How it's going in one of the Ohio counties under DeWine's mask order

So, we have been ordered to wear masks here effective last night @6pm

I waited in the car this morning while Mr. Ohiogal went into the auto parts store (properly masked, as usual).

A minivan parked across from me, two big burly guys got out, and went into the store. No masks.

After that, a pickup truck came along, parked next to the minivan. The big young dude driving it got out, went into the store. No mask.

An older fellow came out of the store and put some purchases in his trunk in the car parked next to me. No mask.

A family of 4 went into the clothing store next to the auto parts store. No masks.

Okay ... then across the street to Walmart. They were funneling everyone in and out one door which of course pushed everyone closer together.

Masks on maybe 60% which is about par with what I’ve seen the last few months. I saw a whole family, teen kids, no masks on the teens and mom and dad had their masks down under their chins. People young and old, no masks. Saw maybe a dozen people with masks over just their mouths. A young mom yelled GET OVER HERE to her little girl wandering off and she yelled it about 2 feet away from my ear, no mask.

My son came home from his shift at the grocery store and said most everyone was in compliance there, except for one woman who made a stink about it. “Our President doesn’t wear a mask!” she said.

I hope it’s going better for you Ohioans in the other 6 counties.....

I was at Kroger at 7:30 this morning. All employees but two were properly masked. One had her mask under her chin, and as I walked behind her, I said, “Please put on your mask.” When I next saw her, she was wearing it properly. There was another employee farther away who had her nose hanging out, but I couldn’t get to her to say anything. Every single customer was wearing a mask. I was impressed. There was a big sign at the entrance saying masks are required, and the security guy who rarely is masked was wearing one.

I hope people are complying here (Montgomery County) since nearly everyone was wearing masks shortly before the mandate was official. (A major change of mask-wearing in my town compared to a few weeks ago when it was the opposite, with almost no one wearing them.)
