The last newsletter really touched a nerve. I’ve been honored by the emails I’ve received. I wanted to share a few of the remarks that hit me the hardest. From a comment: “I feel like I just can't connect verbally in casual conversation with other people like I used to…Encountering carefree unmasked people at a grocery story, or a coffee shop, or a pizza place... it's just so alienating. The best response I've managed to come up with to being asked about my mask is to respond with a question of my own: "Would you like to learn more about the severity of this coronavirus?" Seeing as how that usually ends most conversations, it seems that most people really would rather remain in blissful ignorance.”
