I walked by the grocery store, it is still open, and I had to get a blood test. One technition was wearing a mask, the other not. I got the one who was not wearing a mask. I was a bit uncomfortable, but I didn't say anything. Maybe I will go back to wearing a mask in medical facilites. It seems safer that way. I still have a few packages of masks leftover from Covid. What about you?

My cousin and his wife are in Jerusalem, and are unsuccessfully trying to get home. I pray for your country every day, with or without my cousin in residence. I don’t care if anyone is wearing a mask or not, but that’s just me. I know a lot of people, including one of my best friends who is a stickler for masks. She even asks waiters and waitresses to put on masks. I don’t think they like that, but they graciously do it.

Yes, the airport is closed because the government doesn't want passenger planes to become targets. My son works in the airport and now he has no work. He doesn't get paid either.

As for masks, I don't ask anyone to put one on or not. I was just observing that one of the medical philobioligists was wearing one and the other didn't and it made me feel a bit uncomfortable and it I would have been able to choose which tech. to go to I might have chosen the one wearing the mask.

@lifecoachjerusalem I don’t know anyone but her who asks people to wear a mask. I do not want to call a person crazy, but she’s such a germaphobe when we go out to eat she puts her (two) masks back on between bites.
