It's devastating for the editor
From the comments: "the masks had several purposes, none of them having anything to do with stopping or slowing the virus. 1) be a visual reminder that the world is a dangerous germ ridden place and we must always be afraid 2) weaken your relationships and community 3) stop you from seeing smiles 4) beta testing to see how many absurd things people would accept without rebellion."

Aren't they just wonderful! Her add to post is interesting. I have a son working on a pipeline in B.C. that was approved many years ago that I hadn't heard of as it never makes the news. Previously he worked on Trans Mountain which was major news daily.
