Masks save lives!
 

As someone with multiple high risk people at home, I beg you to remember that science has already shown, and continues to show, that masks can make a HUGE difference in this battle we all face with COVID-19. If everyone wears them, we can go out into stores, etc and get the economy going again. If not, many will want to (or have to) stay home to be safe, which means less money in the system. Masks are a MINOR inconvenience that others all over the world have no issue with. Everyone will adjust to a tiny scrap of fabric over their face, just as they adjusted to seatbelts in a car and wearing shirts and shoes in restaurants. Being smart and wearing masks lets everyone do what they need to do to make life livable in the midst of this mess. Please don’t let those too stubborn to follow the data drive the rest of us back inside by opening the rest of the community to even more risk than we are already dealing with. Please...
