My wife and I typically have breakfast at the local greasy spoon. Small town. Everybody knows rverybody. Several months ago, they started serving 100% of seats. A month or so ago, health department came and told them to either get separation or be shut down. They went to 50% for a couple weeks and then got some flimsy clear vinyl and put it up between tables. Usless but passed code. Now back to 100%. Today my wife (of 53 years) said "reminds me of when we were kids and practiced getting under our desks in case of nuclear attack". Yep, brilliant woman.

Whenever I come across the moronic plexiglass "barriers" I either talk around the side of it or bend down to talk through the opening. (No mask of course.) I had one receptionist in a doctor's office ask me not to do it and I just asked, "Why? You don't think airborne germs can go around the side or over the top anyway?" Commence the blank stare.
These went all the way to the floor BUT were only as wide as the table. If I turned my head to talk to or sneeze at or cough at the person at the next table, there was no barrier. It ended at the edge of the table. Tuat is how ignorant they were.
I laugh at all these "protective" measures because none of them do a damn thing to protect anyone. The only good advice handed out was "If you feel sick, stay home." Problem is that's not just good advice for CCP Virus but for all of the time. I went to work sick tons of times. Plenty of people do. Some people can't afford not to. That's likely what spreads more germs than anything. Especially if you work in an office.
Funny, isn't it, that nobody cared about telling people to stay home with any other viruses (many with a higher mortality rate than CCPV) until they needed to use it to steal an election? They even ran commercials for years for cold medicine promoting going out WHILE STILL SICK AND CONTAGIOUS because their medicine will make you feel well enough to do so.
