Disregarding expert opinion is folly

Stupidity, hug? I wonder if the writer of the letter calling those of us who choose to wear masks and practice social distancing to protect ourselves and other from COVID-19 would, in his infinite wisdom, allow a surgeon to perform surgery on him without anyone in the O.R. wearing a mask? If has been well over a century ago the medical profession began postulating wearing gloves, masks, and using sterile equipment in a sterile environment, reduced nosocomial infections in post-op patients.

To mask or not should be a personal choice

Dear Editor, In reference to any possible discussion and/or action regarding any government entity requiring the individuals or businesses to wear masks, I stand in full support that the decision to wear a mask or any other personal protective equipment is to be left at the sole discretion of the individual or business.
