@sounder27 and @toni1132 It's Labor Day weekend and am amazed at the number of tourists who walk around with no masks! I babysit and people thought I washed my hands a lot then and now keep mask on with them too. There will always be critics but we need to encourage one another that we are doing the right thing for ourselves as well as keeping others safe.

@marjou- There are reasons why people aren't wearing masks. I have to catch myself with our neighbors because we've lived next to each other for 39 years and I'm really not used to wearing one with them. One reason, I think, might be that in communities that don't have a lot of COVID-19 around people are getting too laid back. Some people just don't understand, even after all this time, how deadly it is. Some people think that they are making a stand and others think that those wearing masks are doing the same. And some people just don't believe that it's that deadly because they don't see it in their community so they shrug it off. Some people think that masks stop oxygen flow; or can't see with their glasses on, or people just think that it's like the flu.

The way to stop this is to contact your local authorities, speak with your congress and senate people. Do you say anything to people who don't wear them?
