State Laws?
If I remember correctly, I heard that there are state laws on wearing masks in public.
[In Japan,] it's not unusual for us to wear masks in public or at work, to prevent ourselves from catching a cold.
At the hotel I worked at in CA, the housekeeping ladies never wear masks while cleaning rooms because somebody told me that wearing a mask can be offensive [to guests?]. It's absurd that we can't protect ourselves from countless airboune viruses just by wearing a mask. Can we only wear them in hospitals? I live in the desert and we get a lot of dust [sand storms?]. I'm afraid to wear one even when I'm out grocery shopping. Is there are state law forbidding masks in public? What are your thoughts?
Thank you,
Saya
