Yesterday I witnessed a group of three adult women, the proverbial “soccer-mom” type, standing on a street corner in a wealthy Connecticut town handing out literature and yelling, “take off your mask and show your beautiful face to the world! The virus is a political con!”

What?!?! My cousin died from this, only 47 and healthy. And a close friend’s father. And a fellow volunteer at an annual cultural event. And over 936,000 other people with 26+ million infected.

Simply wearing a mask in public is the #1 way to protect yourself, and it’s eschewed by so many of the seemingly educated, and propagated as anti-American, anti-Rights, anti-Progress.
