@rosemarya. It is wonderful to hear that you had a great experience even with travel through all the states. Yes, you are correct, we HAVE control over how we act during this stressful time. Statistics have shown that face masks are very important. In US, the death toll is over 116 thousand. In Japan, it's 920. Death per million in US 351 and Japan 7. In Japan its not unusual to see people wearing masks even before covid. It is customary to have it on if one has a cold or not feeling well. This is a courtesy and preventative measure. My county has lifted the mandatory mask requirement, major shopping centers, gym, hair salons and stores are opening. Even Disneyland plans to open next month. I will continue to wear my mask if I have to go anywhere. I don't really care if people give me strange looks. My health is in my hands, and I will continue to do whatever I can to keep myself safe.
