That's obviously a ridiculous policy, and I cannot explain why that's the new norm. It makes no medical sense. :(

I went to a local clinic yesterday (both health and dental providers), and they still want everyone masked. That's good. They also make everyone disinfect their hands. That's okay. There are still other infectious agents out there besides this one. I still disinfect my groceries before putting them away, even though we know that's an unlikely mode of transmission in this case.
