Why is it that so many people are not wearing masks?
We are all trying to do the right thing but you go out and see so many people still not wearing masks.
Shameful!
We are still waiting on masks that we ordered online- it’s on back order. So not everyone has proper masks right?
in the meantime, we had to fashion a few out of old sheet/ tshirts…which are not any good really
