Science isn't what it used to be. The world we're continuing in isn't the one you started your degree in. https://youtu.be/CZ37oNdEp5I For inspiration
I met an old guy at Walmart, maskless, at the time I began to be awake and told him I agreed that masks aren't needed. He said he'd never worn one and if confronted, humbly said "I'm not supposed to wear one" and that no one had ever given him any trouble except some of the younger clerks at the feed store. I'm using this now and in the future and if pressed, I'll say, "I'm susceptible to bacterial pneumonia"
Joseph, is that you? If not, you remind me of my favorite alternative history author...
