Wearing a mask is an act of love, a contribution to the common good. I will continue to wear mine. The numbers here in CT are much better than they were, but we are still fluctuating.

I remember when a 3% positivity rate was cause for alarm. I get that things shift but yeah. Masks, I can do.

Amen, sista! Not only this: "I will continue to wear a mask in public because I don’t know the burdens of that guy one cash register over. As someone said elsewhere, women wear bras and they’re uncomfortable as hell. A mask is no big deal." BUT also this: there are plenty of unvaccinated children in the families of adults I encounter, adults who mask-up and those who don't. Consider the children. Masking is loving.

Precisely. I don’t know who is in contact with unvaccinated children. I’m masking for them, too.

Precisely!! I mask up for the same reasons. AND I will never fly or travel on any other form of transportation with lots of folks (meaning more than me and folks I know) unless I am masked as well. Probably the only thing Michael Jackson had right all along.

Still wearing mine. So, more remarkably, is my 17-year-old son.

I’m finding that I’m increasingly in the minority when I’m out with my mask on but that won’t stop me.

As for aging. We can’t be young again but we can always be immature.

That's a perfect assessment of what happens all too often.
