It's not unproven that wearing a mask protects others. I don't care if it is voluntary or not. It's about precaution and caring for humanity. If you want to risk the lives of others because you feel you have the right, I have little regard for you. I'll still wear my mask around you though, so you don't catch something and pass it on to a myriad of other people.
Thank you for wearing your mask around me, if you feel you are a threat to my health. I appreciate that. I would do the same for you, if I felt I was a hazard. Like I said in an earlier post, I wear mask and gloves when I shop, solely to protect my spouse. I didn't think about it when it first started because I haven't had a flu shot since 1970 and never had the flu. I haven't even had a cold for at least ten years and then it only lasted two days. Don't get me wrong, I do empathize with those that are scared and worried about everyone being contagious. Those that are infected or carrying do not carry a sign to let us know. But, like I have said over and over again, everyone has a different idea of what is a proper precaution. If I did not have to worry about my spouse, I wouldn't bother unless I wanted to go somewhere where a mask was required. But, that's just me. If that makes me inconsiderate, that is someone else's problem.
