I read stories like this & think I'll probably never go out in public w/o a mask again. There are a couple of employees at the grocery store I shop at who wear masks but I hardly ever see a customer with a mask. The other day I stood in the crowded front end & three people near me were coughing/sneezing. A friend went on vacation & came home with pneumonia. She could hardly breath & went to the ER & it's taken her three more weeks to feel decent again.

If I were an alien species trying to kill off humanity I'd probably use a respiratory virus/infection, too. What an unexpected bonus that we've politicized mask wearing. 👽
