The old women in my church refuse to stop wearing masks - and actually press the mask to their face when someone approaches them.
You can only be saved by the mask!
Fast forward to the 2020 Christmas Season: We were able to increase the number of people to 50, masks became optional, AND we had a big Christmas potluck. Nobody got sick. Oh, and we've had quite a few potlucks since - everybody is healthy.
I ran a weeklong youth camp in 2020. We bought a bunch of neck gaiters which no one ever really wore.
We had a conversation where we suggested the kids social distance. I guess 50 boys in a Gaga ball pit is socially distanced right?
We had a huge covid outbreak of zero.
