I thought the Covid 19 recovery guideline we are under now calls for wearing a mask, when social distancing of six feet was not possible or not likely to be possible. So, I believe I have a right to not mask if I can assure others of my being capable to keep outside the social distance six foot limit.

Likewise, I believe I have an obligation to others to mask if I am not confident that be more six feet away from everyone I encounter. If others choose to not mask, my expectation is that they will not come within six feet of me. I wonder how clear is to other Villagers.

This afternoon I was at ACE Hardware and not one employee was masked. I needed help finding an item and I was helped by an ACE employee, who stood within three feet of me. I asked the store if they tested temperatures of employees before they enter the work place and they do not. The adjectives that come to mind for the management of ACE Hardware are for not mitigating risk to shoppers are stupid, ignorant, arrogant, and/or insolent. I won’t be going back to any ACE Hardware store for some time.
