Quarantine, ETC

Posted by Patty on November 12, 2020, 3:48 pm

Hello, Quarantining, social distancing, wearing a mask are the only sensible, careful, thoughtful things to do to hopefully keep everyone healthy.

If you disagree with me, Please don't respond!

Thanks.

I agree and as I sit here sipping my quarantini, I’m hoping other recent arrivals feel the same way... we do not want to wreck our paradise!

It's called RESPECT...for yourself and everyone else.

Many are not. Not even masking.

I had a little "conversation" with two gentlemen at Leon's table at tiangues yesterday. Leon was wearing a mask, I was wearing a mask, but these two men, who were leaning into the table and handling food items, were not. I asked them where their masks were. They responded that they are from Europe, and they don't wear masks. You can imagine the direction the conversation went from there. I think we need to start challenging people who aren't wearing masks, especially out of towners. I don't think they'll understand how important this is to us if we don't let them know. I, too, have skipped the mask occasionally, but only if I'm outside and distanced from others. We all need to do a little better!

As my wife and I were walking across the street to the market yesterday. My wife had her mask 9n already. Mine was still on my arm as I assisted her. Every intention of masking up before heading under the tents. Someone commented I needed to have my mask on my face, not on my arm. Noticed many new arrivals at the market with no masks. Even took some photos.
Been here steady for over a year. Open air is ok. But close quarters I try to be respectful.
Let's not turn LM into the shaming grounds that are now reality in BC. But a little friendly urging for the safety of our town is a good thing.

"You can imagine the direction the conversation went from there."
With conversation in quotes above I would guess it was a one sided
shaming party with lots of virtue signaling.

Are you targeting the locals as well? I guess the ole "its their country,
we are just visitors" thing is out the window now?

Oops, sorry Patty I forgot you think the message bard is a
self declared safe zone.

Sorry to disappoint you, Daniel, but there was no shaming, just a friendly reminder of what the purpose of the mask is. These gentlemen were handling food that I was interested in buying.I asked politely. Ask Leon. He was grateful for my gentle reminder. Conversation was in quotes because it wasn't really a "Hi, how are you" kind of conversation. Don't make assumptions that might not hold up, dear Daniel.

When you say "You can imagine the direction the conversation went
from there" it doesn't lead one to assume it was a friendly reminder,
it has more of a "I let em have it" tone.

"Don't make assumptions that might not hold up" We all assume, but
unfortunately very few of us voice how we understood the other, which
is a primary part of communication. I don't think I am alone in the
way I interpreted your words. Thanks for the clarification.

Sorry but I just came back from a car ride and there are more folks coming in droves and buses for the long weekend and I saw barely a few with masks on!

I think we are kidding ourselves when a few take care and the rest are maskless! It will keep me off the streets on the weekends for the foreseeable future!

Just saying, be safe and smart! This thing is not over!

Hola Daniel, I think everyone know what they know, or think they know.

Everyone need to find something safe to do. Resd, watch TV, play your instrument, draw, walk safely, cook, call a friend, the list goes on.

Can I request that you erase this stream?

Hi Patty,

Best not to ask that opionated Daniel, if you want your post changed
ask the moderator (me), different person completely.

I will remove the words from your post upon requst but not the whole
thread as those are the words of others.
Email me lamanzanilla@prodigy.net.mx

I know posting on the board can be emotionally challenging as it
open us up to criticism. I have always hoped that more would be
willing to take that chance until one day there is not a single person
we know who does not differ from our opinion on some point or other, and
we realize that does not make them a bad person nor does it make them
the enemy.

It seems most European countries or at least those in the EU require mandatory mask wearing in public spaces.
