What a bunch of poooo. Rest of the country is opening up…Nevada state removing all orders including social distancing by June….Columbia people are traveling outside the county to eat out….I’m surprised Boone county doesn’t come up with some really stupid idea like hypoallergenic velcro to stick on your mask so you can wear it all the time from now on.
Nope, no reason to go to columbia any time soon. We do work up there onsite and in homes. The homeowners actually tell us not to wear one while inside with them.
Get a life Columbia, the new variants are going to be changing every 6 months so are you going to keep kicking the can down the face condom path or are you going to accept viruses are something we have and will continue to live with, maskless.
