I realize that there are people who feel safer that way or more responsible, but I think it is their personal choice more than of any real need. I especially think people wearing masks in their cars or outside walking is totally unnecessary. To me it is my own common sense choice. I believe that realistic information is the best guideline. I realize there are lots of different opinions out there, but this is mine.

The mask YOU wear protects everyone ELSE.
This virus can be in your system, and you might have no symptoms at all. YOU could, for all intents and purposes, be the next Typhoid Mary without having any knowledge of it. Wearing a mask will protect the community.
Not saying that you are required to wear one. You're not. But in the interests of the lives of the community - including all those out of work employees you might want to go back to work - you might reconsider wearing one.
