Thank you for your comment, but I believe you’ve strung my thoughts together to confirm your own opinion. Yes, my cousin died from Covid, but I reference him to illustrate this is not a hoax, as was claimed.

Yes, I believe people are safer wearing masks — definitely indoors, but also outside where multitudes congregate, like rallies or beaches or large picnics. Yeah, you’re probably fine walking your dog in the suburbs. But I also know I smell it when someone is smoking on the other side of the street, outside, far more than 6’ away, exuding molecules that are heavier than this aerosol-traveling virus…

I never used his death as a reason to tell people what to do. My singular point is I believe it’s dangerous, irresponsible and outrageous to encourage those who are wearing masks to stop. That’s it.
