I beg your pardon. (I am so glad I got a chance to use this image again. I couldn't resist. It was the perfect opening.)

Speaking as someone who used to commute in Metro Detroit, I can say, with confidence, that you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Also, you may want to check out 94 between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek and 131 between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids.

So what do all of the commuters who don't live in major metropolitan areas do? What are we supposed to do in Michigan, for example?

I think commuters are the larger concern.

Trains use diesel, which is also hauled by tanker trucks, so I'm not sure where you're going with this?

Congratulations!

I know we're getting wildly off-topic, but I can speak to this. When I lived in Ann Arbor (1999-2001), I worked in the file repository for the University of Michigan Medical System. It was full-time on third shift. The building was completely separate from the main medical campus and set up...

Also, some of the cases up north came from spring breakers and snowbirds returning in the spring. They won't be reflected in Florida's stats.

Correct. I should have been more specific when making my point.

Those microbes are carried in respiratory droplets. The mask blocks the droplets.

A couple people I work with tried to get away with those many moons ago, but management basically said "lol no".

Some of my friends keep theirs in lanyards, like the kind you get at conferences. It's a good way to protect the card while also making it readily available for booster updates. It also makes it easy to wear (if eventually necessary for travel).

There's a reason they've designed masks with clear panels over the mouth. Obviously the deaf/HoH community has a need. Just because your friends haven't complained to you personally doesn't mean an entire community of people feels the same way.

This is why I like Gov. Whitmer's plan for Michigan. It's based on the vaccination rate, so it should incentivize more people to get vaccinated. Someone compared it to a blockbuster movie. You had a ton of people clamoring for tickets and showtimes, and then you had a group that said, "Eh...

I tried that, but my mask kept slipping. :confused: I use that as a short-term thing when in the drive-thru and other places where I'm only going to have my mask on for a minute or two. If I'm going somewhere for a longer period of time, though, I have to have the grippy wire. Maybe I just...

And in my case, it makes my asthma much worse because of the hot, humid air I’m breathing in. I cannot wait until they are no longer mandatory.

The nose wire is pretty much essential, no matter what kind of mask you have. If I know I'm going to wear my glasses, I put the mask just a touch higher on my nose, form the nose wire around the bridge of my nose, and then rest my glasses on top. I haven't had any issues since. You can retrofit...

It IS open. They just aren't serving snacks.

Nope. It’s gone. 😕

The air was on, not the heat. He’d already had complaints, despite offering blankets. 🙄 The car was only 25% full, if that, so thankfully it was pretty easy to move to the other side for the day.
