I just don't understand how anyone can be so selfish as to not wear a mask now in a crowded, unventilated room--especially when they are under siege with their colleagues, and everyone should be doing everything possible to lower tensions and provide safety.
I also don't understand why people aren't being fined for refusing to wear masks--or barred from the building. It is at least as dangerous as refusing to go through a metal detector. This is long overdue.
