    This morning I had to accompany my sister in law to the WELL ONE laboratory-office in Foster.  I quickly noticed the sign on the  reception window :

            " Do you have a fever, rash, or bad cough ?   

              If so, please inform the Front Desk Staff so

              that you may be given a mask to help prevent

             the spread of disease " 

      Near the entrance door there was a " Bowman dispenser " offering " COM-FIT , plush Masks " and facial tissues. [ www.BOWMANDISPENSERS.com 800-962-4660 ]

      And they made the same point in Spanish :  " Tos, Fiebre... Pida una masarella " .

         At the Warwick Public Library there is one guy there frequently who sounds like a one man 19th century tuberculosis ward . Is it too much bother to recommend a " COM-FIT , plush Mask " for him ? Or is that too " hateful " and " insensitive " in the cause of PUBLIC HEALTH ?
