Tonight, I went over to Chimayo in Dillon to pick up items my wife had bid on in the \u201cLove the Summit\u201d auction. Fully half the customers in there did not have face mask on. One looked at me sheepishly and pulled her blouse up over her mouth but left the nose exposed. Six feet spacing was at least observed. At City Market, I would say a third of the customers could not be bothered with masks, nor could they be bothered paying attention to the one-way isles.<\/p>\n<p>This letter is not to debate how good the masks will be at both protecting the wearer and preventing the wearer from infecting other people, but since that is now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, it should be followed. If I can\u2019t trust that the locals will take mask wearing seriously, then I can\u2019t visit the stores and shop, will move to Amazon and only frequent establishments that do curb-side pickup. I don\u2019t think that I will be alone in this thinking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div readability=\"11.254797441365\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-7 pt-3 pb-4 sd-4 pl-4\" readability=\"19.081545064378\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png\" class=\"logo\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>As a Summit Daily News reader, you make our work possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Now more than ever, your financial support is critical to help us keep our communities informed about the evolving coronavirus pandemic and the impact it is having on our residents and businesses.
