as a great-grandson and a grandnephew of some pharmacists in Safford, Arizona (aforementioned relatives had a family-owned pharmacy which also had a soda fountain), I can’t agree more
I go through the drive-up at my local Walgreen’s for my meds, the clerks are wearing gloves, but of course they’ve handled countless other peoples scripts, money, credit cards and I.D.s with those gloves…and numbers are on the rise where I live, just got the distinction of being named in the top ten by some organization keeping track of the numbers. And it doesn’t surprise me with the number of lackadaisical-minded people wandering around these parts in maskless droves. So I have taken to using a small plastic bag, which I invert over my little package and then close and place on the floor of my car, all without ever touching my meds bag. Normally I’d just grab them and then use a disinfectant wipe, but still can’t acquire them in the greatest nation on earth. Feels weird to perform such a ritual, but because of age and other health issues, I’ve decided better weird and safe than weird and sorry. ;-)
It would work better if everyone one was on board with ‘physical distancing’ and took protecting others more seriously than protecting themselves. OK, some idiots aren’t even doing that.
If everyone had taken the situation seriously we would have stopped the virus by now. Sadly, some people are incredibly selfish and stupid.
What I want to know is why the powers that be chose the word social distancing, when what we need and are doing is physical distancing? Words matter, and there is a big difference between the meanings of social and physical.

Where did you get a mask that would cover your nose?

Amen to that Brother Ziggy! This “social distancing” business is making the simplest things (like going to the bank and shopping) hard!

You and a whole lot of other people, Ziggy!

Social distancing was the original birth control method and it works for Ziggy as we have never seen any little Zigs running about.

Mr. Boffo, at the retired cartoonists home: Once I drew a nose this big…

Get used to it Ziggy. It’s going to be the new way of things.

I wont be. The virus sucks and all, but social distancing has been the best thing to happen to me since I got married.

Pharmacies that did not have mail or delivery services are starting to do that. We have had prescriptions delivered or mailed for years.

You and me both, Zig!

I’m surprised no one mentioned he’s wearing a mask, but no pants!

Ziggy! Your nose is all better! (For those with a short memory, go back two days.)

I wouldn’t mind staying home so much if I got paid for it.
