    Come on folks. Wear a mask when going into stores, etc. in a few months we’ll be vaccinated and while it will still be necessary maybe to wear them longer it certainly would help if you will just wear them at least for the next couple of months. We all must assume when we see you going into stores without a mask that you have absolutely no regard for your own welfare must less that of your neighbors! Show some character please!
