers per day. So not a bad sample number.

Off topic much?

a reply to: fernalley

It's interesting that the same people I see everyday working at retail establishments have never worn a mask, and are always there.

And they're not all young people either.

Even when the Chicago area was a covid-19 hotspot.
