Wear a mask.
No, you don’t have to wear a mask all the time, every time you go outside.

The pandemic is a medical issue, not a political one. Follow the science and advice of the public health authorities.

It’s not that hard.
It’s not that hard to just put a mask or bandana on when you’re around others. It’s not that hard to be respectful of the others you come in contact with. It’s not that hard to take a simple precaution which could directly, or indirectly protect a more vulnerable person, or a first responder, or a medical professional.

Trying to wrap my head around why someone put a “thumbs down”, for me wearing a mask is a simple matter of respect of others.
Why?
Ignorance.
