I saw 2 people with masks on today!

But, TN has "very high" rate of flu, so there is that. it always amazes me when I see active brain cells here. LOL

Seemed to get a lot of smiles.
They do have a wipes next to the shopping carts and myself and others were using them.
My understanding is they and the liquid hand sanitizers are not effective on the Bird Flue, but soap and water is.
