When I wear a mask, no matter how uncomfortable it might make me, I am doing it to reduce the risk of giving the virus to you or somebody else in case I have it. When you wear the mask, you are acting in love towards me and other people in case you have the virus. It is an act of love to wear those masks. I read something the other day that said that if we all wore masks, meaning we reached a universal mask-wearing of 95%, we would save over 100,000 lives between now and February. That is a lot of love right there. It is not just about lives saved, because one of the things we’re learning is that the health implications, even if you do survive, is severe and significant. We don’t know how severe or long lasting it will be, because the virus has not been with us a year, yet. We do expect that many of the long-term effects will be life-long health challenges
