Masks Make People Stay Away from You ... and That's a Good Thing
Massimo Marchiori, an
Italian computer scientist and his team, strapped on a social distancing belt
that measured folks reactions to seeing other folks. They walked around malls
and other outdoor venues.
When
a mask was worn, people altered their course and doubled the distance between
other humans. If the mask were handmade and seemed a bit tattered, maybe a nose
poking through, they gave folks even more space. When no mask was worn, folks
often drifted to within one foot of a passing stranger.
Covid-19
cases are still on the rise in Arizona and there are still folks who contest
wearing a mask. Perhaps they are starved for love and affection and need to get
close to someone, anyone … infected or not.
Whether
you believe that masks are effective safeguards against virus infections or
not, masks keep folks away from you and that’s the best protection of all.
This
week’s donation was 287.7 lbs. of pet food and $60.00 in checks. In addition,
there was a half pack of disposable diapers and 5 pill bottles.
See you Sunday,
Peter
