Yup those viruses are very big money-spinners, without them they'd be fucked.
I noticed my local Aldi now has a BIG sign as you walk in the door saying MASKS ARE NOW MANDATED and YOU MUST WEAR A MASK. No more please and thankyou for wearing a mask. I wonder if they're gearing to ramp up too coz if they do no more food for me. I still went in maskless and still no-one said anything so it could just be posturing, orders from the top.
