Report: Simon Property Group plans to open Indiana malls on Saturday

That sounds like a tiered opening, open up the one place social distancing is nearly impossible? Are they gonna have gate guards at each entrance? This whole thing has been foolish, now it’s over! Mall employees be like wait wut? My six hundred?

That "IF" is so big it will not fit my screen. The "experts" have been so wrong why would anyone believe then now?

Part of being a good scientist is admitting what you don't know. The ones that can best explain what they do and don't know are the most trustworthy, IMO.

Opening malls sounds like a better option (in the first tier) than opening dentist offices. You can still "social distance" in a mall, but a dentist or dental hygienist can't really work on you from 6 feet away. Seems kinda bass-ackwards to me.

You’ll not be able to wedge a piece of paper between the folks who’ve been cooped up for a month and a half!

Dental hygienist is wearing gloves, a mask, and face shield. The stuff is sterilized and sanitized between patients already. Workers, and patients are screened prior to being allowed to work or be worked on. I would trust a hygeniest before a clerk making change for me.

I am confused. I thought we wanted it to open up. Let people make their own choices. Now we don't?

I didn’t go to malls before March and them opening up won’t change a thing for me. UPS and FedEx, I think, have us on their regular routes now.

Im all for opening up, I was never for closing, it’s just asinine that the malls are going first? Maybe they all really were lying about the China Flu all along?

Agreed. Most dentists and their staff should be trained in PPE and disease prevention. The risk is primarily to them as they can't put a mask on you.

People "out and about" aren't trained in proper use and the rest of us should gain no sense of security from it. I had some well-intentioned clients want me to make an exception to come in the clinic. I didn't really consider it but I did speak to them from a distance while they stood outside. They all had the N95s with the exhalation valve. I'm pretty sure the exhaled air isn't filtered with those.

You are correct. That mask protects them. It may keep them from spitting on you, but their exhaled breath is unfiltered.

Just a follow up… The mask company I linked to earlier has already shipped my order, so they seem to be pretty legit.

Those of us who study history are forced to watch in dismay as the idiots who keep making the same mistakes over and over again drag us along with them.

We learn from history that men never learn anything from history.
