I was called the Communists for wearing a mask last Tuesday I have decided not to go out unless I absolutely have to from now on.
We are very sorry that happened to you. We are disappointed and quite disgusted at many people’s refusal to comply with something as simple as the mask mandate, and their attitude is certainly uncalled for. Thank you for doing the right thing and wearing your mask.
