We know through basic science as well as from evidence collected so far during this pandemic, that wearing a mask is the best and quite frankly, only way we can personally mitigate the spread. The core idea behind them is that they prevent your droplets from reaching another person near you. I look at it like this; your mask protects me and my mask protects you. However, many Americans have internalized mask-wearing as a personal attack against their freedom or “God-given” rights. This is part of a larger strain of anti-intellectualism that has existed in the conservative ethos for decades. But that’s a longer story for another day. For this discussion, I would like personal feedback on what your neighborhood or city is experiencing right now. How many wear masks and is there strong, local leadership? Do you currently have an outbreak? Please feel free to comment below…
