MASKS: Consideration needed

Regarding Kaye Thornbrough’s story of June 4, celebrating the re-opening of downtown and the “protesters.” The article was accompanied by a photo of a business owner and a customer, about two feet apart, and mask-less!

On June 1, I went to a medical building in the 800 block of Ironwood. There was a large sign over the elevator buttons asking for social distancing. I was followed into the building by a young woman. I asked if she needed the elevator as I was early for my appointment. She said she was waiting for her husband so I went ahead and boarded and pushed the button for my floor.

Suddenly, both the woman and her husband pushed onto the elevator, both mask-less. I edged myself off and wondered if I had been their grandmother, would they have behaved differently? What a world we live in now!
