But I work a counter (not pharmacy) at one of the chain drugstores and deal with from 100 - 200 people a day. Close proximity, maybe 30-40% of the transactions involving handling paper money, coins, coupons, receipts, etc. Also a fair number air travelers, inferring from small talk with customers.
I’m strictly at the antennae raised, weighing the facts regarding risk stage. But it’s starting to look like this one warrants keeping an ear to the ground and a few minimal precautions at least, for the moment.
end of January i went in to Kaiser for a routine mammogram. guard and folks working reception all had masks and in my head I thought Seriously, Folks? guess Kaiser got a head start on all this. interesting that the nurses/technicians were not wearing them, though.
At my local hospital, employees that choose not to have a flu shot are required to wear a mask when at work.
