That's why you wear a mask AND wash your hands often, and obey social distancing when possible.
Masks are meant to protect others who are more at risk than you.
Why would you take the risk of spreading a deadly virus to your fellow Americans?
When you have the flu I bet you don't come in close contact with elderly family members.
With that thought in mind... Is it now your “new normal” to wear a mask out in public for the rest of your life?
(Because this virus or some other virus or other kind of infection has always been around and will always be around).
