Thank you for your perspective. I don’t watch TV but I do pay attention to three national and two international news outlets to garner different perspectives. From my travels I learned that many other cultures have been wearing masks for decades during flu seasons to protect others from their own potentially laden exhalations. With this particular contagion our social connections put our friends’ parents, senior neighbors, and the already-vulnerable at great risk. With global proof. I can’t be that selfish, nor callous. It hurts me not one iota to cover my nose and mouth in public places. I can still be audibly pleasant and smile with my eyes and actions. But you be you!
