“Dear PoPville,
This is a VERY informative video that helped me understand transmission of the virus and why we are wearing masks. The masks are to keep us from touching our faces, not to prevent the droplets from coming in. It is long and slightly tedious but I have seen so many people doing dumb things WHILE wearing masks thinking it makes them immune. I also think this assists with understanding the social distancing requirements. It is about consistent, prolonged contact and the news makes it sound like someone walking by you on the street who isn’t coughing in your face can give it to you. This is an empowering and meaningful video. Take care.”
