[AT] Covid-19

[Stephen Offiler]

Sorry for your loss, Spencer.

I wear a mask.  I social-distance.  I follow the science, even though it
does tend to evolve rapidly, and occasionally seems to double-back upon
itself.  I also have a libertarian streak that makes me want to support the
no-mask crowd.  I can do that, and I can keep my distance from them, and
not feel like a hypocrite.

A loss is a loss regardless of the circumstances, and again I'm sorry.


SO
