And I know some of them are good people who may be sick, but must go out and are trying to prevent spreading whatever it is they might have.

C'mon now, we're old. There are plenty of us feeling our mortality. I see old couples masking and I think - vulnerable immune system. At times in my life I have felt my immune system was compromised. I got sick for weeks in the Philippines, and I had one chronically infected sweat gland removed. I think I had Dengue that converted to pneumonia - and I learned from that I'm not 19 anymore. I have to guard and take care of myself and not be stoic.

I had to mask for my wife, and even though I explained to her that if you're out in the sunlight in fresh air away from folks - difficult to catch - still she was unhappy with me taking the mask off. I do VITA and when someone is wearing a mask, I put mine on.
