I have been like that for as long as I can remember.
Nice picture of you! Your hair is slowly growing in. Do you wear a mask at home?
No mask at home and when I’m in the car no mask either. I went for my walk today, no mask. BUT if I’m anywhere near other people the mask is ON.

There’s way too much speculation in the media on the possibility the Wuhan virus originated in the level 4 lab or in the market. We know the lab was studying corona viruses in bats. And we know bats were sold for food in the market. We will likely never know the truth because no one wants either the blame or the responsibility for this deadly virus.
That’s what I was thinking.
