There has been some pushback from people concerned about their personal rights, when it comes to wearing face masks in public places. Many of us don’t mind wearing them, and we are trying to wear them in the most effective way. From all that I have read about the subject, the main function of wearing a face mask in public is to protect others from ourselves. So, to you who are resisting: If you won’t wear one for yourself, will you wear one for the rest of us? The rest of us includes your parents, your children, your best friends, etc. In the big scheme of things, it’s a small ask.
