By: Steve Date: May 14, 2023, 6:55 pm --------------------------------------------------------- While I was on my break, it was stunning to see how few people were masking. At times, it legitimately made me feel uncomfortable that I was the only one (or one of the very few) to be masking out of hundreds or even THOUSANDS of people at these gatherings. How have others coped with being a "mask-hole" (or, as I've also heard, "an unicorn") in an age where everyone thinks that the virus has vanished and we've all been transported back to 2018? For myself, I keep thinking to myself, "It's still out there, it still sickens people, it still kills people and I don't want to get other people sick or myself to get sick." However, I can honestly say that, at times, the weight of social pressure to not mask was extremely great. I'm glad that I kept my mask on and, hopefully, my example made it easier for others to keep their masks on (or to put masks on) as well. *****************************************************
