My understanding of mask use is that by wearing a mask in public we protect those near us. That is one good reason to wear a mask – because we care about others. Rep. Al Baldasaro seems to have missed that point: He said he didn’t think the death of Hinch would change the minds of some on the right when it comes to their resistance to masks. “Not at all – because Hinch always wore a mask,” he said. “It’s not a mask issue.”
It is very much a mask issue, and it seems an elected official should know that.
