Get serious, Sikeston

I traveled from San Antonio, Texas to Sikeston to care for my ailing, elderly parents. On Nov. 22 in the Wal-Mart Super Center in Sikeston, Missouri, for the first time, I felt threatened by COVID-19 as I shopped for supplies and groceries. I estimate 15% of the shoppers did not wear masks. Others wore a mask on their chin or around their neck. One lady carried her mask in her hand. One employee came onto the shopping floor with her mask around her neck. After a dirty stare from me, she put the mask around her mouth and nose. The employees must only wear masks on the shopping floor. Get serious Sikeston.
