Within five minutes, some guy comes right up behind me, with his head no more than two feet from mine, almost looking over my shoulder. I politely asked him to move back and give me at least six feet of space. Then, even worse, a youngish woman decided to leave the venue, and rather than leave at the designate entrance/exit point, she tiptoed along the little stream on the side of the square, and pushed the plastic guard chain aside, so she could squeeze in front of us and go on her merry way. Another close encounter of less than three feet! I was less polite with her. Two very nerve wracking encounters in less than fifteen minutes. I guess we can't be safe anywhere as long as there are folks around who won't respect others. Sad.
Of course, this post begs the question: Why were you wearing masks outside 30 feet away from everybody else? What were you hoping to accomplish? Did you think you were "protecting" others? "Protecting" yourself?? At least those people who came within 6 feet of you made an otherwise useless mask possibly do some good.
