Wearing a mask is a sign of mutual respect during the coronavirus pandemic ForbesFrontlines
As a public health physician, I know the SARS-CoV-2 virus doesn’t care that we are all going a little stir crazy sheltering in place.

My chances of getting infected, therefore, are not solely based on my actions, but are also impacted by the behaviors of those around me.
You wear a mask to protect others, and others wear a mask to protect you. Wearing a mask is a true sign of respect for others; it is not an impingement on one’s freedom as many have claimed. Wearing a mask tells the person you pass on the street, share an aisle with in the supermarket, or march along side at a peaceful protest, that you respect them as a fellow human.
