Neither of us can figure out why people driving by themselves are wearing masks.

There are hundreds of nomad rvers all over Arizona not wearing masks, rvers who are on the road traveling, and many are not in any danger whatsoever. However, what is the message they are sending to others? Well, if they're doing it, we can do it and it must okay.
This is where the breakdown happens and people get sick and die. For me, if it meant saving just one life, it would be worth everyone wearing a mask.
What I have learned during this year is that human lives really don't mean very much until it's one of yours.
As my mother used to say, "when things go south, don't come a cryin' to me, remember, I told you so".
