Night shift guy shows up for his shift. I see his lower face for the first time; he has a graying moustache and goatee. Every previous time I've seen him, he's worn a surgical mask.

I ask him why no mask, and he explains:

"My wife asked me if anyone else was wearing masks and I told her no. So she said, 'Take the stupid mask off, you dumb mf!' "

So he got peer-pressured into taking his mask off, by his spouse.

Someone in his team out sick with covid that very day.
