One of the more ridiculous rules some of us Floridians had for a while
was that we had to wear a face diaper when we entered a restaurant and
were shown to our table, but then it could come off, because, of
course, you can't eat with it on. That was in my county even though it
is quite conservative, however, when visiting some of the more rural
counties to the North the masks were few and far between.
