Give them friendly, courteous and disarming. Folks today were quick to reciprocate. Everyone you smile at is one more small crack in the farce.
I caught one lady smiling back under her mask and I said to her, "I saw that..!" She looked at me and I told her that there was a pretty smile under that mask. She liked! I got an enthusiastic "Thank you."
These are the things that will fix this mess. I hope.
Thank you for reading.

You’re a much better person than I. I’ve had it with the few remaining masked people I see out and about. I now consciously smile and talk to only other unmasked people (unless the masked person is working, obviously.) Their compliance has propelled us further into this mess and it’s time they start feeling disenfranchised and lonely.
