I'm visiting in Cambridge, MA, home to M.I.T. and Harvard, and presumably some of the greatest minds in the world, and yet I'm witnessing almost everyone wearing masks indoors, outdoors, in cars, etc. It's hard to comprehend that seemingly nobody questions the "science" behind the idiotic "stand up, mask up" rule in restaurants and bars. I was just turned away from a Catholic church because I refused to put on a mask. Last night I walked away from a local brewery because I needed a mask to walk five steps to the bar, where I was allowed to remove my mask. It's pure insanity, and it's alarming to witness people complying with these absurd rules, especially in a city where science and critical thinking are supposed to abound. I can only hope this is just a phenomenon of big cities and that we, the non-lemmings, outnumber the lemmings.
