That was *just* two months ago. I'm grateful that instead, the science won and the messaging moved. But, of course, there is resistance to a message (wear masks) that, just two months ago, was treated like being an anti-vaxxer by global, US and European health authorities.

I started sewing and wearing masks the minute I read your essay, because it made so much sense and I’m 62 and would prefer not to die. Thank you. The first time I wore one to the grocery store I got pointed at and laughed at by dumbass macho dudes.

I can’t sew but I ordered masks for the whole family, including mother-in-law, on Etsy as soon as I read the article.
