Data Report

After looking at the infographic, the one 'slice of cheese' that I would add to that graphic would be to only surround yourself with like-minded virus-cautious people. All it takes is one person acting irresponsibly to enter that group in order to infect everyone.

Yet another 'slice of cheese' as to what I'd like to see...

I'd like to see more businesses become more pandemic savvy or virus savvy and health oriented in terms of masking and safety precautions.

I personally think a business that had strict mask etiquette could stand to make more money and have less employee sick days. I would think a delivery business that masked and delivered to like minded customers would stand to do better in the the long haul than a business that took no masking policy.

Anyway I would be a lot more likely to wave or holler "hi"  to a delivery man in my driveway unloading boxes if he or she was masked. I might actually be more willing meet people person to person  to collaborate if they were to mask. 

My trashmen that collected my trash wore a mask as requested for a couple times and once a guy wore a mask dropping me off firewood but they stopped. Its kind of disheartening but I keep my distance anyway as I don't want anybody frequenting my yard or feeling so comfortable they create a gathering for others. So its just as well I don't mingle or create a mingling atmosphere even with masks.

In many ways for me it has probably been better people are uncomfortable with me so they don't frequent the area. I wear a mask when I go outside and I don't go out front or allow people to talk to me. One person who gave us a cat wore a mask and I greeted her because she was masked but even so people are like magnets to one another so its a lot safer in my opinion to be a lone wolf in a mask.

I sort of have two driveways  on one end of my property on an old car with a  no trespassing sign in the car window to keep people from stopping by to offer to buy the car and tree stumps to block entrance on part of my long driveway on edge of yard. In front of house I actually block most of the driveway with car so its too hard for people to park in my driveway.  Delivery trucks park in the road so  really only delivery people drop off things out front and leave promptly without my interference. Then I in my mask take my wheelbarrow and transport the delivered goods to the back to unpackage safely to discard dirty packaging.

So I know what works for me: I prefer people to not loiter or mingle at my residence when businesses drop off my goods and I think most people get the message as I am masked and I don't wave or flag people down or talk to anybody but at the same time I'd like to add that businesses that masked like me might stand to make a lot more money and do better and so I'd like to see and  add masked businesses to the desired extra 'slice of cheese'.
