heard_communityI've been meaning to write for weeks. About one of the first in-person volunteering events I did, as a last-minute replacement for someone who had covid, in a group about covid and disability, where I was the only one wearing a mask.
About Scotland and now parts of the U.S. affected by the TSA decision to end their mask mandates. Welcome, from someone living in England who feels like an old-timer in this land you've joined us in; I'm so sorry you're here.
But tonight I have a resource.
This morning a Scottish friend of mine mentioned something called Distance Aware, a scheme to "politely prompt ongoing distancing and respect of individual social space." Another friend (in England) who runs a small business where they have to work in-person has already printed off one of these signs to hang on his door, glad to have help in enforcing people putting masks on in their small work space. It doesn't seem like a lot of people know about this and I figured it might be useful to people here.
I have a question too but I haven't figured out quite how to word it yet! And it's more like a discussion question than one with an easy answer, anyway.
