No masks required
 

I am speaking as a "high-risk" person, and science does not back up the theory that the masks are necessary, unless you are working with a person who is sick or you yourself are sick.  I have watched people wearing masks and it is really a joke.  It does no good to wear a mask, then move the mask up and down your face multiple times without cleaning your hands each time.  If anything, more germs are more likely to be spread then if you just didn't wear a mask.  Even the WHO has stated that masks are NOT necessary for the general public.  I have seen people working drive-thru who wear mask and gloves, hand a plastic container out the window for your payment, handle the payment, return to the plastic container, place your order in the plastic container while adjusting their mask and not changing gloves which completely defeats the purpose of why they are doing this. Again - NO MASK REQUIRED for the general public!
