Plexiglass

In 1961 one of the worst murderer of the nazi regime, Adolf Eichmann was put on trial in Israel. For his safety, he was sitting in a (probably bulletproof) glass cage. This was the first time I saw such an enclosure. Little I knew then that today these things will become parts of our evyday life.

Banks noe have bulletproof shields between costumer and teller, subway token booths are enclosed with bulletproof shields, in every store the cashiers and costumers are separated with plexiglass shields. In casinos at the tables the players and dealers are separated from each other. Casinos should be fun but these separators take the fun away from being there. Players like to talk to each other but these items take that possibility away. 

The result is that people will think twice if it is really worth the time and effort to go to a casino.

ABC TV has a daily talk show called The View. Whopi Goldberg (not jewish) is one of its hosts. Yesterday she said that she thought the necessity wearing of the mask would be around during her lifetime. 

Maybe so. But my opinion is that even if they lift the restriction she should be wearing one because that would be to her advantage.
