I thought rest areas were closed everywhere cause of reach arounds & gueer frolicking.was it kansas last week....forgot about covid for the week i was there....very few masks and everything seemed to be opened for business.
drove through Illinois and that state still has their rest areas closed..

I can opt out on condition 1, I have a behavioral condition, I'm a rebel.My dad said I can claim #11 any time I wanted to...because he’s pretty sure he couldn’t safely get a mask on my face. 😂
It boils down to personal responsibility which is what you did ... and not be told by an idiot in Raleigh you must.Could just be coincidence or just my mind playing tricks but I went to visit my 84 yr old mom and wore a blue "paper" mask for an hour. I got up to leave and was dizzy as a loon. The vertigo persisted for about an hour or more after leaving and taking off the mask. Longest I have ever worn one to date. I hate the damn things but will wear one when I have to.
I've switched to just wearing some computer glasses and a clip-on face shieldI'm not wearing one again. Tired of the contact dermatitis on my face and the sneezing & sinus infections fr being forced to wear them for 12 hour shifts at work. Wonder if I'll have to ask anyone the likelihood of keeping their jobs when HR is writing the checks for violations of the ADA.
Grabbing a hotel in Mt. Vernon, Ill and maybe 10 cars here on a travel holiday. Very eerie feeling. No inside dining with tons of restuarants around me.Illinois is so broke that even if the rest areas were open the toilets would be plugged or missing and the trash bins overflowing. Keep on driving closed or not.

that's weird, because i was in TX a couple weeks ago in a COVID hot spot county. The hotels were no-vacancy and the restaurants were busy. some of them were PACKED.Grabbing a hotel in Mt.

Granted I'm not in or around hospitals, but SE Charlotte/Matthews seems pretty sedate.It is getting bad at the hospitals in Raleigh. Had to take my wife to Rex late Sunday night due to complications from her surgery the previous week. We got there around 12:30 am Monday morning and had to stay in the emergency room until around noon the next day cause they did not have any beds available. Even then, they sent her to overflow in the neuro icu. Got a call from her yesterday before I left to go see her that they were moving her because they were going to turn where she was at into a covid isolation ward.
Also a lot of the nurses were complaining about the workload due to nurse shortages. If they are exposed they have to quarantine for 14 days even if their covid test is negative. So there are a lot of nurses out due to quarantine even if they test negative after exposure.
One nurse also relayed a story about a nurse at UNC hospital who was working in the covid unit that committed suicide due to dealing with all the death around her. Sounds like PTSD to me. Management needs to take a lesson from the US military on how to deal with this type of problem.
I do not know how it is in the more rural areas but in the big cites it seems like our health care system is starting to get stressed.

Makes sense. If you make a nurse stay home for 2 weeks every time one of these phony tests show a positive there are going to be nurse shortages. This ain’t rocket science, plus we are entering flu season. That will. Be used to ratchet up the crazy even more.
But legalizing it does?
It was the ceremony to pardon the 2 turkeys ...I heard ole roy was making an announcement today at 5 anyone hear anything about it?
the new orders are pushing more and more responsibility on businesses to ensure that people are wearing masks - but they still aren't legally able to ask you why you aren't going to wear one and can't make you wear one.Last week it was business as usual at Jim's Range/Fayetteville. Some customers and employees had masks on, some did not. Mostly not. Signs on the door said, basically, please wear one.
Today, signs are saying a mask is required to get inside. Wow. Everyone had one on, it was bizarre.
(Two of us shooting didn't have one on in the range part. Others did. Shooters were separated by 3 lanes at least.)
At Mission BBQ, the place was doing good take-out business, everyone is required to mask up.
Fun times in NC. I guess after a couple weeks, we'll be having curfews again.
BUT they can refuse service and call law enforcement to Trespass you from their property ... even if the ADA card is played.the new orders are pushing more and more responsibility on businesses to ensure that people are wearing masks - but they still aren't legally able to ask you why you aren't going to wear one and can't make you wear one.
It's probably the biggest game of make believe we will experience in our lifetimes
They could, but that hasn't happened yet.BUT they can refuse service and call law enforcement to Trespass you from their property ... even if the ADA card is played.
"study reported in 2005 by the U.S. National Library of Medicine concluded that “dizziness, headache and shortness of breath are commonly experienced by the medical staff wearing N95 masks.”It boils down to personal responsibility which is what you did ... and not be told by an idiot in Raleigh you must.
As to you being dizzy, the blue paper masks should not do that but if it did affect you that way be careful of true N95 masks (the ones that actually do some good) because they can affect your breathing cycle because they do actually filter smaller particles and their fit seals better to your nose and mouth.
I can last about 15 minutes with a blue paper one on, then I NEED AIR!! Just experienced that in Food Lion today. I have claustrophobia and masks make me freak out......."study reported in 2005 by the U.S. National Library of Medicine concluded that “dizziness, headache and shortness of breath are commonly experienced by the medical staff wearing N95 masks.”
Just found this link. Had no idea but it did it to me with blue paper mask.
There is truth in that even for thus not claustrophobic ... people change their breathing when their face is covered. I have been using various types of breathing apparatuses (be it a simple respirator, underwater SCUBA or responder SCBA types) for well over 30 years. Wether it being diving or VFD responses my bottle times increased as I became more use to and at ease ... while others went thru bottles in 2/3rd the time. Honestly, wearing a mask doesn’t bother me physically ... if the mask is appropriate for the job and actually makes a difference ... but the idea of some goobernut who has no real clue what’s going on telling me I must is what chafes my chestnuts.I can last about 15 minutes with a blue paper one on, then I NEED AIR!!

Even the "Good" N95 Masks are nearly (not totally) useless for this mess. Comrade Cooper wants CONTROL of his Subjects!I still say its all abouthygieneCONTROL and the mask only a little bit.
How many people do you watch walk out of a public restroom and not wash their hands. Bet a LOT of these folks have gotten Covid.
For the medical and first responders its very different set of rules to keep from getting Covid.
🙂chafes my chestnuts.
When I was training the hazmat folks at the hospital I spent a lot of time just helping them learn how to breathe with full face non-powered masks and filters, PAPRS and SCBA. The people on the team that were in good shape didn't do much better than the regular folks. They said they could really tell difference in powered vs. non-powered breathing.There is truth in that even for thus not claustrophobic ... people change their breathing when their face is covered.

I've gotten a lot better. I used to have to hang out of a car window when going thru the Chesapeake Bay tunnels.....I mean hang half my body out! I hated that route.When I was training the hazmat folks at the hospital I spent a lot of time just helping them learn how to breathe with full face non-powered masks and filters, PAPRS and SCBA.

Also, the very first thing I did with recruits is test them for claustrophobia. I would start with a mask a couple feet from their face and slowly move it in. The majority did OK until it touched their faces and then they had to fight the fear. Others freaked out at about a foot. When they went to level B I put a mask on them and zipped them up in a level B suit. That separated the wheat from the chafe.
Level B never bothered me but Level A SUCKED! A swear they always had our training in freakin’ July ... thank God we only pulled it every other year. By the time we got in the suits (we ran in 2’s with a a backup pair standing by) it was 120° in that damn thing.When I was training the hazmat folks at the hospital I spent a lot of time just helping them learn how to breathe with full face non-powered masks and filters, PAPRS and SCBA.
