Completely agree, Steve. Despite my own preference for wearing a mask, I don’t berate others whom I come across maskless. I do, however, invite those who get too close to me to socially-distance themselves from me. Except I don’t express myself as politely as that. ;-)

I don’t know whether masks protect either the wearer, or those with whom the wearer comes into close proximity. However, wearing a mask won’t harm me, it doesn’t particularly inconvenience me, and I wear mine properly, so I choose to take what I consider to be the ‘safer’ route. If others choose not to, it’s not a requirement under C-19 regulations, there’s nothing I can do about it, so I’m not going to drive up my BP by getting too excited about it.

FWIW, the (world-wide, US-owned) company that Mrs Backwoodsperson works for has a rule that masks are to be worn at all times that staff aren’t actually sitting at their own work-stations, so mask-wearing is, for her, second-nature now.
