They have seen the positive community results that come when everyone wears a mask. Wearing a mask is not for the benefit of the person with the mask on their face. It is for the benefit of those around them who could be exposed to asymptomatic people who are spreading the virus—by not wearing a mask.

Don’t you? For many of us, the hardest part of this new era is the loss of the tactile—hugs, high-fives, handshakes—and affectionate exchanges that make and keep us human.
