Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to make fun of you for wearing a mask.  I am encouraging you to do so because it obviously makes you feel safer.  I just want to make sure people understand the limited value of masks.  I went into the post office today to pick up some certified mail forms as the belated tax day is upon us.  Almost everyone was wearing a mask and literally none of them were social distancing.  They think the mask protects them and they can lessen the other measures.  They are wrong.  Fortunately for them it probably won't matter because it takes prolonged close contact with an infected person to transmit the virus.  Of course we are talking the post office which never moves fast so who knows.  I stayed away from everyone because that may actually help.  And I can assure you if I were over 65 or had some co-morbidity I would wear an N95 mask and would avoid others like the plague.....pun intended.
