I mean I am still not in a "masks save lives" column. I don't think they do what people think for various reasons that may or may not have anything to do with the mask itself.

Asking people to do these things are alot easier when this stuff has hit closer to home. I don't care to do Thanksgiving and Christmas different than normal this year for obvious reasons. It is what it is.
