I felt like a criminal until I noticed a few more people without masks, but no more than 5% scofflaws like myself for sure. But having lived with the anxiety I doubt I'll ever forget it again!
Wise man, masks help prevent us passing the virus to others and somewhat less in the other direction.
When carriers pass the virus to less than one other person on average we have it beaten.
Passing the virus to one more person the virus wins.
Get with the program, clean your hands, keep your distance and wear a mask when among people you do not live with.
On again, off again steps against the pandemic are not helping at all.
Scofflaws are the enemy. The lessons should be taught from the top down.
Now is the time to love thy neighbour, you owe it to them as they owe it to you. I am an atheist so that is not a religious statement.
