The Modern Scarlet Letter “M” for Mask

I am privileged, as liberals like to tout, that I live in a state, that for all intents and purposes, has remained somewhat sensible during this insane and what I consider, unnecessary lockdown. In the beginning of this fiasco, my company was deemed “essential” and therefore has stayed open through all the insipid social changes. Initially, we were not allowed to wear masks or gloves in the workplace, which was fine by me, as I found them cumbersome and infringing on my ability to breathe, however, about 4 weeks in, all of a sudden, they were mandatory. I found this quite odd and in my rational mind, I had to ask questions and cause a “disturbance in the force.”
