Good morning everyone! I think I need to print t-shirts and sell them with emblazoned with: “I tested positive” Maybe then, maybe, people will keep their distance and wear masks. Perhaps if they can see the danger to themselves they might whistle a different tune. I’m writing this from Aspen, Colorado. It’s a place with a strong sense of purpose, with people who at least say they care about their fellow human beings. It is the home to the Aspen Ideas Festival, which focuses on big ideas for making the world a better place. And yet… I remain astonished over how many people don’t wear masks when walking down the street. Of course, at least it’s not Georgia, whose Governor signed an Executive Order today prohibiting cities and counties from mandating the wearing of masks, notwithstanding scientific evidence that doing so would reduce transmissions by over 85%. Science, as we have learned to our collective harm, is now apparently merely optional.
