Dear Mr. Saya,
My most hearty congratulations on your recovery, | sincerely hope it has been smoother than a few of my friends’ some
are still wobbly after as much as six weeks with all kinds of side effects.
The ordinance says that if you have a medical reason not to wear a mask, then you are still following requirements. | do
know that the community is made to feel a little more secure when they see everyone in a mask and some will abandon
locations where people don’t. | 100% understand their worries. You did nothing to deserve getting ill, and neither does
anyone else,
The science of this thing is still evolving, and there is so much we do not even begin to understand. Immunity from re-
infection is a big one. | may have had a mild case at the very beginning of this crisis when you couldn’t get tested unless
you had traveled, but f will wear my mask - it is just a small thing to make others know f care about the community.
About buildings, because that appears to be a place where most have contracted the virus, someone should- and
probably is -be studying transmission, filtration, and optimum spacing indoors.
| hope you stay well, that the lingering aftereffects are not too egregious. Otherwise, if asked why you don’t have a mask
on, simply say you have a medical condition, but please, consider still wearing the mask to reduce the anxiety and
concern of other community members.
Stay we, be safe,
Jan
