In every venue you can, leave...It has to start now. In every venue you can, leave the mask off. Don't put it on until you HAVE to. Pretend absent-minded, if you must.<br /><br />Or, alternatively - call out those not wearing the mask properly - MANY people wear it with their nose exposed (I've seen it more often with the Black community, but also in other ethnic groups). Make sure that you are irritating to the MAX. Insistence on rigid enforcement is a sure way to get people pissed off at the rule.<br /><br />If you HAVE to wear it (in medical offices, or at work), make a point of conspicuously making an adjustment, such as drawing an X in pen on a corner of it. If asked, give the excuse that you just want to make sure that the 'right' side is facing the right way. When that person moves, give a conspiratorial wink at anyone close.<br /><br />Over time, change the symbol. You may want to use red pen. That may be overkill. If you can, use the Simon Jester symbol (those with sci-fy interests will likely catch on).<br /><br />In time, some may join you in your quiet rebellion. Make note of who they are; take an opportunity to get to know them. That can be the start of your 'cell'.Linda Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024201252345608291noreply@blogger.com
