   Please stop saying we should wear masks "when appropriate."

   COVID surges throughout the year, and other viruses, pollution, wildfire smoke etc. are also significant health issues.

   It is ALWAYS appropriate to wear a mask.

     When officials say wear a mask “when appropriate” or “if you personally feel you are at risk,” it has the opposite effect and stigmatizes mask wearing.

     The best way to encourage mask wearing is to say that it’s a good idea for ANYONE wear a mask at ANY TIME.
