People were taught by their mother to cover their mouth when they coughed or sneezed==why? To protect others from the body fluids coming out of you and spreading onto others along with any germs or viruses or whatever.
We do know that Covid is expirated through the mouth and the nose, and Even when you are talking.
Maybe when the self centered refuse to wear a mask, we should just consider they were not brought up properly and are just ignorant of polite civility.
I'll make a deal with you. Once they develop a vaccine or remedy for this illness, I will stop wearing a mask when I think it is prudent. Then, I will cover my sneeze to prove to you that I had proper upbringing. Considering that there is only about one in a thousand chances of catching the virus in The Villages, if that....I am not going to stress over it. It does make for good conversation.
It is kind of fun to watch folks that get too close to you, when you fake a few coughs.
