My first reaction was not needed if exercising outside, alone, but looking at a few governor mandate things they seem to allow an exemption for where strenuous activity may make breathing difficult and as long as social distancing can be maintained.

Unless she scared other members away, the distancing looked easy. But is it strenuous?

Just about any service industry business will have a sign somewhere around the front desk saying they reserve the right to refuse service to anyone they choose. She can probably get a refund for her membership.

I also couldn't escape the feeling that she was being sneaky when she asked him to remove his mask to understand what he was saying. :whistle:

My friend Mary is giving masks out to all of her friends. I've given a few away so I guess my karma just arrived:

On the community facebook page for the area I live in last week, a rather earnest and well meaning (probably) lady was expounding on the benefits of using peppermint essential oil on your mask to assist with breathing and presumably make the world smell like foxes glacier mints. My assuming good intent take was that she was is trying to help people use masks (not yet mandated here but recommended), my cynical side is that she was shilling her essential oil guff to her neighbours and using a global pandemic to boost sales..

Spain, along with the UK and most countries in Europe is now experiencing a second wave.

And some people have responded by protesting against the mandatory mask requirements! :rolleyes:

She's promoting classic plague doctor methods, isn't she?, stuffing the beak with herbs to filter nasties (and possibly the smell of corpses).

I’m pretty sure the inside of my lungs are already coated in dog hair. Hopefully it provides some sort of filtering effect.
