The Postindustrial Podcast, Bonus Episode 3: Maskless Sneers
To reduce the spread of COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people wear cloth face coverings in public when around people outside of their household. Yet some Americans resist this simple measure.
In this bonus episode, a trip to an Italian market in Ohio becomes uncomfortable, as some balk at wearing masks.
Those Americans willing to endure the minor inconveniences of wearing a mask in order to curtail the spread of the virus are effectively prisoners of those who won’t.
