Whenever Joe Glickman heads out for groceries, he places an N95 mask over his face and tugs a cloth mask on top of it. He then pulls on a pair of goggles.
He has used this safety protocol for the past 14 months. It did not change after he contracted the coronavirus in November. It did not budge when, earlier this month, he became fully vaccinated. And even though President Joe Biden said on Thursday that fully vaccinated people do not have to wear a mask, Glickman said he planned to stay the course.
In fact, he said, he plans to do his grocery run double-masked and goggled for at least the next five years.
The NYT reader base is so confused and disoriented that the masks are coming off at the request of their trusted officials. Stories like this are like a way to pity and let them down softly.
Why are we using a crazy person as a model for rational behavior? Might as well interview Mike the Bum about his reasons for arguing with the parking meter.
