I'll be 74 soon so mask and gloves for me whenever I venture out. I stay away from naked faces. I don't quite get the resistance to wearing masks as I view it not as a personal decision but a societal one. Masks save Amercan lives.
I remember all the resistance seat belts got when they appeared but we use them now. Motorcycle helmets went through the same stuff.

Texas GOP to go ahead with state convention in virus hotspot Houston
Over opposition from doctors and some local party activists, the Texas GOP is moving ahead with a three-day convention starting July 16 in Houston, one of the nation’s coronavirus hotspots,
Party leaders voted Thursday night to stick with an in-person gathering that is typically one of the largest political conventions in America, drawing thousands of attendees. Some supporters suggested that changing plans is not what President Donald Trump would want.
The vote came hours after Republican Gov. Greg Abbott issued a statewide mask order as COVID-19 hospitalizations in Texas set another high Thursday. Hospitals in Houston have warned they are becoming stretched and the Texas Medical Association has called for cancelling the convention, saying now was not the time to pack thousands of people indoors.
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, a Democrat, has left the decisions about the convention up to the GOP.
In Nashville TN the annual 4th of July Freedom Festival and Fireworks show has been cancelled by the mayor for fear of the spread of the covid virus.
The BLM rally to take place at the same time and space has been given the go ahead.

My doctors release to go back to work stated not to be around people as becoming infected would be fatal even thought my last labs show up to the minimum of being normal. Now I have to try to work from home for at least 2 months

Well then you gotta work from home.
I only go into the office every other day, but do not see customers face to face. Only electronic shipment processing. For the rare Military member that comes in, it is only at the window that has a plexiglas shield. Military moves can all be handled electronically today and freight I only schedule pick ups and issue Bills of Lading.
Everyone stay safe, this crap can really put a hurting on you

I’ll be doing purchasing until I can go back. It’s hard to supervise production offsite.
Understand that
Luckily I can do 80% or better of my job from home.
Tomorrow I will learn if I can do a bit more
Glad you are not out of work though. There are some people really hurting now that Miami is going on lock down again

Biotch probably did it on purpose.
I find it odd that judges can just decree something and it has to be followed. Isn't that what the legislature is for?
