Let’s start with something positive.

If you wear a mask properly, thank you. You’re protecting yourself and other people. You’re slowing the spread.

We’re grateful.

Unfortunately, we have a problem.

It’s a big one…

A lot of people still only *kinda* wear a mask.

A lot of people say they’re pro-mask.

Kinda…

They’ll wear one that droops under their nose. They’ll wear it tucked under their chin, where it does absolutely no good. They’ll have a mask in their back pocket or something, but they’ll only slip it on when someone begs them, and they’ll usually huff and sigh first.

They’ll answer their door without a mask, see you’re wearing one, and then spend five minutes fumbling for theirs.

These are the pseudo-maskers.

They’re not helping.

*Kinda* wearing a mask is worse.

Let’s get this out of the way…

Kinda wearing a mask isn’t responsible or considerate. It’s actually more selfish than not…
