When I wear a mask I do it not because I believe that masks are really necessary but to make the fearful less fearful. I'm conflicted as to whether or not that is actually the right thing to do because I really do not like the precedent this is setting.

I have a picture of two delightful people, married to each other for more than fifty years, in good health for an 80 and 81 year old, and who lived in Ohio until three weeks ago when they both died of Covid-19 within seven days of each other. Then two dear friends, sisters, who live here in The Villages were healthy until they joined a group of ten to celebrate St. Patricks day at Orange Blossom Restaurant. One was in ICU for ten days and the other was very, very sick at home and had to be taken to the ER in the ambulance for dehyration.
It is real. It is new. It harms and kills, but not everyone. It is kind of like a serial killer, lurking and waiting. People can decide to get locks (masks) or not...............
