True story...........Very early on in this pandemic, there was a news story about two hair stylists who were Covid positive. They continued to work with their customers while they were Covid positive and contagious. The two stylists wore masks and they made their patrons wear masks. Funny thing is, of the customers who were tested for Covid, none of them tested positive. That situation really resonated with me. That is when Universal masking hit home for me and I realized that masks really do work to slow the spread of the virus.
This is the story of these two stylists and their customers........

Why let a silly thing like facts or statistics interfere with your “feelings” about mask use?!?
Here’s my true story. Over the last 5 months, three times I have played water volleyball on the same team as someone who tested positive later that same day. The first two times, both myself and all the other players on that court were tested and all tested negative. The third time most of us didn’t even bother to get tested. At that point we realized that even though we were playing within three feet of someone for two hours, the fact we were not wearing masks really didn’t have an impact - especially outdoors.
