    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which advises people to wear cloth face masks in public settings, does note that such coverings shouldn’t be worn by “children under the age of 2 or anyone who has trouble breathing, is unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.”

    But that doesn’t mean anyone citing a disability, or showing the viral “exempt card” for that matter, can simply bypass face mask requirements enforced by businesses or government agencies.
    The Southeast ADA Center said in a recent brief that “f a person with a disability is not able to wear a face mask, state and local government agencies and private businesses must consider reasonable modifications to a face mask policy so that the person with the disability can participate in, or benefit from, the programs offered or goods and services that are provided.”

    “A reasonable modification means changing policies, practices, and procedures, if needed, to provide goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations to an individual with a disability,” the center added.
    “What the ADA basically mandates is that they have to consider serving the customer in another way,” the center’s project director, Vinh Nguyen, told PolitiFact. “They don’t have to allow entry into the actual store.”

    Examples might include allowing a person to order online or by phone with curbside pickup; permitting someone to wait for an appointment in the car; or carrying out appointments by phone or video.

    Watching Mormons in Utah who are on the far right of the political spectrum explain away/rationalize the official call from the LDS Church for members in that state to wear masks in public is quite interesting.

    He's pretty widely acknowledged as one of the worst coaches to win the title in the modern era. He won with someone else's players. Everything after 1998 shows he's a 3rd rate coach. So I'm wondering what the attraction is.

    Morbidly interesting stuff from Andy Slavitt and others in recent days

    No particular order
    • The insane +ve rate of 18% in florida indicates undetected super spreaders
    • Testing is clearly overrun when +ve is this high
    • 7 day waits for test results ensures failure of test/trace - virus already one step ahead
    • Another PPE shortage lies ahead
    • State based testing can't scale to handle these numbers - this is why federal capacity mattered
    • Mass death inbound - despite improved clinical response (won't be NYC bad)
    • CDC is focussing on the data - trying to get a handle on where things are at
    • Birx has dispatched local teams - stuff is happening - just no media coverage
    • School reopening will fail (obviously)
    The overall issue is how on earth to get a grip on this now.

    Once his son tested positive, Chuck changed his mind about the virus in two and two.

    Japan has not had hard closures, depending instead on the citizens policing themselves and wearing masks in public. Like Sweden, it kinda worked because the citizens follow rules well, and unlike Sweden it worked better because the Japanese don't mind wearing masks. But now Tokyo is in trouble (not America trouble, but still 200+ cases a day). The problem is that youth are stupid, and without closures they are congregating in bars and nightclubs and spreading the coronavirus amongst themselves.

    The best responses remain combining a population mostly willing to follow advice from the best science available and a government setting hard rules for the small percentage that don't.

    Of course 200 cases per day is in the context of 10m people so not disastrous (yet)

    This is day 6 of me waiting for a test.

    I work in two stores. One is creating a list of every customer that enters the store, the other isn't.

    Take the running store I work at. I have 10 colleagues and we get about 30 customers a day. I work there 3 days a week.

    If my result is positive or creates a logistical nightmare. We have to contact all the customers that came to the store on the days I was working, then each of my colleagues needs to get tested, with a 7 working day turnaround. That would shut the store.

    Wrt to the hardware store i work at, I work in a team of 6 people. Most of my direct colleagues are in their 50s or 60s. They'd all need to get tested which means our entire team would be out for around 7 working days.

    No wonder both of my bosses are freaking out.

    Yep - also shows why test results need to be 24hrs minimum

    otherwise people you infected already infected others

    Doubt that will happen. The Reps in the state have been suspiciously quiet regarding the pandemic recently. There has been little notice given to this, Dane County (Madison) is also doing mandatory mask wearing, and both Pick 'n Save and Kohl have also announced mandatory mask wearing in stores. Personally, I think it is because this is supposed* to be a battleground state and the unpopularity of Individual One's conspiracies and actions regarding this pandemic would only help diminish his chances in the state in November if the Republicans challenged the ordinances.

    * - I don't think it is a battleground state. I think Biden has already won Wisconsin.

    I think so too. I think this is the map if the election were held today.

    The WI Supreme Court already overruled the governors shut down order so I don’t think the WI GOP cares. I fully expect them to challenge this!
