I work as a self-employed massage therapist in a building with two others one of which is a nurse who refuses to wear a mask. Anyone who comes to see her also does not wear a mask. Her assistant does not wear a mask. I’m 65 and have clients in their ’60s ’70s and ’80s who are being forced to expose themselves to these people. I don’t understand how a nurse with a master’s degree doesn’t understand that masks work.
Hey, do you suppose all the doctors and scientists who told us this is exactly what was going to happen might be right about those masks too?
