^^^This is why, consistent with Washington state law, I am wearing a mask any time I go into a place of business. It makes it easier to keep track.

I wear a mask simply because I live in Northern Virginia, where herds of Karens run rampant across the landscape...

I'm still complaining that I can't keep up with where to wear a mask and where not to. My default is not wearing one, but to alleviate problems, I just wear one in places where everyone does, or avoid the establishment. In the last couple of months, I've gone into the same stores where everyone was wearing a mask, then next time almost no one was, then next time almost everyone was again.

Then if I go into a place wearing a mask where it's like 50/50 mask /no mask, I get self-conscious about removing mine after I enter the store and end up keeping it on. Then last week, I pulled into a place and saw a couple of people coming out maskless, so left mine in the car, then ended up being the only one in there without a mask on.

I don't understand why being the only one without a mask would bother you. I mean, I feel self-conscious about it at times, but not enough to put one on.

Whenever I wear a mask, it is my home made one. The elastic that goes around my ears is attached about 1/4 inch apart at the top of the mask.The mask will stay up upon my nose but does not interfere with my breathing. I've received kudos when wearing it.

It didn't bother me. I just said I ended up being the only person there without one.

White House adviser Hope Hicks has tested positive for COVID-19 after traveling with President Trump to a rally in Duluth, Minn.

Hicks, who serves as counselor to the president, traveled with him aboard Air Force One to Tuesday night’s debate and to his rally in Minnesota the following day.

She tested positive Thursday, according to an administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private health information.

I was just talking to a guy that quarantined for 8 weeks, after he and every other member of the household tested positive, one after another. There's a lot of people in the White House. Trump may have to stay there for 224-1/2 weeks.

Of course they are. But their death wishes are wrapped in patriotism.

If this had happened on Obama's watch and the right were harboring similar sentiments it would be racist and treasonous.

Keep watching, it pops up at around the 3 hour mark.

I thought it was 3 hour 15 minute point. Must have lost track of time.

In a primary school in Yhang, China, 130 students were exposed to UV-C disinfection lamp for five hours and many suffered burns to their eyes and skin.

The cause of the mishap was human error: the onsite electrician mistakenly turned on the lamps in three classrooms following a power failure.

In the Philippines last week, a UV-C robot named Keno mingled with members of the media while energised, resulting in a number of journalists requiring medical treatment.
